How does you game fit the theme?
Traverse the abysmal darkness with a gear that will never leave your side. You're not alone in the darkness. There's something sucking the life force from Thomas.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes

This game has a beautiful aesthetic and it is cool that it has randomly generated levels. I do have a few suggestions:
There also seemed to be something off with the ground detection. I often found I couldn't jump, even though I pressed the right button. Walking for a bit usually solved it.
In conclusion, great work on the appearence, random generation and platform movement style, but consider my suggestions for any future updates! :)
Thanks for such a detailed response! I will definitely take into consideration the suggestions you mentioned. I myself began noticing the flaw in game design where in sometimes you couldn't see spikes and would die instantly. I'm considering adding a bit of a red glow to them that becomes stronger when you become closer so that perhaps you have time to react. A new death system would most likely be of benefit as well. As for the darkness, it's a feature I've been debating with myself for a while, so I'll think about it a bit more. And as for the jump glitch, will definitely check that out. Thanks for playing Spark!
Looks interesting:) But not clearly understandable what to do, plus - if u add music and sounds to that game, that becomes even more atmosphere:^)
