Judge feedback is anonymous.

  • This game looks neat, I wish you could move a bit faster but other than that the story and artstyle is super nice and cohesive.

Did you include your Game Design Document in your downloadable files?
Yes

Tell us about your game!
Play as Lumen, a humanoid rat with light powers, and fight corruption as it spreads through your temple. Each loop, the void changes parts of the map, tearing down some walls and making new ones (only in a few places for now). Learn and grow your powers each loop. You keep earned powers between runs. They remember. Look for the green pillars with the hourglass on them for your powers. (For now there is a stun ability and a laser ability that is a weapon, a light, and the way you charge crystals. Find the 4 crystals, charge them to open the way to the purging stone, and then activate it with your laser to win the game. There are secret paths to help you, and gnomes to collect just for the memes. Thanks for playing and any feedback is welcome.

End to reset loop

(there is currently a bug in the game where the loop doesn't get reset by itself. if the void makes you unable to progress, reset it manually.)

Thank you for this opportunity. This was my first jam and first real game. I learned a lot and PirateSoftwares community is great. I hope you enjoy my creation.

Cool game and neat cohesive art style. Good job :)

Sorry if the game feels very confusing. I didn't make things very clear in game. There are secret paths. You activate the glowing crystals with the laser you retrieve later into the level. Look for the green pillar shapes with hourglass on them for your powers. Explore. Survive.

End key to reset the loop if you get stuck. The game was supposed to reset itself once a condition was met to avoid endless wandering. Unfortunately fixing a different bug broke that part of the code. Is fixed now but not in final submission sadly. Peace.
