Really cool idea, but if it generates the wrong way, it's not possible to go up on the other side.

really visually striking and fast paced, real change from other platformers.
I love the visuals! I'm not good at platformers, but this was hella fun! XD
I really liked the monochrome visuals! I found it quite tricky, maybe the light could have started slower and then sped up?
Definitely very fun! Loved the aesthetci and sound, really locked in after my first couple of deaths and tripled my score. I'm not sure if the light orbs were balanced enough for my routes - I had to skip them to make it anywhere - but I love the idea of the risk-reward. Also loved the color change later. nicely done!
The gravity is unforgiving, that's probably not good for everyone but I like the challenge it added. Turned it more into a rage bait game more than probably intended. However, tackling these kind of complex challenges is my jam so I was big into it. Great job!
I like the take on the theme, I haven't seen anything like this just yet. You also did a great job with the aesthetic.
The platforms sometimes seemed to not be reachable (I am bad at platformers so that might be on me). I think you maybe could get away with using a premade level or series of levels and having the light spawn randomized if you preferred.
As a veteran cuphead player THIS GAME IS hard but find it very Fun im a fun of cuphead and this kind of games makes me happy. Awesome Game!
Very very interesting take on the theme, I love the creativity!
Very fun, however going upwards on the left takes much longer then the other sides and therefore can feel a bit unfair. If the light area was larger this could instead add strategy, of getting ahead in the other areas to give yourself time here, but as you don't have much space, it doesn't feel possible.
