How does you game fit the theme?
Several elements of this game are simply parts of the main characters imagination and are shown not to be real when the flashlight shines on them.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
All code, art, and music are from scratch. Two premade fonts and one sound effect were not made by me, their creators are credited in the credits.

This game has a lot of potential with the art and game mechanics. Unforurtunetley the jumping and wall jumping is really difficult to control and needs a lot of polishing.  Nice game anyway.

I like the art and the music was very fitting!

But the controls really made it hard to play. The worst was the wall jumping stuff, because I would have to hold K and then sometimes have to shine a light on shadows at the same time so that's K and J and then also press Space. It was also really hard to climb up walls when there was only one wall and you could not bounce off the other ones.

But the concept is really cool and if you fix the controls it will be great!

Interesting game! I quite liked the art and the idea, the controls were a bit weird, but they didn't bother me either. The game itself was quite frustrating and difficult for me, maybe checkpoints were missing, but overall a good game
