You had some amazing ideas how to address the simplicity of the game and did a great job implementing them. Now it is so much more fun to play and better to control. Awesome transformation from part one.
this was so fun!!! I love the idea, and the different POVs is such a great addition. I second the "light going out makes it horror" comments lol XD
Hello!
I found this game very very interesting.
As other’s pointed out, when my light was fading, I started to panic and felt like in an horror game!
The PoV mechanic I think is well placed and with a lot of potential!
I didn’t play the first version so I don’t know the changes, but I feel that know it’s quite polish and good!
Congratulations!
Not sure if this was your intention, but the dimming flashlight and dark room made it seem like a horror game.
Great update and the swapping mechanic is a really cool feature!
The torch mechanic to limit how you can manipulate things with the mouse was a smart call. It felt scaled really well for a jam game so that people could actually complete it without feeling frustrated and also see all the work you put into it. I hope you'll come back to this idea and develop it even more because I think there's some neat stuff you'd be able to do!
this is a great idea! definitely deserves to be explored further. the gameplay is solid, the only piece of feedback i could offer is that charging up the torch felt a little slow, but the rest was great! nice work with the lighting too.
thanks for playing the game and the feedback! sure, that can be improved!
wow, my praise in part 1 was not misplaced whatsoever, incredible update. you really expanded upon your ideas and it paid off big time, this is pretty great stuff, and i see that you still want to update it, a time limit would be pretty punishing tho lol. but yeah this right here is pretty awesome stuff.
thank youu! <3
Wow! You spent the time well! Great job! Love the update!
Thank you!!
Wow, the gameplay improved a lot since the previous version! Awesome job! I wasn't expecting the light and darkness mechanics at all, but they're a great addition. The locked doors is also a pretty good idea. Pretty fun little game! Congrats!
Thank you! Yeah, the main feedback I received was how the human can move everything at once, which I completely felt myself too. I was exploring different ways to make it look natural and still block human from moving some furniture. Ended up with torch light mechanics!
