I LOVE this idea, there's a ton of cool shit u could do if u decide to expand this! Like you said, holding a torch (maybe that goes out after a set amount of time?)... Also though moving lights, lights that flick on and off, glowing objects, spotlights, blocking/revealing/reflecting light beams around.... I lowkey might steal this idea and make my own take on it haha
Some critiques:
- It's hard to see where you're going, because of the low contrast between the solid black character and very dark background. I suspect you could make the "dark" colors much lighter, but still retain the effect and improve the readability.
- It's not super clear what the goal is, or where to go. I enjoyed jumping around between the platforms but I couldn't find a way past the first (or second?) screen, by falling off at different points or trying to get to the right edge. More hand-holding or guidance would make it easier to engage with!
Great job though, the vision is SOLID and I'd love to see where you go with it!!
