Really nice platformer! Had some issues with sticking to objects, but it didn't detract from my experience.

Nice character design and level design! Good job on your submission!

Really awesome game, cool mechanics and use of theme. I kind of wish the art was original that's fine. Your team did an excellent job!

I love this art style and the music is nice too. The combat system is good, but there could be an option to hit diagonally. The worst part is that the move is very buggy.

The game looks great and it's very atmospheric! I honestly really don't like that controls are z, x and c, maybe it's just me but makes the jumping and combat very hard. It would've been great if the controls are just space bar and mouse buttons. Keep up the good work!

Nice platformer! The lantern switches are a really cool concept, congrats on getting that implemented! The combat was also pretty well polished I feel.

However, speaking about the platforms, they were a bit glitchy for me when I tried to walk on them, also, the lantern catched on ledges, but neither of these issues prevented me from completing the level. 

The sounds are amazing, in that you were able to implement so many and they all fit together really well to create the soundscape.

The lighting was really consistent and worked well with the levels, I found each level fun to complete once I got a handle on the controls.

The levels were fun, and at one point I thought I got stuck but then I checked and you implemented a reset level in your menu (which is something our team frequently forgets to do!). So overall, this was a really solid entry and excited to see more from your team!

Fun game but a little difficult for me to control, beautiful artwork and I really enjoyed the music and sfx, congrats!

Pretty fun! The combat is quite difficult actually.

I appreciated the retro feel, and the attack box was placed really well for making the Metroidvania style combat fun. Keep creating!

Nice art and overall look of the game.

Fine little platformer, i really like the artstyle as well, and the music is good! Sadly it needs some polish. First of all there's some sort of scaling issue. The controls feels a bit awkward, so another time i would probably stick to some standard control scheme. Also, i would often get stuck on walls, platforms and bugs, and i dont know if it is a specific choice you made, but you cannot walk on the platforms that moves?
All in all good work!

The game itself is fun as hell , the art is amazing and charming and the gameplay is fun aswell Truly amazing but here's an issue that I ran into I could climb on the bug and I could stay on it if you want I faced this on the 2-3 level where the moving platform is...other than that excellent job!

A very cute and atmospheric platformer. The art is cute too) I like this game

So cute. Enjoyed it. Too bad the fireflies don't go after the light like one would expect.
