How does you game fit the theme?
You are not alone because you control two characters: A Knight for combat, and a Light for navigation.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote the vast majority of code during the jam, and I made all the art during the jam. Music and sounds are not made by me (but they are all licensed under Creative Commons Zero).
I also used the A* Pathfinding Project by Aron Granberg https://arongranberg.com/astar/

Incredible game! I loved the art, especially the fully rotating player sprite. The walls and enemies were also done very well. The upgrades felt clean and rewarding for the player and trying to constantly manage 2 characters was a fun challenge. It would be nice if the light had more of an effect on the game like doing more damage when closer to it. Overall, I would've loved for there to be more content as it was really fun. Great game!
Amazing submission! I really enjoyed the gameplay, and the idea was wonderfully executed. A friendly light that helps you out while getting lost in the dungeons? That's one awesome concept for a game. The music was also really good! And I loved the varied enemies. Great job!
Great game! It's very well made, i liked the concept
Graphics are really good, all the rooms are well designed and i loved the variety of enemies and upgrades! The music also fit the atmosphere perfectly
Incredible work, keep it up :D
Great game I love the graphics and music! This game conceptually is very similar to my game except in my game, the 'light' protects you!
Such a cool concept, I slightly broke my brain but it was definitely worth it.
looking forward to more of this game 5/5
Amazing game, well done!
Amazing game, I've liked every inch of it. Beautiful and simple pixel art with challenging gameplay, good job!
Awesome game! I was so disappointed to reach the end, but I cannot blame you, that's already a LOT of content =).
I really enjoyed your game: the graphics are really good and the level of polishing is incredible. The different enemies, the upgrades, everything is a work of love, I can feel it. I had a blast playing it, congratulations!
An incredibly fun and consistent entry ! :)
It was a bit easy, but I vastly prefer that over a way too hard game x)
Concept was cool, I really liked having an invincible Knight ! :)
Maybe it could be expanded upon by adding Shadow ennemies that damage the knight but that the light can fade away ?
Overall, a really pleasant experience ! :)
nice work there.

Very well done, enjoyed it would be pretty epic as an endless game with procedural rooms.
That is one cool game, sad it is this short! Clever idea to control with mouse and keyboard as it was a lil hard at the beginning to get used to.
Really good game! I really enjoy the game, in my case I played 2 times to see all the upgrades. Good job!
I love this game. Focusing on walking with character and keeping light alive at same time is really nice mechanic. Also your art is amazing.
Great game! I really enjoyed the mechanics.
Cool game!
I'm not sure why my W didn't work, so I played with the arrows and the mouse which is not optimal but I assume it's an issue on my end?
However the game was fun and I loved the machaincs.
I loved this game! The concept just seems so cool to me! The only thing I would comment on is perhaps the incentive of the knight, because there is the possibility to kill everything with the knight without the light, by just keeping the light where it spawned (and avoiding incoming attacks) to then just randomly walk around with the knight untill the door opens. Maybe add some incentive for the light to enlighten the path of the knight? Small detail on an otherwise amazing game-jam game!
This game is great! I really like the art, it added to the game so well!. Also the gameplay and aestheticwas so cool! If you were to add more to this game or continue development I would recommend adding some differences and vairty to the enimies. Another thing is that the lack of a final battle or even a boss fight in the game and the lack of a climax in the difficulty progression bothered me, but then again, this was made for a game jam. Don't take that in a bad way as it was constructive critsim. A overall good game and great submission. If you have the time would you like to rate and leave some feedback on my game? If not then at least help out some of the people in the "need for rating" category. Its totally up to you and keep up the great game dev
Loved it! Especially the art style. I used pixel art as well.
If you don't mind, could you play and review my game? I need some constructive criticism lol.
