Very cute game! Perhaps being able to influence the character to turn around as he seemingly trusts you would help when you realise you've made a mistake instead of having to just watch him fall into the trap. Maybe making the game end when the light is too far away so you can't scout too far might balance this a bit. Loved the art and the glowing crystal effect with the little focused beam was a really nice touch, perhaps this could be used to defeat puzzles and/or enemies to keep the little explorer safe?
Very cool! Loved the art style a lot. Felt like a little bit of trial an error, but the idea of just lighting way for the character was really unique and fun. I enjoyed exploring the caves and getting him to take different paths. The crystal/fire mechanic was really cool too!
Nice job!
I'm seeing no background image while in the start menu, and, while playing, I only see the glowing orb. Am I the only one? (Firefox, Fedora OS)
Why does he keep falling into the trap? Oh he's following me... Not the other way around!😂. Made good sense after I figured that out... Good work on the sound, both the environment and the adventurer. Really solid first entry, great work!
Very nice. Liked the crystal mechanic.
Pretty novel idea, I like it! The "vote" button is a nice idea on the menu, but for me it goes to this broken link https://piet.itch.io/light-the-way.
Made it to the end, maybe I missed some content on the way though, only once did I have to use the crystal to burn a door. Congrats on a great first submission. :)
