very cool and polished game.  the audio is great and the 8-bit graphics look fantastic.  i really liked following that little spirit around - it got pretty challenging pretty quickly!  very nice work

Nice little platformer game :-)!
Pixel art style was good and also the background track was fitting.
Fun levels. Maybe some extra indicator when you are about to be in the dark and die would smooth out the controls even more.
Well done :-)!

Love the visual and sounds!

Overall a great game with nice level designs. Maybe the sound and music can be improved a bit but overall a nice implementation of the theme.

Nice game, great idea!

The game has a nice idea and good art, but I think I would've liked better sound design(for example, if you're almost in a shadow, or moving sound, etc...). But the level design was pretty nice, all in all a good job!

Thank you for checking it out, and I agree with you! That's just where I was with 1 minute before the deadline :) But you are definitely right

Nice concept! Great art

Looks and sounds nice. The only problem i have is its not very explicit when you are in light. Very good for a week.
