Confused at first and bumping around in the dark. Not sure what the torches or charge do. Then I realized you can press space, and it became a little more interesting. But it was still hard to tell what the goal was. The light mechanics are cool, and I like the sounds. But overall, it seems to be in a dungeon, not in space, and there is no chaos, and the goal is unclear.

I like how the shadows are affected by the light. Sometimes the movement of the wisp felt a bit frustrating as it would be slow in a certain direction. I liked trying out strategies for getting past the enemy but narrow corridors made it difficult. Cool concept!

The originality was great but this game was the definition of "not for me" I was confused. After I ran out of charge these candles appeared but I did not know what they did. I looked at the mechanic's I assumed it was a meme because of the picture of Walter White from Breaking Bad.

the start screen is amazing! but then there was nothing special. I honestly didn't really understand the goal of the game, if it was just for survival then at least a score would be needed. If it was for passing then it's also strange that you can play any level without any conditions. Yes, I know that my comments sound terrible, but I just didn't really understand the goal of the game.

we just have no time to save the progress and make lvls open after completing previous one. And we wanted to add something like comics with lore, but our team was only 3 programmers)

It’s challenging, but it turns out you can use the spacebar.
