The lantern arcade idea came across quickly, with five flaming lanterns, a fuel meter at 50 and a health meter that dropped from 99 to about 69 in the first seconds of play. Keeping the light going felt urgent. My constructive note is that I was not sure at first what was draining health or how to stop it, so a short on screen explanation at the start would help.
I can imagine this game being even beter with an city on the back ground, with roads being iluminated to improve the atmosphere, and maybe even doing some forms to make your life easier getting a way to light all 5 at wonce, some wire connecting them all for a limited time? and make it harder if one light goes down.
Thanks for feedback. I was thinking about to make multiple levels that have different bg. The light booster (life helper) idea is pretty nice. And everytime one light goes off rest would burn faster was on todo list, but time was not on my side. But thanks for good ideas
The game loop is quite good, but I got confused at first when the health was draining, as the dark parts were not very darker than the bright parts. So I think you should make the dark parts more darker. And I also think you should replace the flashlight's triangle shape into a circle shape that surrounds you on all sides. The triangle shaped light only lights one side of you, while the other sides are exposed to darkness. Otherwise the SFX and music are good.
Yes, if light was circular it would be more like lantern, maybe i do that. I was thinking that the game is too dark allready but appearently not. Lets make the darkness surround us. Thanks for the feedback 👍
