This is a solid little puzzle platformer that is hampered by the fact that it is so dark and you can't actively control your main light source. There's a couple of ways you could approach that, adding more ambient light sources, increase the size of the soul's or the player's light, provide a way to control the soul and tell it where to go, or have the soul follow more closely to the player. That aside, it's a cute game and a solid concept. Good job!

That's a HUGE Pizza!I think you nailed the art and sound design! Like other said some more mechanics would've been nice, though that said I think it already works as a more atmospheric experience. One thing I would've liked is being able to move the spirit around so you can look around more easily.

SonderThis has the makings of a puzzle game, but is sadly closer to a walking sim. There is very little deduction on the players part you just wander aimlessly till you find the key, switch, door, etc. It requires very little thought on the players part which makes it a slog. Particularly because growing small makes you slower.
That said the growing, shrinking, and light mechanics have the makings of a good puzzle game. The game just needs more mechanics for the players to interact with to build engaging puzzles.
Yes, I agree with you, the game was conceived as a puzzle, but in fact you just need to find everything to open the door, you don’t have to think too much. The idea simply did not have time to be fully implemented, but at least it was possible to show the existing mechanics. Thanks for your feedback! You need to pay attention to the disadvantages of the game so that they don’t happen later!
