Really cool aesthetic, love the charge jump up mechanic and atmosphere you've created. Great work :-)

I found myself often getting stuck in places where you couldn't continue, sometimes right after spawning. unless there was a way to go through walls that i have missed.

I really did like the timed jumps on the lightbulbs though. Cool concept

Yeah, that happens a lot. I couldn't figure out why, but I was running out of time so I just focused on getting the rest of the game to work ):

Quite liked it. I feel like the charge bar could charge quicker, and the mid-air hops a bit higher, but it was definitely enjoyable. Well executed platformer.

Thank you!
