It's all right. Not really that good, but not terrible. It starts out fine enough, and has a very nice art style and aesthetic. But as you progress, the polish starts to wear off. Areas become shorter, less interesting. Enemies become tedious bullet sponges, not really challenges but more like annoyances.
But, I still give it a thumbs up because it's short and sweet. Give it a look if you're so inclined.

The cute characters and scary enemies juxtapose the concepts of light and darkness very well. Player movement also feels good.

Had a ton blast of fun playing Mislight! I was really drawn by the challenge and the overall setting, music, colors and mechanics of the game. Would only suggest to keep an eye on the tiles, sometimes they are difficult to read.
P.D. I HATE HATE HATE THOSE SQUIRRELS!!!

i really didnt want to refund this game and i wanted to play it through but i got stuck in the second area and couldn't find any guides or walkthroughs, only the demo version is covered, im all with amateur indie game devs but if there is going to be flying enemies i should be able to rotate my flashlight, the combat feels insanely rigid :/

Love this indie bullet hell. but admittedly I am very rusty in these genres. It's a good game where you fight off enemies with the power of the light.. the flashlight!
-shines flashlight in your eyes- now you're blind. hahahahaha.
This game may take some patience tho. as some attacks may have you saying.. bullshit! but that might just be me and my rust. Power ups will be unlockable in time as you collect a thon the hell out of the loot and use the booty for upgrades.
It's very a old school retro feel. that's sidescrollers at their best for yah.

This game isn't awful, but it feels amateurish. For the most part, it works and I did have fun, but it does a lot of things that make it hard to recommend.
This game is structured like a metroidvania, 5 interconnected areas with powerups to find. However, the first two areas looked so similar, I couldn't tell if they were the same area or not. Everything was so similar, it became hard to find out where to go next. So I only got one powerup, a charged flashshot, before I decided I had enough.
Also, minor things I want to say.
-The only music in the game was the title and the shop music (which I admit, I really liked the shop music). However, the music on the map is white noise I didn't care for. So I'm prepared to say this game has 2 songs.
- The game states that it's best to play with a controller and then teaches you to play with keyboard and mouse. I don't get it.
- I couldn't the outfits in the shops. The space button wouldn't work. So it's bugged or I couldn't figure out how to buy it.
