simple and relaxing at first but the further you go the more difficult it becomes... beautiful graphics and music, as the controls are simple but I would recommend removing the option to turn on the flashlight with the mouse and making it easier to light it with a key of the keyboard because at times it is impossible to get the right timing without breaking the mouse puhahahahaha... good job

Developer

Thank you so much for playing! ✨
I will definitely consider adding a option to rebind controls in the future!

Really good. The art style was very nice. I like how the character moves. The jumping did feel a little high at some times. But that made it very easy to go around.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing and compliments! ✨
I did make the jumps very forgiving since I wanted the focus to be on the puzzle challenges rather than platforming challenges!

It’s so damn smart I have not one bad feedback, it plays and looks great :) This could definitely “scale” as a concept to a fully fledged game!

Developer(+1)

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE HIGH PRAISE 😭🙏
I completely agree, I'd definitely love to keep scaling this idea in the future, I love the concept as well!

Host

Yeah if you ever need some support just let me know, this works so well!

Really cool concept! The movement feels great and I like the art design :)

Developer

Thank you so much for playing! ✨
I really like minimalist pixel art, especially happy with the 3 color rule I impose on myself :))

very fun and refreshing concept, I wish there was more.

This is a cool game! I love how smooth the movement is, and the challenges are well executed and fit into the theme. I hope you take this game further, or make another one like it, as I actually enjoyed this game (coming from a guy who doesn't really like platformers.) Well done dude, be proud! :)

Developer

Thank you so much for playing and compliments 😭🙏
 Glad you noticed the smoothness of the movement, really proud of it!

I had a lot of fun playing the game. Very smart design and well crafted challenges. The art is very solid too. Awesome work!

This entry came across as solid and well-crafted. Everything flows smoothly and gives a refined impression. While there’s always room for improvement, the overall experience is very nice, i liked the level design and the use of the lantern to pass the levels and it reminded me of the kind of experience we also tried to bring with our own project Test it please!!

Developer

Thank you for playing and compliments! 🙏✨
I will definitely keep expanding on this concept in the future, glad you enjoyed it!

Nice and working mechanics and a nice art style. It's pretty good, even though it's short. Good Job

Developer

Thank you for playing!✨
It is unfortunately that I ran out of development time for this game, I would love to expand on this concept more in the future!

Very nice concept. I'm happy that you spent time to fine tune the movement, most other platformers I played on this jam didn't have satisfying movement, your do!

On top of that the concept is really fun and challenging.

Developer

Thank you so much for playing and compliments 🙏
I learned so much about how to make platforming feel good with this project, really glad you enjoyed it!

Love the art the sound of this game. The core mechanic was very unique too, to the point where I yelled "Its not what it seeems". Awesome job

Developer

THEME MENTIONED MOMENT 🔥🔥
Thank you for playing!

The art style is really solid and well established, I love it a lot! It definitely built the identity of the game right from the get go. The mechanics are intuitive and creative, and it feels really good to play with alongside the polished platformer mechanics like the long-press jump and coyote time. I do wish there were more levels as the designs were just starting to get interesting and well crafted, it was suddenly the end.

Overall, I really like the concept and design. I definitely see a lot of potential with the obstacles and possibly opponents, very cool and would love to see more of this!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing and all the compliments! 😭🙏
I worked hard on making the platforming aspect of the game as smooth as I can, I completely agree wih the levels suddenly ending, I unfortunatey ran out of development time cause of my work, I really wish I had more time to make more puzzle elements and levels, will definitely expand on this concept more in the future!

Submitted(+1)

Your hard work really shone through with the smoothness of it! I think that in this case you went for quality over quantity, and I find that it was a really good decision as in my opinion, it is a much better experience for a platforming game to have little to no faults in the feedback, controls, and gameplay but just a few levels versus the possibility of clunky, frustrating, and hard to manage controls but a lot of levels. So I find that you really knocked it out of the park with this!

I really like the artstyle and sound design.
The movement is also solid.

I was left wanting more, definitely a great foundation for more levels.

Developer

Thank you so much for playing! ✨
I also wanted to do more levels! Unfortunately I ran out of time cause of work, will definitely like to expand this game more in the future with clever puzzles!

Submitted(+1)

Really well executed, short but good use of the core mechanic! Great job overall!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing! ✨
Making the light work was a very interesting learning experience for me, glad you liked it!

Submitted

I feel the control are not intuitive and very awkward

Developer

Thanks for playing! ✨
Could you explain what makes the controls not intutive and awkward? would like to hear your perspective and improve my game!

Submitted

The mice click for the lantern is the main problem. Using both the mice and keyboard rather than just a keyboard is confusing

Wonderful mechanic, i found the secret!

Developer

Good job on being the first one to find the secret! ✨
Thanks for playing my game!
