How did you implement the Theme?
I implemented the light theme by making the entire map dark and requiring the player to create light in order to see and progress.
How did you add the Special Object?
I added a Bell as a special object that lights up the map when it rings, helping the player reveal obstacles and navigate through the level.

I loved this game. The art is super cute! I ran into the pit problem after the third child but otherwise it was really fun.
I couldn't get too far, because a pit somewhere after the third child doesn't kill you when you fall into it - you survive and can scroll the screen but you don't die and respawn? I did like how giving the children presents acted as checkpoints, though. One thing I would definitely of done is - after the player dies, removing the lights they've spawned since the last checkpoint and re-add the bells they've collected since that checkpoint to the level. As it is, if you ring the bell somewhere and it's not in an appropriate spot, you... kind of have to restart the entire game again. But, a good effort! :)
Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback mate :D
I actually don't even know about that pit thing so that was my bad :( Appreciate you playing and the kind words!
This one was interesting, I enjoyed how you combined ringing the bell with revealing the light. The art is cute and I liked how you deliver presents to the children haha. It helped motivate me to continue forward.
Haha glad u enjoyed it :p, thanks for playing !
I have to admit, I find the game cute :>
P.S.: Why does the ground remind me of Minecraft?
IT WAS A BIT INSPIRED BY MINECRAFT LOL :p
XD
The sprites are cute and I like how the checkpoints are children. Nice job!
Thanks for the kind words :D Happy holidays !
Hello!!
it was really fun playing your game! I rarely play platformers, but honestly, this one is really good. I liked that we only get the bell when we dare to walk in the dark.
Also, the game starts almost instantly. That's a pretty big bonus.
Heyy, thanks for playing and rating it :), glad u had fun!
Also, here's my playthrough of your game. It's at the start of this video.
Thankyou so much! No one has ever reviewed my game on a YouTube video before. I really appreciate it!
Game is challenging, but I still managed to finish it in one playthrough despite getting hit by spikes or falling down into pits multiple times. Nice jam submission!
HAHA, thanks for playing man!
This was fun to play, Great controls!
Heyy big thanks dude, this feedback means a lot to me
Pretty fun and rage inducing lol. I would add that bells get reset to your inventory after every death but this way is more challenging. I also love the checkpoint sfx and art!
Thanks for the feedback, I'll look into it :D, Appreciate the kind words!
Honestly I had more fun with this than I was expecting, it's a pretty well crafted little platformer :)
Audio is a lil loud, a toggle would be nice!
Well done!
Thanks a lot! Glad u had fun :p
Noted on the audio, didn't think about the volume toggle, that was my bad
I appreciate ur response!
