Here is its eulogy, a collection of the kind words written about it while still among the living. They shall live on forever in its place.

There is only one level but it is VERY challenging.. Goodluck!

In a level of darkness you have the power to control the only light source. Toggle the light to be on you or your enemies. Both has it's advantages. With the light on them only.. They have a hard time seeing you. Having the light on you only.. Allows you to watch for deadly traps in front of you. At the same time this leaves you vulnerable for attacks, and these guys don't miss often. Toggle the light at the right time to catch targets off guard while watching your step at the same time! Try to make it to the top of the level to take out their leader as each enemy gets a bit tougher.

It's impossible to progress because of the one-hit kills and respawning enemies. I also can't toggle the light because I have no right click.

Great concept! My only real "grief" with the game is that the one level is too short - and not all THAT challenging actually, assuming you actively do switch the light where needed. (I've died thrice trying to go without switching lights, and a 4th time with switching. Whole game took less than 10 minutes to complete. Just to those screaming difficulty. I'm by no means a platformer pro either... ;P)
Anyways, I sure hope you decide to build on what you've shown us with multiple levels, more traps and level layouts (traps + enemies) that are tricky enough to require you to move in the dark a bit more than you do now.
The music is in no way stolen as it's licensed "CC-by", but however goes along nicely with the 8bit graphics.

All in all an awesome game, rated 4 stars only because I find it too short. :D

It's a good concept. I like the mechanic of switching between having the light be on your enemies for stealth and having the light be on you and your spotlight to see where you're going. That said, it needs save points or something like that. The level is too long and too tricky to expect players to complete it in one sitting without a *lot* of replaying the same parts over and over again. I got tired of it and quit.

It's all right, but if you click the right mouse button really fast, there really isn't any drawback. Also, isn't this music stolen from Reprisal?

As many before me have stated... improve the kill/death hits to be more reasonable (3 to 1 isn't very good especially if you have multiple enemies to kill), and enable healing with "hearts" or something, as well as enable sneak kills (enemies shouldn't insta spot - and usually 1 hit kill - you if approached/shot from behind), another point is checkpoints or breaking the game into levels that save your progress... Perhaps add a hard mode (no checkpoints), and nightmare mode (1 hp and maybe no "hearts" to collect that could increase it)
