Hey all!

We developed Through The Darknesss for the HPS1 jam, So the first few versions were a bit rushed and unpolished. But over the last days I've added a lot more polish and fixed a lot of bugs.

We've heard a lot of remarks saying that the game is too hard. In fact our artist, who designed the layout of the levels  couldn't get past level 5 ( out of 10). And when i got my mom to play test it she couldn't get past the first level!

Considering this, I've Increased the radius of the light from the lamp and made it so that when the player is detected by the ghost there is a pause of 0.3 seconds. 

This should give the player enough reaction time to get away and escape from the ghost. 

Other than this, I've JUICED UP the game a bit more, more particle effects and screen shake.

Other updates include fixing a bunch of bugs throughout the game.

Next update (coming soon) - Fix audio issues

Please play the game, We worked really hard on it! And let us know what you think.
