Really tense, I love the feel of the movement. Will definitely be coming back to this one later.

The mechanics are brilliant! Racing the darkness creates such awesome tension, and the gameplay has amazing depth for a jam game.

Loved it! Feel free to give my jam game a spin too.

thank you very much! ^^
i tried your game, and it was nice and fun little arcade experience :>
would be nice if the game had a linux build (just for convenience of not opening steam, lol), but that was not a problem at all :3

This was really fun. I spent like half an hour getting to the second safe zone. The mechanics had some actual depth too. Will probably revisit after the jam ends.

thanks a lot! ^^
yeah, im too spend a lot of time just playing the game at the end.
i plan on updating this game in sometime after the jam to add more rooms and mechanics, and probably new stages.

anyways, thanks again for the review :>
