I found the gemstone! Nice game, loved the pixel art in it, with some simple but well executed mechanics. Missed some sounds on catching and using items, or for the lever at the beggining. Nonetheless, well done!

it's really good, once I managed to get out of the starting area ^^ I really liked the diversity of the tiles, I wanted to continue exploring to see what's in the cave
Perfect submission. It fits the theme really well. And the art style is also good. The lack of music doesn't bother me. Top ten in my book.
I really like the mechanic of hiding the light you use in the beginning, I wish it was used more in the game. The ambience is a nice touch, but it's missing sound effects.
I liked the sprites. Having the campsites and boxes helps to make the game feel less empty.
Played this for quite some time, interesting puzzle game u have made. Great take on the theme. I got lost quite a lot in the caves. The sounds really help emerge you in the cave dwelling.
A nice puzzle system that could make for some super cool puzzles if expanded into a full game!
I did really like the mechanic once I understood it. I think it's just hard with jams because you have so little time to get the player up to speed. Unlike a regular game, where they are a lot more invested from the get go. Maybe having one of the signs near the X explain it? But then you run into the other problem, players don't read. :D
I loved the adventure! The item system was simple in a vary spacial way. It's hard to describe, but it is just fun.
