REVIEWS
Featured on the IndieGames blog.
Featured on episode 52 of ByteJacker.
"I love the sense of hope that the beacon brings, and the silence and loneliness if you miss it."
"I literally clapped at the end. Really, really good. The difficulty was perfect for me - just as an area started to get frustrating, I'd beat it. Really enjoyed the experience, thanks!"
"Brilliant. Its really worth the ending. Just brilliant. A real piece of art."
"Wow. This game is pretty amazing under any circumstance. The fact that it was done in a mere 48 hours quite literally blows my mind. [...] The premise is simple: Follow the beacon of light and stay away from the darkness. It starts off as a deceptively easy platformer that quickly turns into a real nail-biter. Also, the ending is terrifically cruel. I can’t believe the polish on the presentation and controls… AND there’s a good story? Man, what a winner!"
