I love the art! It really drew me in to this game! I think the interpretation of the theme is creative too! Great job!

Needs `chmod -R +x /Users/angela/Downloads/DarkerSideMacBuild.app` to be executed for Mac, else I get the classic Unity Mac 'cant be opened' error

I like the art and the physics felt nice, and I think the mechanic is really interesting! maybe one suggestion i have is to have a more gradual difficulty curve, making the 1st level beatable in within a few minutes, i think super meat boy is a great example of a game with a good difficulty progression. Also on the 2nd level when I walked to the left my player character just dropped off the face of the earth lol. but it's a very fun twist on platforming and i feel quite clever whenever i finish a level! :3
