Lovely little platformer, the lighting effects and art look great!

Developer

Thank you thank you! We put a lot of time and effort into making it look as good as possible.

You're very welcome!

Cool art, controls are a little jumpy so might want to look at toning it down a bit. Fun stuff.

Developer(+1)

What if we toned it up even more as a hard mode? That could be an idea...

Submitted(+2)

I like the art style, but the controls are a bit poor, and jumps sometimes don't go double. Yet, the visuals are good.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! Would have loved to have cleaner movement but sadly ran out of time.

I loved the visuals! the flashlight and the art style were a very nice touch! the only thing was the movement, it seemed a bit too fast and a little hard to control.

Developer

Yeah the character definitely needs to chill out a bit haha. Thanks for playing!

Controls are a bit tricky, but visually it is very nice.

Developer

Thank you for the kind words and feedback 😁 

Developer

Thanks for the feedback and playing! We will be sure to tighten them up in the future :)

I like the game visuals. The way the flashlight moves around is somewhat unwieldy. I think I accidentally activated the first checkpoint again, which meant I had to start over.

Developer

Thanks!! The flashlight is tied to cursor location so it goes a little bananas when moving around 🤣

same as @Lambert

Developer

Ty for playing :)

I really enjoyed the creative art in the game.  I couldn't get too far because the light vs the platforming was a bit too hard for me... Especially with the dash not really working for me sadly. But I like the idea and hope you can flesh it out more!

Developer

Thanks so much! We hope we can flesh it out more too lol  The dash is definitely jarring and a little funky to use so I don't think you'll be alone in that lol

Developer

Thanks for playing! We hope that after the movement is fixed the difficulty gets easier. Tough to balance the visibility when the player jumping is a bit janky haha.

I am horrible at platformers, but did enjoy this. I'd love to see it polished up and have some music (even ambiance) added. My only complaint is how fast the torch/flashlight can move in relation to your sprite. It's a little jarring and could possibly trigger seizures or migraines in individuals that are light-sensitive. 
Overall 4/5 stars.

Developer

Thanks so much! We appreciate the compliments and the feedback 🙏😁

Developer

Thank you thank you! great advice and I love that you can see the potential after we polish up some of the gameplay mechanics.

I seriously suck at platformers, but I still had fun. A tad quiet, but very visually appealing. The lil' ghost is soo cut

Developer

Thanks so much! 

I agree. very quiet lol as we are playing other games we are going "damn. We really needed to commit some time to sound." haha 

We leaned heavily into the visual vibes so we are glad to hear they didn't disappoint! 

Developer

Yeah great feedback! Next time sound or a backtrack will be a focus for sure. Loved the sound in your game!

I liked it a lot. I would recommend allowing people to go full screen in your web version, though. I think it's under your game's page when you edit it. 

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks for the tip! the web version was suuuper last minute so everything was dedicated to desktop/download. Hindsight.... lol (edit) There is indeed a button there to allow it. thank you very much!

Developer

Thank you so much for this tip! Life saver haha.

The art style is simple yet so good, I'm actually really impressed! My reaction is not good for this game lol but I still really liked it!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! We made all art and animation ourselves (could ya tell? lol) and this was our first time doing that. So we appreciate the compliment a lot! :D

Developer(+1)

Yeah the movement is a little fast. I'd be impressed if you nailed it haha. Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+2)

Really cute style! I loved the torch mechanic, it was fun to look around and plan my movement accordingly. I felt like the movement was a bit fast and I had a hard time properly using the dash. However, I'd be super interested in playing this again as a full game. Keep up the good work!

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks for the kind words and feedback! We struggled endlessly to tidy up the movement. Alas, movement mechanics are hard, and time limits are never long enough. 😂

Developer

Thanks for playing!  We definitely want to try to add some polish after the Jam and your feedback is really encouraging :)
