Hey!

So I've made a few changes here and there. Like last time, there's a video below for those of you reading from the future. Here's what it boils down to:

- Some players reported that they weren't fully aware of their light running out until it was too late, so I added a bar on the left that represents how much time you have left.
- I added one extra candle per level that restores your light a little bit. I think it's interesting when the player has to decide whether it's worth it to seek the candle or if they'll lose too much time trying to get it. Of course there's times when it's easier to get than others, but I tried at least to make it never generate right in front of the entrance/exit.
- I added spikes! Running into them ends the game, so the player has to be more careful navigating. There's also more traps the further into the game you get, and light diminishes faster. This posed a challenge initially since I had to find a way to never place them in a spot that would make the level un-finishable; I solved this by only placing them in spots where there's already a wall.

With that out of the way, I thought it might be good to introduce myself for those who don't know me. I'm Hatim B, and I'm a Moroccan freelance game developer, currently residing in Abu Dhabi. I'm looking for work right now, so if you think you have any career opportunity for me, feel free to reach me by email! My website is over here if you wanna check out the rest of my work.

Now let me know in the comments if the game is more or less enjoyable for you, and tell me if you have more changes in mind. I'm thinking of adding the Minotaur next :)

Thanks for playing!
