It's so polished and so fun!
At first I was wondering where, you know, the crow was? And out of nowhere you get into a chase sequence and have to collect all the candles.
It really reminded me of a certain section in Celeste, I'm curios if that was an inspiration.
THE SOUND EFFECTS (and music): that reverb on them made them feel so much more impactful and juicy. The songs were also very catchy!
The pixel art was also really good (I also like the palette a lot) and the added lights made it pop off even more.
Overall it was a really good game and you did an amazing job considering the deadline!
