Quite a creative platformer, I like how you have to scout the level before getting the lightbulb. It's nice that the death locations stay in the map to guide you. I would prefer if the plants that reveal your location kept it shown or gave a little bit of light, though. Visuals are simple and audio works fine. Good game!
Great game! I like the concept, but it was confusing at times to find the starting position of my character, especially in level 2.
I found the "light flower thing" mechanic a great addition. Speaking of which, in level 3 finding out what it was after getting the lightbulb felt really cool and was a lot of fun!
Nevertheless, I think changing the "light flower thing" to constantly illuminate the character when its standing on top of it instead of just showing the player for a second would be better.
Fun Game, I enjoyed it!
that is indeed.. not how lightbulbs work
The art, SFX, and music are all good. I like the concept of this platformer, but it would be nice if we at least knew where the character was at the start of the level
Hi, cool game idea.
I don`t like that it is kind of try and error on the areas where you don`t have any light. because you don`t see where you are running around.
But at least the sound gives a feedback that you are on the correct path i guess.
I like the effect when you picked up the lightbulb and it illuminates the way to the socket. Also the movement of the character is good (whenever i can see him) ;)
:) - Great movement, 4th level plays with our expectations really well, awesome idea to show where you died and smooth follow animations for the lightbulb.
:( - Originally I thought the little lights along the way were checkpoints, but were not, and the player is not visible at the start.
Gameplay : quite impressive game.
Light screen should be bigger because when I move character I see edge.
How many level do you have? I play around level 4 then cannot move forward.
Audio : I don't hear anything.
Yep, it's 4 levels, I didn't add an ending screen - just a slightly different chime, haha - I wonder what's up with the audio. Thanks!
