Nice little platformer! The art is beautiful and the movement is good. I would have loved controller support. The enemies were almost too small and too random to be a real issue. I also didn't realize I could wall jump, once I did, that really helped me fly through the game. I enjoyed my little escape from the woods. Nice work!

I really like graphics in this game, effects are beautiful. Nice platformer. There are some details that I think easy to fix but are very visible like floating characters. But overall it is a great concept

Art was great and the movement felt good. The idea of keeping your light up in a dark world is real neat.

I found the enemies really difficult to engage with, but not so difficult to avoid, if you take my meaning. Trying to figure out a pattern and dodge them was hard, but blindly sprinting to the next checkpoint usually got me there in at most 3 tries. Also ran into some invisible walls/ceilings occasionally but nothing so bad that it stopped me from progressing.

Good stuff

I think the premise of not letting the lights go out is interesting!  It did seem a little unforgiving, maybe I'm being dense but it seemed like you could fall into a hole and have no choice but just to wait for the light to go out so you could respawn.

thank you! there is ability to wall jump to get out of the ditch/hole, not sure if I made it clear enough that that was an option!
