Really great platformer. The story at the ending is quite sad, but the gameplay is quite enjoyable. I only have one problem, though, when I climb down the ladder and can't seem to get out of it if there's nothing right below it. But overall, still really enjoy this one! Also, nice music and overall arts!

I like the mechanic of throwing the mushrooms to light your way! However I did manage to get stuck on the corner platform and was unable to move. I enjoyed the vibe tho, good work!
This was a great entry and i enjoyed playing it!
Thankyou for providinf options for volumes! its always a welcome surprise in jam games!
The art in your game was lovely, it was cohesive and fit the world really nicely also caryriong over to menus, vfx, your itch image and everthing inbetween. The lighting and vignette gave it a great moody feel that really fit the action of the game. The vfx like when the hands were getting close was a nice touch that made an already scarything even more pressureful and tense. I also really appreciated all the little touches (like the swipe in and out on scene change or the animation feel of the enemies pinging towards me, or the sfx and copy when you die).
The music was great and the whole sound design fit well. the start music was partiocularly striking to me as it didnt feel like a steriotypical horror sounding track but it really drew me in and intreiguied me. There was something beautiful but melancholic about it. The audio in this game really supported the rest well
I was sad when my time with this game was over, however the ending was really punchy especially for a game jam, it really hit, great job.
Nioce work, great submission!
Definitely a well-made game! I think the only downside is that it’s maybe a bit too short.
The visuals are amazing, the music is perfect, and the monster sound effects are great too.
There’s a nice hint of a story but I would have loved to know a bit more about it.
Good job! Hope you’ll make it longer someday. ^^
Very nice! A lot of work to leave a flower at a grave lol. Loved the art, and the music (especially the level music) was quite nice too! I could have used some more rubato in the piano theme to really sell the emotion, as is it sounds a little robotic.
Using bioluminescence in throwables is great. I was moving slow until I saw those hands coming. Great game!
aww cool look i can throw little light mushrooms awesome! wait what is that at the top of the screen!!! really pretty game ! i would have liked to be able to drop off ladders. and i got stuck once or twice when walking off a ledge and colliding into another ones side. Great game!
