I like the visuals on this one and the use of the premise but I feel like the game is a little too slow. Still a good game considering the time constraints!

The visuals are cool, even if a bit simple. The audio is fine too. I like that there's a message in each level, using the light to hide half of the text. The movement is quite clunky though, and I would often get stuck in places because the character sticks to the walls and sometimes doesn't jump properly. It would also be nice to be able to restart a level, since the one time I forgot the level layout towards the end of the game forced me to restart the whole game. Overall a nice game considering the limited development time. Good job!

:)  -  Nice visuals, and the music is calming.

:)  -  Interesting messages, very problematic movement, and the levels have no restart mechanic in case you get stuck, so it can get frustrating sometimes, with the movement compounding that.

P.S.  -  Love the aesthetic :)

cool game idea with light and darkness. cool music, fits the game.
I am not sure if you were going for these style of collisions/wall sliding etc.
i could somehow cheese a few levels because i could wallhack/run on the ceiling etc, if i jumped a lot.
I find the horizontal movement could be a little faster.
A lot of levels, did manage to finish a lot, but still didn`t beat the game completly.
Well done for under 3hours!
