Nice start, a bit janky on the controls but a good start.
Keep at it...

I could not get it to load in my browser, but I might need to try in a different browser. Thank you for sharing your work on this!
And if you haven't had a chance to check out my game Foxy Boom Boxy, I would appreciate any feedback, thanks!
So you have to rocketjump your way to the lanterns if I got it correctly? It's pretty janky as it stands but it reminded me a lot, and I mean a LOT of the old games made by Cactus, future developer of a pretty small game called Hotline Miami, so I definitely appreciate that :D Nice music btw!
Hmm, this was an interesting endless survival shooter. You have to shoot yourself around (and shoot at the enemies, of course) while collecting lanterns and avoiding the enemies and water. For as long as I'm able to do that, it's really cool! However, I seem to consistently encounter an error where I shoot myself up past the ceiling, whereupon I am invincible forever.
I really like the art and the vibe, and the mechanics are cool. Some critical errors just need to be ironed out.
Good work!
Ok for everyone wondering:
Shoot down to boost upwards(dont jump it makes the boost less)
Collect fire stuffs to stop the light from going out
Kill enemies so they dont kill u(might add to your score? didnt check)
Really fun game, id make it a bit easier but i got a bit addicted lol, its a great idea i love it. Gl on the jam!
The game looks and plays mostly well. No idea how to deal with the lava that kills in seconds, so I got a score of nine. Nothing stating how to deal with it. Shooting below gives some air, but then there is the long reloading and it doesn't always work for a boost. It need more platforms to travel up to, since no matter what you are just gonna die. No idea what the lanterns do since they don't get hit by anything. It's a really good base and it's something you should expand upon a it's not finished outside the sound design and the graphics for what is there already. But please expand on it in the future.

You've developed a solid foundation for your game, and I genuinely enjoyed my time playing it. As a suggestion, consider seeking inspiration from a variety of games. Analyze what sets different games apart and gives them a unique identity, then work on refining the visual aspects of your own game. Best of luck moving forward!
What I can get through is really fun! And an amazing effort for your very first game. I kept dying from the rising water and wanted to play more though. Still great entry and excited to see more in the future.
If you have a chance please check out and rate my game as well :)
