I liked the linked attack and health resources. Collisions sometimes are buggy, I got inside the walls at some point.

Really neat idea and pretty fun to play! I found the jumping to be a bit wonky, and as the person below said, I did get confused thinking I could jump on the bats to ride them up. Overall really cool and well done though!

Am I supposed to be able to ride the bats? It was quite fun, but as mentioned this isn't quite 1 bit due to the lighting.

Yes, it's not intentional but i like it and give more options to jump or go fast to the end.

I loved the concept and idea of what u did here!

I managed to finish the first level, where is the health taken down indicator?  i saw you wrote the candle but it never changed and i never died.

The jump is a bit clunky it took me a while to get up there, and i think people will take down score for it not being 1bit (there's a gradient on the main player + the light is white), i didn't though .


Good job on creating this within 7 days, its not easy implementing that candle mechanic!

Thanks for the feedback! The health indicator is the height of the candle that decrease with time or when increase the light using key "E", i think i spent too much time on the candle mechanic and i forget to choose better values for the value of decrease of the health to increase the difficulty. The gradient is because of the light of the engine and didn't found a way to fix this behaviour :(.

Its all good mate, for a game created in 7 days its pretty damn good!

Get another week into it, fix bugs, add more indicators and play with juicing it up , there's a lot of potential here!!!
