Okay wow, the animation and style of this game is off the damn charts. The little opening movie, the game-over screen the character and enemy animations are all brilliant and the lighting effects are just the cherry on top.

I loved running around the little arena, the enemies weren't that much of a hassle honestly I'm more of my own worst enemy constantly killing myself with my own light is a really interesting balancing mechanic for sure.

The perks/cards are honestly really brutal and game changing it would have been nice to have some that weren't so severe or such extreme positive/negatives so I could improve myself without feeling like I was totally crippling myself in other ways.

The game is really well polished and fun and the little dude is super cute.

Very interesting take on the survivor!  Art was really good and the mechanic of dodging your own attacks got me killed a few times.

Great game!

I loved it! And you did it by yourself? Damn, art and music are on point. Loved all the effects and lightning in the game.
