it was fun. it was also quite difficult though.
Oops. Sorry that you found it hard, I do think the run speed is a little slow. Anyway, a lot of people have seemed to really like Home Before Dark, and I was so excited by the attention that I made a making of video documenting the process of development. Sub to my channel if you're interested in game dev content! This is my first video, and your support would mean a lot. <3
I love how you use light v. dark in your game. I didn't realize that dark witches could also attack you until one did. It really helped emphasize the don't trust anyone concept.
Thanks! I liked Slimes n Spikes too, especially the cute slime sprite.

This is such a cool concept
Thanks! I'll check out your game, too.

Wow! This is really good, especially the soundtrack!
Sad, the soundtrack is one of the parts of this game for which I can't take credit. Thanks for the comment!
Np, the rest of the game is still really good too!
I'm glad you liked it! The concept was all mine, so I take some credit :). If you want to see how the game was made, please watch the making of video that I made for it, and sub to my channel if you're interested in game dev content! This is my first video, and your support would mean a lot. <3
Really awesome game!Really nothing else to say :P
The game mechanics are simple and easy to learn. The pixel art is very nicely done, and the mucis fits perfectly.
Really just an overall amazing game!
THANK YOU! Give me some time, and I'll look at your game, too. That means a lot.
Your welcome, there was really nothing not like about your game :P
I really hope you like my game aswell :D

I will give it a look :D
Great submission! The mechanics are simple but very fun, and the platforming is very well executed with both coyote time and jump buffering. The music was nice , but a little loud when compared to the sound efffects.
No lie, I don't actually have coyote time. BUT if it effectively feels like it then I'm gonna call that a win. Game dev meets Machiavelli. Thanks for the insightful feedback :)
Really? I even double checked! Consider me fooled hahaha.
Haha. Escort Quest has me worried about the results... but I'd be happy to lose it it, honestly. Such a masterpiece.

Cool, I'll take a look!
Thanks so much! I'm pretty small now, so I think every little sub will help my algorithm a lot. Please consider subbing, if nothing else to give me that boost :p
Nice game and idea- my idea wasnt so good and it wasnt very well executed either- I think its going to get alot of hate due to its difficulty
Aw, sorry to hear that :( Thank you for the nice comment, though, and I'll check out your game soon!

Very well made! Everything did fit together pretty good. Even thought the terrain was very confusing sometimes it was fun to play.
Thanks! Yeah, level design isn't my strong suit, but maybe I'll fix up the confusing-ness if I pursue this further. Thanks for playing :)
I think u was the guy who hit my empty page without a game uploaded. Now its there:)
Ah , okay! I'll look when I have a chance. Thanks for the heads up.
Really nice game! I really liked the art as well as the background music.
Thanks! Did that thing happen where if you haven't submitted your rating, the comment posts twice? It's happened to me, haha.

Good game, nice looking and great music.
Thanks :)
Also I think I just accidentally deleted your comment, because it was coming up 4 times. My mistake! Thanks though it was nicely positive.
Oof, yeah it wasn't going through and then it went through four times, and I deleted three but I guess we crossed paths. Oops :p
Yes we crossed paths, but I am sure we shall meet AGAIN!
If you want to, just leave an egg pun in the comments.
