Hi,

 nice game, played and rated.

Please feel free to try out my game and rate it here:  https://itch.io/jam/cgj/rate/474542

Many thanks,

Really interesting concept, but rough execution.

• Great how the light reveals the truth of were the platforms are.
• For the most part nice art and animations.
• When you die you're reset all the way to the start of the game.
• It's difficult to light the lanterns; you have to be very precise. It also doesn't work with space.
• Really repetitive 'music', though I wouldn't even call it music.
• Instant game over screen. No 0.5 sec or 1 sec delay to let me see what happened.
• Web error about memory access being out of bounds, right with the first lantern in the game and also at the start of the second level. I played the game in Chrome on Windows.
• Confusing level design. In the picture below you're supposed to go up and backwards.

I can confirm - it works in Chrome, doesn't crash. For me the jump animation got stuck, and after that the character could no longer jump.

Checkpoints would be good in this kind of game.

But still, it's a nice submission, pixelart looks really great.

Kept crashing on me too after just seconds of playing. Unfortunate, because the game looks great and something I would like to give more time and a good rating.

So, pretty often i got crashes due to memory. I believe the was an option in Unity that let you increase the cap or whatever it was to prevent such things from happening. 

Loved the art and SFX! Great job overall!

Experienced two crashes when lighting up the first lamp and immediately jumping. No idea whether those are the steps to repro, but after I did it twice I decided not to try again, and I simply finished the first level without the light.

Your game commits the cardinal sin of restarting when you die. You should restart from the level you died in. I don't want to have to replay level I already know how to play, get bored in the process, just so I can get another crack a difficult jump, or otherwise progressing. Terrible idea.

Graphics: I liked the character pose and animation. Very Dick Van Dyke like. Charming. The graphics are consistent, when it comes to character, FG and BG. They are all pixel art. However, the light beams are a completely different technology and have a different visual style. The two styles clash.

Audio: The jump SFX sounded like a small click. The music sounded very odd. Like a kick percussion going on forever, and a tiny riff on it for like a few bars. The rest was the kick thing.

I wasn't able to experience how the game is a lie by level 3, which is where I jumped ship, because of the restart problem I discussed before.

Especially for game jams, you want a game where most or all of the content is readily available. Insta-restart is a big no no.

Charming artwork!  Fitting sounds.  I love the idea of this - simply lighting lamps as a lamp lighter.  I wanted to play further on but I kept running into a java error (I'm on macOS in the Safari browser so that's probably it).  Otherwise nice entry!

I really liked the mechanics and the game design! The use of light as a tool was awesome! Plus, the art was top notch!

Really good game, it is a little bit slow when attacks but it's a great idea to develop.

Awesome graphics! The main mechanic about lighting your surounding to uncover platforms is pretty clever. I found the attack to be a bit unresponsive as it is quite slow to start. And I would have loved to be able to jump and attack at the same time. Overall great entry :)
