A short adventure game focused on the spotlight gimmick, and searching around in dark areas. Contrary to Whalington, I enjoyed all uses of the spotlight except during the first stage. The third stage used it quite well, actually, and didn't abuse the lack of sight to instagib the player. Instead it focused on strategic use environmental triggers to manipulate your path to the end of the room.
I found the majority of the game to be enjoyable.

However, Sheep thwarted himself by putting evidently very little thought into the boss design. The boss has four of the most irritating (and sometimes undodgable) attacks when combined. On top of this, Sheep didn't think to put a save point right before the boss (forcing the player to run back to the boss each time), nor did he think to give the player a way to skip the cutscene (cutscene of essentially nothing). Because of this, the game won't leave particularly endearing memories for me.
However, I still recommend it as a fun puzzle/platformer.

+Clever use of spotlight gimmick
+Good visual and sound choices

-Boss is badly designed. Almost as if it were never playtested.
-Some of the moving platform cycles were kind of irritating, in the same vain as having to walk back to the boss. No one likes waiting every time they die.

Enjoyable and short adventure-type game. Some segments were a little lazy and were a little unevenly balanced, but it was still fun. The first (and only) boss was annoying, but not bad by any means. Would recommend it
