Well crafted game! The progression of introducing new mechanics to the player was well thought out, the traps all looked and worked really cool and the overall follow the light concept is quite unique. 

Developer

Thanks for playing and for providing feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

Interesting use of the theme .

So much fun! I died 6 times and played 13mins 48secs. Loved the puzzles. The premise was simple, yet engaging and the mechanics were well implemented.

I only ran into one bug. On one of the levels the box went through the wall and I couldn't get it, but I was able to die and reset to fix it.

Overall, great job!

Developer

13 minutes is the lowest time reported so far I think, so congrats :) Although you killed him 6 times you murderer!! Lol

Jokes aside, thank you so much for playing and for the feedback. I really appreciate it :)

Ah I was worried a bug like that would happen. I didn’t have a lot of time to work on the boxes so they can be temperamental. Glad is wasn’t game breaking. You can reset the level in the pause menu also (M on web build or Esc on Windows build).

This game is very cute and silly, I love it :) The sounds are also great, not really sure how to describe them but it's like they're out of a cartoon. It fits great. You did a lot with creating atmosphere with the darkness and light, but I think that there is still a lot of untapped potential there, in terms of adding ambience, etc.

Developer

Thanks for playing and for the awesome feedback! :)

Most of the sounds are from a humble bundle sound pack I bought a while back, but the sound of him dying is my voice with some EQ in Audacity lol

I agree there is some untapped potential here. I think the idea is very unique and there’s a ton of directions I could take this concept.

Submitted

Cool game! Just like the last comment said I was freaked out when I saw the spinning blades because I didn't want my little baby bird to die haha

Developer

Haha comments like this make me proud. The game’s main focus was about the bird’s connection to the light, but I didn’t expect so many people to create such a strong connection to him in return.

Hopefully he didn’t die all too often.

Thank you for playing and for giving feedback :)

First off I absolutely love how cute this is. I got very scared the first time I saw the traps and I freaked out.  I was like " NO HES TOO ADORABLE FOR THSI DISASTER". Anyways, I really liked the mechanic and kind of just figuring stuff out like the torches, I didn't feel hand held and was allowed to learn the game through trying stuff. The sound effect of winning the game really did bring a smile on my face the every time I heard it. This was excellent and I love the duck now.

Developer(+1)

Haha I gave you two levels of peace before stressing you out lol

I’m glad you didn’t feel hand held. I put a lot of thought into how I can give subtle hints, and let the player figure it out in their own.

Thank you so much for playing and for the great feedback! :)

Submitted

Nice game each chapter has new challenge I like it and im very happy for saving that lil chick 🐤

Good work ^^

Developer

Thanks for playing :) I hope the little guy didn’t die too much, he takes the term “blind faith” a little too literally lol

Submitted

Wow really nice, i liked a lot, the musics and sounds are great and the puzzles are really good

Made it to the end! Great game length for this. You do a great job teaching the player how to play the game. After figuring it out, I enjoyed that bit about the last level lol

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing and for wonderful feedback :D

I put a lot of thought into how to introduce the mechanics without completely explaining what to do. It feels so much more satisfying if the player works it out themselves.

I’m glad my style worked for you :) and congrats on completing it!

Submitted

I needed 16min and 16 lives. I dont count but I lost maybe 10 lives in the last level before i figured out a little trick.  It is really funny

Developer

The last level is a tricky puzzle. Good job on solving it :)

Thanks for playing, I really appreciate it!

I enjoyed the uniqueness of this game, loved everything about it except pushing boxes

Developer

Thanks for playing! Yea the boxes can be a little hard to work with, with more time I would have loved to sort them out. I hope they didn’t affect your experience too much.

Submitted

A new gem for my collection, love it!

Developer

Oh wow! I’m glad you enjoyed it :) thanks for playing! :)

Submitted

Really cool and different kind of game. Played right up to the end


Developer

Thanks for playing and for the feedback :) Glad to see you made it to the end!

Submitted

This was a really good one. I loved the challenge of figuring things out for myself. Good one!

Really loved the atmosphere and the art style. The music has variety and I like that. Lighting up torches was a nice touch. I wish you've used the light bulb mechanic more though. I think that the box and pressure plate was difficult to identify at first though, that they actually have unique mechanics. So, I think you can make them look more unique. Overall, well done.

Developer

Thanks for playing and for the feedback :) You're absolutely right. I wanted to use the bulbs more, but fell short of time to really put them to use. They were one of the first mechanics I built too funny enough.

Submitted

This game is absolutely amazing  I love everything its soo cool, the theme is incorporated amazingly  and the mechanics and everything is on point. the art is really cute and fits it very well.  I love the mechanics and the level design is great. However I did come across a couple bugs, for example on the level after you learn the pressure plate you infinitely die when you spawn in. one last suggestion I have is maybe having the blue ball as a toggle as I accidently clicked it and had to wait quite a while. overall a great game.

Developer

Thank you so much for playing and for giving feedback :) I'm glad you liked it!

A bug that causes you to infinitely die? Oh god.. never came across that before. I'll look into, thanks for bringing it up.

Thanks for the suggestion, I think thats a good idea :)

How could you massacre my boy D: Why would you introduce me to such a lovable silent protagonist like Skippy and then give potential for him to be massacred!

Heartless!

In all seriousness I loved this game lol.

So cute and genuinely fun! I love the idea of having to path Skippy around the levels and watch his little waddling self come out from the darkness. Such a great mechanic and so fun to play with.

No criticisms here other than that at times the lighting of the levels bugged out but that is expected in a game jam entry.

Great game and great job! :D

Developer

Haha I'm an evil man in reality. Mwhahaha ;)

Glad you liked it, thank you so much for playing.

Yea the web build has light bugs, that's why I recommended people to download and play the windows build instead. Hopefully that didn't take away from the experience (and affected your opinion). Thanks again :)
