I liked it very much, the theme is well integrating into the gameplay and the gameplay is very pleasant

Not bad.  I really like the art for this game, it looks very stylish and spooky. However, some of the obstacle placements were a bit tricky to work around. It'd be nice if there was a better way to plan for the spikes in particular, but aside from that this was pretty fun.

The art and gameplay are great. I also think it's a very good idea how you used the darkness.

Beside the ending is very cute ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

Clever use of darkness and very enjoyable game. The ending is fantastic!

The darkness mechanics worked well--especially the limited attacks which also illuminate the area.

Tight platforming with cool art and fun music! Nice job!

Art is absolutely amazing and the gameplay is the perfect balance of challenging but not unfair. Feels really cool weaving in between enemies after you spend your light, and the phenomenal music makes it even better! Good stuff!

Really enjoyed this one. The gameplay was challenging and the music was really funky. The wee comic at the end was cool too.

Great art and nice game mechanics! I found myself bruteforcing some of parts of the stage but I really love the idea that the flame could be use both for orientation and shooting. Good job!

Nice little game with some fantastic artwork. The mechanics felt a little confused at times, so I died a lot, but still some good ideas here. Thanks for joining the jam! :)

Great entry!
Few things I would change/add:
- I think movement could be a little more snappier
- More audio and visual effects like particles
- That is some funky music for a dark dungeon :D

But overall one of coolest game in this jam. Great job and I loved the ending.

originally I wrote a dark phillip glass inspired track, but we decided on goofy-scary rather than scary-scary and maybe I got carried away 😂

Solid 10/10 entry! Your team scoped perfectly well  - everything is blending together just fine. You created a little gem that is ultra-fun to play and a joy to look at and listen to - including a humorous ending.  Well done!

Very cool concept, I like how the level design is centered around the light mechanic. The animations look nice too and the cutscene at the end is very nice!
