The game's very fun. I love the whole separating light into its primitive colors. The controls were a bit hard to use with it being very sensitive going up and down, compared to moving left and right. Other than that, the graphics and audio are really nice.

In all honestly, I really enjoyed your game. But in general, there are some things that could be improved on.
One of things that I enjoyed were the controls, although from time to time they felt a bit wonky but that could just be me.
One thing that could be improved was the music. Although the game is within space I felt like the music just didn't really adapt to the environment that the game was providing.
Another thing that I really loved was the graphics and how they tied with the theme. I loved how you had to collect the other colors in order to restore light.
For my final thing that I think could be added is just more gameplay. Right now the game is good but just doesn't have that variety and I do understand the fact that you had only a week to create the game so I'll definitely give it a pass. But possibly in the future after the Jam, you could add more things game-play wise.
That's it for what I had to say. I enjoyed your game. It was fun. Just needs more variety and just better audio to adapt the environment.
Besides all that then you've done a great job!
art looks amazing, i really like how you presented the goals/missions that you have to reach but they are very slow to complete, after a while i got bored and the sensitivity of the movement is very high, you should lower it and invert the y-axes since it is uncomfortable to play like that, music is very low, really like it, so chill.

Light Follower Jam EditionI loved this game! It was a bit confusing to catch the light rays at first, but once I realised I have to predict the ray's position along the path of the same colour, I was able to figure it out. Had fun with the game, although I'd have preferred the controls for the Y-Axis were reversed.
Also, when it comes to giving the player objectives, maybe you should separate the colours immediately after they leave the prism? I don't know it made more sense to me because one second I was supposed to be going towards Earth and the next I was chasing after rays of light.
Amazing game, though.

The Bandit King v0.1Looks really fantastic, reminds me of a windows screensaver (beziers?)! Recognized the reference from the name. Couldn't really grasp the gameplay well though (as it feels like you're hunting down the various scattered light sources?) but I managed to make it to earth in one piece? 5 minutes late.

OrbzNo the premise is quite cool especially when the rainbow appeared! But it might not very intuitive - seems like you're hunting down the light particles rather than the rays left behind? I was trying to get to the rays for a while and realized that didn't do much. Also it seemed kind of hard to hit the rays accurately so I thought I was doing something wrong, and realized I had to follow the particles moving about instead. Would be cool to see what colors I am missing too.
One of the most relaxing games I've played in this jam!
No complains in any aspects, except that the upload has 3 versions of the game .zip is 65mb

Prince of LightI guess I misunderstood the jam requirements. The rules listed on the jam page merely say "Source must be included" and it doesn't say anything about that source being only for the jam maintainer. So until a person goes to the submission form once the game is done, there is no indication that they are not expected to share their source code publicly. I'll ask CodeMyst if I misunderstood.
So CodeMyst said that the intention in the rules was the code should be made public, and that requirement was changed only after people "didn't want to". So, I say, as if that matters, most people should still be asked nicely if they wouldn't mind sharing their code. I think that makes this jam more relevant. Just my opinion.
