Segments with light spotlight(2nd segment, 4th segment)-good use of spotlight and really adds to the theme
Segments with blackout spotlight(1st segment, 3rd segment)-bad use of spotlight. please stop using this spotlight @all gamemakers
needle is good and the gimmicks are entertaining(if generic). i liked the room in the 3rd segment with the two types of rock button puzzle, should have expanded on that more
it's a 50/50 game honestly, if you're turned off by bad use of spotlight i wouldn't recommend but at least half the game has good spotlight and the needle is solid. Game would be better with just light spotlight

Interesting game. It has 4 stages that are all has spotlight gimmick... but don't press exit button right there! Yeah, spotlight gimmick is obviously not really fun, but in this game it works fine for the most part. Stage 1 is kinda weak, but then game picks up and start to being enjoyable. Stage 2 has really fun design, where you need to find hidden starts through screens, which works great with limited vision. Stage 3 has also interesting gimmick with clearing you path by unlocking special rocks (leaving to some little puzzle element), and it also works great with spotlight. Stage 4 is pretty much just fun cycle platforming, spotlight used here just for atmosphere, and imo atmosphere was neat

Boss after stage 4 is a final one. It's some classic spooky eye, that has set of attacks and classic buffs of them in second half. Mostly enjoyable, although quite disbalanced sometimes, because attacks tends to mixed together and also boss can fly really low above you, which leads to shitty situations. Has also funny second phase. Overall, was kinda fun

Game was pretty fun i'd say. Not peak, but if you wanna spend some good time with classic not hard adventure, might be your choice

Interesting use of spotlight, although the first stage is not welcoming at all because of a couple guess where you have to land kind of jumps.

The rest of the stages had some interesting gimmicks to them and various contrast.
Although the 3rd has a total blackout signature like the 1st stage, the gimmick is used in a clever way to make full use of a few layouts.

4th stage may be a step up in difficulty compared to the rest as well as a couple of screens in 2nd stage.

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.
