Fantastic game! Both jam themes are represented really well. The controls, visuals, and sound design are all excellent.

I especially loved the idea of finding your way through the darkness. The camera work and tutorial are also implemented very thoughtfully. We might even borrow some inspiration from a few of your ideas!

I’ll definitely show your game to the rest of our team!

Awesome game arts, AMAZING enviorment and controlls, Good game

It's a very interesting game. We played the jam theme very cool, and we also made slow burning, as a health gorenje. I was impressed. I liked everything about this game. We even managed to make customizable controls, it's cool. Attention to detail is great here. Well done, good luck with your future projects)

Very original concept, nice

Okay, you really nailed it and your planning is so good that you were able to make good mechanics, good level design, be thoughtful of the theme and with lots of interesting turns through the gameplay. One of my favorites games this jam!

I really liked your level design. It's honestly one of the best in this jam so far. The core gameplay mechanics are also really well put together. 

I think it could be even more interesting if the amount of candle wax you have left had a stronger effect on your character's light, since that would make it work better as a visual indicator of your health. That said, I can also see how making the light dimmer could have an impact on the game's difficulty because of how much it would affect the visibility of the environment. Which would likely cause a lot of trouble.

controls were smooth cool game

I think this has a really solid base, but it feels unfair. Platforming in the dark is pretty hard and then to have instant kill enemies show up before I'm even told how to attack... Then after I did learn how to attack it didn't seem like those enemies were affected by it.

Very cool game. Love that dying isn't necessarily dying if you can get to a checkpoint/candle quick enough. Really neat system. Gameplay controls were nice and smooth. No notes other than the lack of contrast as mentioned by other reviewers. 

Very cool I love metrdoid like games, the movement is very smooth.

The only thing i think could improve a lot is settings for contrast + brightness, since my monitor is trash, it was a bit hard to properly see, even close to character.

Very good game, good luck!!!

I absolutely loved it, very enjoyable and great looking, I loved the vibe and the story, really set itself apart from the other games. The movement is very clean, however idk about losing health/light when dashing into walls, slows the gameplay too much in my opinion. (if that was the point thats great then!) 

Overall great game, I had a genuinely great time playing through it.

great game!! not too easy but very fun to play; i really like the candle mechanic, and the order/timing of how the controls were explained - it feels very natural!

i agree with the other commenters - a brightness setting is one small thing that would improve a lot.

also one thing i really loved - the undertale-style beginning text, from the sound to the animated floating letters, it's so cool :3

I really like your game! The mechanics feel very intuitive and rewarding to pick up on. I would agree that it was very dark even with my computer brightness up. This might not be accessible for some people, so making it just a bit brighter around the character would be great. Otherwise, this was really amazing!!

Solid game, good job

nice game!, the player controller was smooth and the lighting really set the mood. the only thing is that it was hard for me to know where the player is because everything was in the same color scheme. but other than that great game!

Great game, great build on the theme. Well done how all mechanics slowly build up with tooltips and uses.

I really liked it! Super polished and the lore and everything was really good.

I also think this is the 1st game i played without any bugs.
