Very good. Absolutely love the visual style and your choice to take the theme and use it on a platformer. Nailed the execution.
Solid entry, it's interesting what can happen when you add an "unseen" twist to classic jump and run mechanics. And I would love to know how you made the organic die animation, got me every time.
I have a death scene with sprites for all the giblets. and I tried to make it dynamic with physics but gave up after an hour. so, I manually animated every bit with the animation player. ... it's the same animation every time!! I swear ill figure out the physics thing at some point.
Really fun game that does something solid with the theme. I managed an A+ with 10 deaths, which sounds decent considering I fail at most platformers! The 2D lighting works really well and there's quite a lot of content to get through for a game jam.
Fun game!
thank you for playing
It felt cool to find out you can explode the mines with your projectile
Great job! Finding your way through the darkness with nothing but your light created a very tense atmosphere. I just had difficulty judging the jump distance of the character.
Nice work! The 2D lighting works really well here. The darkness adds a lot of claustrophobia to the levels, it's really effective
Really good. But, the controls could be better. If I aim with the mouse why don't I shoot with the mouse?
in hind sight this makes too much sense lol 😆
Super polished and very fun to play.
Super polished and felt really smooth in terms of mechanics. I think the range of the scanner could be a bit increased -- sometimes the scanner wouldn't pick the next platform I had to go, so, it was just a shot in the darkness (and a guaranteed death until I found where the platform was)
Awesome work!
