The fine folks at JayIsGames highlighted a particularly amazing entry named Beacon, by a user named ChevyRay. It's a small, free, downloadable platformer. You play a small man who has fallen into a cave, with no light to guide him out. As he hears the creatures of darkness close in for the kill, a strange orb of light appears, and begins to guide him through the blackness. The gameplay is exquisitely paced, wonderful at evoking emotion, and has an ending worth waiting for. I highly recommend you play this great little game. Beacon [Ludum Dare] [via: JayIsGames]... Sgt.
