It looks really nice. But one moment I fall to the hole and never get out.

How does your game fit the theme?
I use the environment to portray darkness and the player character will represent the light.

Nice idea with the platformer. ZERO UI is fully implemented. I think the game would be better if the light above the player was somehow used in the gameplay. Good luck!
SIDE NOTE:
i've noticed that many games include gameplay instructions in the text below the web player or the download link. (yours is actually quite reasonable compared to others that literally describe the controls and objective). i feel like maybe this goes against the spirit of zero UI. it's just my opinion though; i'm not sure how the judges will view that. (just to be clear, my game totally breaks the zero UI restriction. I've got instructions and menus littered throughout my game. i pretty much gave up on having no UI, so I appreciate games like yours that attempt to follow the theme.)
i didn't play for very long; sometimes it felt more like a maze than a traditional platformer. i don't mind that, but i imagine it could get frustrating trying to find the path, especially because the radius of the light is quite small. it was also a bit hard to see the hazards. that said, it's a cool idea that uses the dark/light theme very well.
Cute little game! Cute character. As some already stated visuals could be more clear. That would help in the gameplay also. Fun little levels. Some sounds maybe a bit too loud. Got to the boulders and died a lot there. Maybe some waypoints if you get far you will start there again.
Well done for a game jam entry!
Good game! Nice art work and sound effects.
I wish the art was a bit clearer.
Congratulation on submitting your game! You game has nice level design and the movement felt good.
I couldn't get past the part where the boulder spawns, at the end of the slope there are only other boulders so I always die.
Also some more visual contrast would help, especially the spikes are hard to notice (perhaps due to non HD mode?)
your pixel art sprites is billienier, you need to switch to pointer in unity settings, they will look much better, sound of jump is too loud for me, but game is ok!
the game feels somewhat blury. it can be fixed by disabling compression and setting up pixel perfect camera in urp
The art is very blurry, but playing the game was still pretty decent. I just think that the theme was not used in a proper way. Overall (not counting the blurry graphics) it's pretty decent!
Even tho visuals were not that HD, it is cute, unique. Cuteness is actually what makes fun to play! With such less amount of audios used, it is awesome to give the feeling of cuteness. Level Design is great. Even though the theme doesn't match much, there are places where it does match. The enemies could be better. My overall rate is cute!
