How does your game fit the theme?
1) When you die, you leave behind a lantern to help you on your next start
2) When you reach the end, you have to retread your steps through previous levels to complete the game
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
All code and visual assets by me

Great atmosphere. The cave is very dark which makes movement challenging but is also a huge part of the mood. I think it's great how you introduce new mechanics...with explanation and in game signs. The wall climb and dash are a bit hard to get comfortable with.
I was at the door and rusty keep map. After the block at the top of the screen crumbled below me, I wasn't able to make the dash over to the key. It would be a good idea for crumbling platforms to regenerate after awhile.
Even though we are told that we can light the lanterns, I didn't see any way to light them. Maybe they are supposed to light just by touching them? In the webGL version there was never any light from lanterns. No light from the lanterns left where you die either. The idea to leave lanterns that add more light to the map is a great idea...but unfortunately it didn't work on my browser.
The red eyes fleeing from the light felt a little inconsistent. Sometimes I would shine my light directly on the eyes and they would fade away; other times they would be moving toward me and still get me. I think they need to be in the brightest part of the light a certain amount of time?? it's unclear.
The background music was a perfect fit to your game. The art style was really nice to look at.
Nice game! I love the atmosphere and the audio. I don't think it matches the theme very well though. Overall very cool game :). Check out my game too!
I really like the use of light and the general feel. I also like the in-game text telling you what to do and the little signs with controls. I got a bit lost when it came to the lanterns though, so might be good to have a big sign next to a lantern to help players.
Very nice game - good idea, nice theme good atmosphere but it took me some time to wrap my head around the climbing mechanic xD
Good effort:)
Nice game u have here!
I like the atmosphere here, music is very nice and dark theme oh.
Overall it's a very good one
Very good
Interesting game. Sound design was amazing and along with the dark levels and graphics set a good mood.
Great work! I only made it until the spike pit though. Interesting idea with the lanterns.
