Very cool! The graphics and art design are really impressive in general and especially for a 48 hour game! Very cool interpretation of the theme! I agree a tutorial would have been helpful but I also just enjoyed messing around to figure it out! Great work!

Took a hot minute or three just falling off cliffs and not getting what i should do with the lantern and the "trees", perhaps add some kind of tutorial as the previous commenter said. There's also a small bug where you can rise up with the "filled lantern goal" thingy's hitbox and thus just fly towards the other goal. Otherwise it's a neat game with a nice atmosphere. Good job!

Volatile VighterThis game looks great! I love the look and feel of the game. The concept is fairly unique and I enjoyed playing it. Great job!

AMB1 and D3X-TRI think I get where you were going with this, and if you decide to further develop, having some sort of tutorial could help the player understand what to do in order to win (I did finish the level though!). Love the aesthetics, it felt really polished in terms of movement & mechanic. At one point I managed to get on top of the orange lantern, and then I could just walk in the air, even off of the platforms.
Congrats on making a game! If you could rate ours as well that'd be swell. (:

Sync-De-SyncThis game has alot of potential! I already like the graphics and gameplay mechanic, it's truly frustrating that ther is only one level

Beams and BiomesWould have been great to have a bit more content, also I'm not sure if I broke the game because at some point I was floating through the air after walking on the right lantern, but definitely interested to see more of it! Good job on this in this short period of time!

Defying InstinctsVisuals are great ! I like the character and the fact that you move lanterns around.
For the gameplay, I'm not sure I understood. The goal is to enlight all the trees am I right ?
For me even will all tree on it wasn't telling me the level was finished.

SPACELINKSThank you! <3 yeah, the gameplay is too tricky and overcomplicated :D To finish the level you need to place blue lantern in blue spot at the top of the level and an orange lantern at the other part of the level. The thing is - you need to light the orange lanterns for the orange guy to be able to walk (it 'builds' a new part of level for him) and blue lanterns to build level for blue guy. Blue guy has a orange lantern and orange guy has a blue lantern.
But, as I said, it's really overcomplicated, we thought it was a fun idea and then it was too late to change it, so we went for it :D
I was for sure confused by the gameplay at first, however the visuals and overall ambience is really striking! Would love to see this concept refined and tweaked, but this is a great starting point.

Orbital VortexKind of an interesting idea! I didn't really understand which blocks were "lit" or not. I just kinda hit the white lines and then pressed space and tried to see if anything happened. Looks good though!
