The only thing I don’t like is I keep getting killed by bats ### 4/5 — Needs more improvement *2020-09-13* The game is pretty good but it can be hard to control when your moving the torch. I love the art style, it kinda reminds me of ‘dont starve together’ but it’s still good ! ### 4/5 — Cute *2016-06-14* It's very Tim Burton like and I enjoyed it a lot. The only issue I have is that the controls are a bit funky. What I mean is it was hard to get the torch exactly where it's needed to be. Overall though cute game, I really enjoy it. :) ### 5/5 — Excellent *2016-02-29* Cool and fun. What u need to relax! ### 5/5 — Cinq étoiles *2016-02-25* Jeu prenants avec des graphismes magnifiques. Les commandes sont ludiques et le jeu nous rends très vite accro. A conseiller ### 5/5 — Un début prometteur *2016-02-18* Une bêta d'un runner sympa, assez difficile, mais au graphisme attirant (on sent la touche Burton). Gratuit et sans pub, ça change! Par contre, sur iPad, le jeu semble trop zoomé par rapport aux screenshots : on ne voit pas les ennemis arriver par derrière... ### 5/5 — Très sympa ! *2016-02-09* Jeux à conseiller ## Frequently asked questions about Light My Fear ### What is Light My Fear?
