Love everything about the game. The visuals, mechanics and design. It's amazing how polished it is in just 48 hours. Great job!

Developer

Thank you for the kind words!

Really fun and polished game! 
I kept running into ghosts when entering their areas though haha, horrible creatures! But yeah it's a lovely style, well worked out gameplay and fun characters :)

Nicely done!

Good to hear you liked our game! :D

Awesome art and great execution. The level design feels punishing at places, killing the player for stuff they could not have known, but all in all an awesome entry!

Developer

Glad you liked it! We indeed will work on some of those... uuuh... unnecessary deaths, to put it bluntly. Thank you for playing!

Cool looking game but also feels smooth, some very cool things you can do with this. But I do agree with Chartle. Some of those screen transitions are scary! Also how do I know how I make it to the end? I think I found all the light bugs. All in all Good job!

Developer

Thank you for playing! I initially did not know how our camera would exactly work, so I kinda winged the level design; and it shows... We'll do an after-jam polish session to decrease/remove those scary transitions. Thank you for the feedback and hope you still enjoyed the game despite the annoyance.

Lovely aesthetic, great concept! The screen transitions were placed a bit unfortunately at some points (having to jump through a transition to get on a platform for example), and enemies were some times unavoidable when first entering a room (which I guess I could have avoided by having the light on, but still). Overall very nice job!

Developer

Thank you for playing and thanks for the feedback! We will probably do an after-jam polish to get rid of some of those pesky camera transitions to make it feel a bit better to play.

I LOVE THIS!! The style is unique, not too difficult, and the concept of all of the work to feed a frog is just amazing.

Amazing art! Was fun to play as well, though a bit hard

Developer(+1)

Our artists did a great job indeed! We will probably adjust some of the levels in a couple of days so that the unnecessary deaths will be a thing of the past. Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad you liked it, we will do an after-polish in the future, so if you are still in it to win it then that would be awesome!

What a beautiful interpretation of the theme, and the pixel art is stunning!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! Hope you enjoyed!

It's wonderful! Really captured the essence of the theme + created a unique, exciting, and challenging game experience. Art and sound also really good. Well done! 

Developer

Glad you liked it!

Nice game, very pretty.

I found it a bit unfriendly - is this drop down somewhere I can go or is it death? Also the blocks that reveal themselves in the light only as you jump towards a ledge, causing you to fall to your death when you've just taught me that my light is a source of protection seemed unfair. Perhaps I'm just impatient this morning and having to restart from the beginning each time bothered me?!

Well done, good work, sorry not to offer a more specific bit of praise! 

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the feedback! Glad you still enjoyed it despite the unfriendly drop downs. We have done a little hot fix to rid *some* of the problems you mentioned. Hopefully this version will not be as infuriating as the previous one!

Thank you for the reply and we are already busy with a version that is more friendly towards the players

Fricking ghouls, hate those guys...

Epic game, love the art style!

Developer(+1)

Hihi, those gouls can indeed be a little pesky. Thanks for playing!

In terms of original and fun game play, this is the best game I've played yet. Nice work!

Developer

Wow! Glad you liked the game so much, I am happy to say we are planning on an after-polish in the future!

Submitted(+3)

Really interesting concept, the light is really simbolic to "protect" you from the darkness.

Developer

Thank you! The symbolism wasn't really intentional, but I do like it!

Submitted(+3)

Looks amazing. Love the amount of polish :)

Developer

The developer and our artists really went to town on this one! Thanks for playing!
