this was a really clever game! the puzzles weren’t extremely difficult but were still very satisfying to solve. the physics could get a little finicky at times with the main mechanic, such as with moving platforms getting stuck on a single pixel, though with a couple tweaks it could be super solid. i also found a bug where if you pick up a lit lantern while your flashlight is active, your flashlight beam just stays in place and doesn’t move with you. outside of the gameplay, the pixel art was SUPER well done! especially the backgrounds, those were beautifully made! the music was also great, and as a final note i loved the twist at the end. loved it!!

Thank you! We caught the flashlight pickup glitch shortly after uploading but it was too late to fix. The backgrounds were actually super easy, barely an inconvenience. I took real pictures and pixelated them down to 320x180 (the resolution of the game), adjusted the color palette to include only the colors for that mode, and then messed with saturation and contrast values.
