GREAT atmosphere! You really nailed the creepy hostile world vibe. The pixel art looks great combined with the lighting effects. The music and sfx create a really creepy ambience. Jetpacking around is fun and I like how there's technique to shooting your projectile. I was a little unclear on how to restore the light resource. I was collecting these orbs that gravitated towards me but they didn't seem to be recharging my light resource. I also found torches that would teleport me to different areas. Eventually I got stuck in an area where there was an inaccessible torch. It's a shame because I wanted to keep exploring the world. Very solid entry!
