Great game, well done. The slope for the decelaration might be a little bit to slow in my opinion, it feels like you are on ice. Nice job otherwise !

Developer

Thank you soo much for your feedback! Its true though, I didn't really take much time for the player's movement... I should have made more reliable. Thank you again

It feels like a fresh concept for a platformer and the clean visuals mesh really well with spooky sound design. Well done! ^^

Developer(+1)

Thank you sooo much for your feedback! I apreciate it a lot! ;=)

Submitted

Cool idea! The level design is also well made since it doesn't start super easy or super hard and gradually increases the difficulty.

I managed to turn on two lights in the first level, I don't know if that was intentional?

Overall very good! Best of luck with the jam

No its  abug that happens if you change light when its flickering sometimes.. Thank soo much for playing and your feedback!

Submitted

Nice idea. Unfortunately, the double jump did not always register correctly for me. Also many times i jumped into a white/green light and it turned to the wrong color at the wrong time :(

Also since you're using unity, consider releasing a browserplayable version. For lazy people like me, playing in the browser is more comfortable^^

Developer

Yeah! I planned to do that, but as you can see over the game name, I submitted the game 3 minutes before the deadline... Thank you soo much for playing and your feedback. I'll try to improve it after the jam!

I liked a lot the idea of just one light and how it changes the mechanics in the game! The green lights and their shadows were my favorite part. The jump and the double jump felt a bit off at times but all things considered this game looks really promising.

Cool gaame! enjoyed it a lot ^-^

I love it. I haven't seen this concept before. The start sound is a bit to loud but still an awesome game

Submitted(+1)

Great game! The minimalist look is real nice, and clearly communicates necessary info. I will say the flickering lights is pretty annoying, especially when you gotta switch rapidly/frequently between lights.

Really cool concept with great level design! I can easily see Mark Brown talking about this in one of his videos. My only complaint is that the flickering lights was a bit frustrating since I couldn't figure out the timing of it.

Developer

Yes! Thank you for your feedback! The flickering was a terrible idea ^^

Submitted(+1)

The flickering lights looked good and with some more predictable timing, I'm sure it could add some fun difficulty!

Developer

Yeah! Because right now the intervals between are chosen randomly... Thank you fo your feedback

Really like minimalistic aestethics and level design. Definitely worth checking out! 

Submitted(+1)

This game is really great, I like the original take on the theme. The level design and placement of the lights is on point, and the inclusion of green lights a few levels in really changed up the gameplay and kept it fresh.

Developer

Thank you sooo much for your feedback! Apreciate it!

Engrossing...!! Great minimalistic game 

Submitted

Innovative gameplay, I love how you make the abyss from blackout. Quite difficult for me, but my friend who loves platformer enjoys it a lot!

Maybe it's better if the color of blackout as well as the platform is different so that we can really tell whether it's path or abyss :)

Submitted

Very polished platformer. I had fun playing it! Thank you for the game!

Developer

Thank YOU for playing!!!

Submitted(+1)

A really cool idea! I will play some more before I rate.

Submitted

I like what you did with the player making it feel alive, juiciness is everything!

Also nice work with the trailer, I would suggest looking at even more shapes for the shadows!

Developer(+1)

That IS a very cool idea, other shapes as shadows... I got so many ideas for puzzles right now. Thank sooo musch for playing!

Atmosphere in this game is wonderful. Great executed idea with one light.I really like the atmosphere of this game, I think it's the best part of this game.

Good concept. The character controls are a bit loose for my taste (too much inertia) and it might have been better to cycle through the lights with a key press so you don't have to take your hand off the keyboard to use the mouse. But it is a good idea with lots of design space and room for improvement!
