How does you game fit the theme?
You're in the dark, and you're not alone. But your own remnants will be there for you to guide you to the goal.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all the code. (I re-used some of my old code for basic functionality, but all the unique features were made from scratch).
I made all the assets from scratch except the font, which I had already created.

Had my kids play this too :p We loved it. Really nice. Good job!
The mechanic is really interesting, at first i didn't know what was going on but when i got hit it was a pleasant discovery. Some music would be great, but like this gives some kind of mystery vibe. Sometimes i didn't know where to go so i was jumping randomly or waiting to get killed, it would be nice if you could kill yourself at any moment to discover more area in my opinion. Really liked it tho, nice one!
Really cool game! Amazing concept! Good Job! :D
Very cool submission. Not the most innovative concept, but its well rounded. Congrats!
The game is really cool and exciting. It took me a lot of tries to beat levels 3 and 4. I love the visuals. Great job!
Very cool game, awesome idea and graphics, I like it. Evaluate my game too?
Great game! Ngl I felt like my anxiety level was going through the roof trying to avoid all those spinners, especially the first one in Level 4, really hard to avoid that one.
Wow, very well done and absolutely phenomenal idea! Super!
This was such a fantastic idea that was executed well. There seems to be a lot more you could do with this in terms of gameplay and story. Additionally, it is one of the tightest platformers I've played this jam and has a pretty good appearance. The only issue I have with it is that I don't think it makes good use of the theme. Would you be intrested in rating or playing my game? It would really help me ouut, but dont worry if you dont want to, its completely up to you :)
Thank you so much for the feedback!
I reviewed your game last week :)
cool game, the concept was interesting and fun to explore
Really great take on the theme and execution of the concept! I loved how I ended up making my own little collage of colors. Great work!
This was such a clever concept and good execution. I feel like there's a lot more you could do with this, story and gameplay wise. And it looks really nice too and is one of the tightest platformers I've played all jam. I don't think it's a good use of the theme, but that's my one complaint.
This was one of the games that was fun! Good job!
