Guiding Light is a maze game that uses the mouse. The light provides you feedback which you can use to navigate the maze and reach the goal.
There are 5 stages.
== Update ==
Made builds for Mac and Windows. Let me know if the windows version isn't working. I had to do the build on a Mac so I couldn't test it out.

I guess that would count as a port :)
You're mood score would've been higher had there been music and sound effects. Take a look at abundant-music.org and consider hitting random things in front of a microphone for sound effects.
My arm hurts now after having had to use the mouse so carefully, I made it to level 4 before I had to stop. I must admit, I'm a sucker to the text that appears. Maybe you could add some motivational text after every level is completed?
Overall a good entry, but it would be nicer if you could in some way make the mouse less sensitive ;).
Interesting game! I wish the corridors were a bit wider, and a little atmospheric music would've made it pretty amazing.
Cool idea. Took a while to figure out how it worked since it would have made more sense if the light hit the walls and stopped, so the instructions could be better. But overall i liked it :)
I found a cheat.. not sure how tho... maybe I spammed 'D' :D http://i.imgur.com/e9fRE9P.png anyway, nice game :P
The first time I won instinctively, then I understood what was happening. Quite a nice game !
i like your idea :)
sometimes the feedback of the light was slow to appear and i collided with the walls even tho i thought nothing was there
some ambient audio would improve greatly the mood of the game :) nice job!

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. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
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.
