Extremely difficult controls to get used rather than traditional d-pad and jump buttons. It got my man killed more than death traps did. Decided not replay after first end.
While the gameplay is somewhat good it keeps shutting down on me can you fix it
Great but short
Cool game. Unique use of metroidvania style upgrades. I really liked how the beginning started in total darkness and you first had to gain vision (along with color, hearing, etc). Unfortunately the controls in my opinion were very bad and made the game nearly unplayable. I found myself jumping without trying, yet often unable to jump when I actually needed to. Also some save system would be nice since I often only play games for a few minutes at a time.
Not bad, loved it even though it isn't really my style of play.
Needs a way to save and better controls. Otherwise, it's neat.
Jumping controls (especially double) are more difficult to use than necessary leading to frustration. Checkpoints should be restore points when closing the app. Got stuck near end of game (for 100% completion run) when bad collision detection left me halfway underground and unable to continue. Uninstalled since I had to start all over.
It sounds like a fun game, and I'm sure it would be if the controls even worked!!!
What a fun game. I wish there was more!

Best game ever launched since Extreme Fishing!
No save
I have no idea what's going on here
Reminds me of a simple version of Cave Story! Loved the "awakening" of your senses.
Pls work :(
Going from nothing to awesome in a single gameplay!

I wanted to love this, but it needs just a tiny bit more polish or thought. For example, when I first started, I wandered off and got the jump without getting the vision power first. The ledge to get back to the the sight is too high to jump to, so I ended up wandering around in the dark forever and gave up. Since there were no menus or title screen, I wasn't even sure how to restart the game, since I had already hit a checkpoint. With a tiny bit more polish, this could be a much higher rating, as I love the general idea. (I understand that this was a ludum dare game, and for that, it's pretty good. But my rating is based on actual playability, not on how well the author succeeded in the ludum dare)
