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).

This is great! I love mechanics where you have to split your attention & movement between two sources in an action setting. Even with a few simple levels, the concept is engaging, and I would love to see the idea expanded upon! I think you've only scratched the surface of all the unique ways you could make enemies target the lantern, or expand on the light mechanic (maybe the knight could be afraid to go too far into the dark despite being invincible).

Very interesting concept! Managing both characters in the later rooms was very challenging - had a good difficulty curve. The 2D lighting was very atmospheric and impressive for a week. The game could absolutely be expanded on beyond the jam! You should be proud.

Great concept. Fun and a lot harder than it should seem.

I would buy this in a heartbeat. This is the coolest game I have played yet!!! I need more levels before I start having withdrawals. I love how you have to put the light in danger in order to kill the enemy. This concept is worthy of an entire game including two sequels and a prequel packed with lore.

nice, really polished and i think you can go even further with the concept of protecting the light

I played this two player with my partner, one as the knight and the other as the light we played through twice to get both experience and was fun throughout, wish there were more levels to try :)

Felt like I was trying to pat my head and rub my stomach at the same time! Truly innovative, I had a lot of fun playing this. Felt easy enough to play yet challenging at the same time. Upgrade both to the light and knight were satisfying as well! Great job

Very original concept, it makes the gameplay really interesting and innovative. I loved the different enemy desings. The artstyle is awesome. I expected the game to be endless and randomly generated for some reason and I was surprised by how quickly I finished the game, I want more!

The game is super fun and well polished, great job! The enemy designs were very interesting, and their attacks were pretty unique.

Awesome game, the mechcanic was really cool! I enjoyed playing it and was fitting for the theme! I do wish the knight could only attack in the light though because it didn't seem I relied on the light much. Just kinda hidden away from the enemies.

Very fun to play, great mechanic and I particularly liked the auto-attack feature, great job :D
