I like the aesthetic! But it seems incomplete.
It's incomplete for sure. We didn't have enough time to properly implement certain features or even experiment with the variables to create the most balanced experience. The team is working to fix these problems, though!
Cool art style! Main menu looks great, too. I'm interested in trying again when the game is a bit more complete. Nice job!
Thanks for the praise! Our team will be sure to realise the full potential of this project after the jam!
I think there's potential, but it needs a lot more polish. I found if I moved up or down and then tried to move left or right while still holding the key, the character would just stop. I like the aesthetic, but the character's walk cycle doesn't follow the animation principles. Also sometimes the direction the character is facing doesn't match the key I'm pressing.
Yep, we were forced to rush many things including the animation. The sprites are all there, but the code for animating the player is unfinished. We're hoping to fix all of that and more after the jam has ended.
Funny concept, love the idea of playing a lamplighter! Could use some more time to make a really interesting game :)
Thanks for playing! We're already working on adding to it, as well as polishing what's already there of course.
So much potential here, and I'm really excited to see how it develops after the jam is done! We actually ended up doing kind of a similar concept... I really have a thing for lamps and keeping them alive :P
Super cool aesthetic and I love the art. Only final note is the audio seemed SUPER loud to me... that might just be me though! Good stuff!
Thank you!
It feels a little unfinished, but I like the idea and there's some pretty art! Thanks for joining the jam :)
It's definitely unfinished. We'll be polishing it after the rating period ends, though!
The art truly stood out, perfectly complementing the concept of a lantern lighter. The execution was flawless. I believe this game has the potential for further refinement to offer a more complete experience. I had a similar mechanic idea, though implemented differently. Overall, I found it quite enjoyable.
A feature we had to cut was an oil reserve mechanic: there were going to be oil lamps scattered across the map so you could refill your lantern. Hopefully we'll be adding that in a future update! Thank you for trying it out.
Good concept. It's sad you couldn't finish it in time.
Thanks for playing! Minutes before the submission deadline, we were actually considering not uploading this to the jam at all as the project was still in that awkward place between overtly unplayable and satisfactory. Regardless, the team put too much work in to just abandon it in its current state, and so we'll be adding to/polishing this game after the jam so that it fits what we had envisioned to begin with!
Really like the concept and graphics style, really exited to see the complete version in the future !
Thank you! We're already working on addressing all the technical issues, though no updates will be seen until after the rating.
Please note: this game was incomplete at the time of submission, containing bugs and missing some fundamental features. We will continue working on this project after the jam is over, and hopefully end up fully realising our vision for the game with a finished version sometime in the future.
