Love the name of your game, was it a Morbid Angel reference perhaps?
Wait, there were light calls? =) Enjoyed this game, something of a trial-and-error experience, but nicely atmospheric graphics add to the experience. With some more work I think you could have something here!
That was actually pretty creepy, those bats scared the hell out of me. Very well done, though the sound was annoying lol.
Didn't last too long, it's pretty difficult. But an interesting concept, and you did a good job in making the place relatively scary.
I like the idea of alternating between light and darkness, adding a memory aspect to a labyrinth game.
Those bats scared me the first time! I like the idea of turning of the lights in between. It adds to the experience of survival. Those big red demons were so hard to get by!
Overall, its a good start for a game. It needs more mechanics and features for it to be a complete one. :)
Difficulty was rather all over the place. Good job nonetheless
Controls feel a bit clunky but I really like the concept and a good use of the theme.
Great idea with the sacrificing health for light. Sounds were scary as...hell, the first few times. I'm not sure the time pickups actually worked, fortunately I didn't seem to need them.
fun idea, altho the sounds killed my ears. graphics are not important here - it's hell god dammit!
You did a great job building the atmosphere despite the graphics. The difficulty could definitely stand some tuning, but other than that not bad.
This is a lot better than I expected! The sudden onset of darkness is genuinely terrifying, and the giant devils worked really well for the game.
Despite the bare-bone graphics, everything just felt right and it was very easy to like this game. Great work!!
Nice game, it has a good potential, it's a bit too hard and sometimes buggy, better graphics will also make it cooler.. I really like the concept of the light (quite reminding of my game :) )
This has a good ambiance, even though the collisions with the walls are a bit annoying sometimes :)
The graphics could use more polish (at least a death animation would be appropriate). However, I like the audio. This isn't the first game I've seen in this LD with the "maze with a limited period of light" scenario, but it's still a good idea, and the gameplay is good: right amount of challenge, right length.
The big demons got an "oh shit!" reaction from me, which I'm sure was your intention.
Also, the Devil's dialogue was pretty funny.

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
I enjoyed the game idea quite a bit. Good job.
