Reviews for "BlackLight"

Decent, Uncaptivating Art Game (Sense a Pattern?)

Being an Art Game, there isn't a great deal of game depth but "BlackLight" is a charming experience for the scant twenty minutes of play. It is also a production of a Newgrounds Game Jam, in this case the cap on frames-per-second was set to 12.

You start as an infant, then, a young boy, then a teenager and finally a young adult. While you go around the place, you can click on stuff and things happen. Look carefully. Once you figure it all out, though, things get pretty bland. If there were good things to point out, the art direction and use of a Newgrounds-borne soundtrack are perhaps the key elements of note. Some of the tracks induce yawns more than anything; they're soothing melodies for bedtime, or after sex when you're cuddling with your lover (assuming you guys even do that or have lovers in the first place!), but not the best thing to hear in a video game, especially a platform hopper that does require a sharp sense of timing at crucial moments.

Anyway, congratulations to the participants for a workable, bug-free Art Game. As for "BlackLight", it's nice... nice... not thrilling, but nice.

I have mental problems! but thanks for the review or whatever this is.

BlackLight

When you first play Blacklight you cant help but think your playing a spinoff of the popular arcade game for Xbox named Limbo. This game heavenly reminds me of it just by the artwork. There's no real story to the game,You go threw 3 levels to find the one you love. The game is quite short and kind of begs you for at least a few more levels to make this game more enjoyable. 6/10 3/5.

CloudEater responds:

She's not the one you love, the character was just hungry after growing up so much.

It's okay.

The game needs more then just three levels. To add to that the challenges aren't actually challenging, you just flip a switch or jump and the animations could have been a bit smoother. I think this game has a lot of potential and you guys should try remaking it, I like the fact that it's a lot like limbo on Xbox.

CloudEater responds:

Flipping switches is hard for some people!! >:C

Nice but short

I like the design. But it is too short, animation is glitchy and controls are buggy.

This is a nice game. I know it was made quickly for Game Jam. It is a short game and the movement is slow. The medal does not work. Will there be a sequel?
