How does the game fit the theme?
Wisps in the cave guide your way home. But which are friends and which are foes?
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

I just used the die repeatedly to trial and error method to find my way :D
It was interesting trying to figure out which wisps to trust when moving through the level. This game could benefit from having sound effects as it feels off without them being there. I had fun but couldn't find the last fish at the end. Good job submitting the game on time
Good artistic direction here, love the ambiance, great work !
This game was really engaging! I loved the lighting and the visuals!
samuel the cat and the wisp cave look gorgeous, love the dark atmosphere and how the theme comes through in trusting the right wisps. navigating in the pitch dark was genuinely tough for me but the mood carries it. nice work i enjoyed playing
Solid controls and air control. I liked the presentation as well (although could use a fullsceen?). How are you supposed to get all the ‘fish’? At one point I fell down a hole, got one, but then couldn’t get out? Is there some movement tech I haven’t figured out?
Sorry, that might be a bug we forgot to fix. there should be a slime that is supposed to fall down and kill you, triggering the respawn, but it it gets stuck on the canyon walls. the fish are scattered throughout level. We intended for the player to follow the supposed "good wisps" to reach all the fish.
Thanks for playing our game!
Beautiful game , lil kitty is so cute
Cute little game! I did get stuck a few times and quit, so I didnt see the ending, but I loved the majority of it! Great job and keep going!
I really enjoyed this one! Samuel is such a cute little cat, and the idea of having to trust your eyes and instincts fits the theme really well.
I especially liked how some of the wisps looked innocent but couldn't always be trusted. The only thing I’d improve is making the differences between the dangerous and safe wisps a little clearer.
Really fun game and great concept!
Oh no, We forgot to untoggle it while testing! working on the fix right away
It was really difficult. I did enjoy the music and art, it looked really nice, of what I could see.
Beat the game, I like the idea of the little wisps being the ones to guide your way and the theme tying into whether to trust them or not
Really cute and interesting game! I love the background and especially the cute cat. It’s a little hard for me and I tried more than ten times to find the right way lol.
Visuals are stunning, the music is on point, but either I don't undersantd what to do, or it's just too difficult to navigate in the dark
incredible srt style and atmosphere the lighihn choice was actually good but the range could be longer ehe ending or the story could be better for this type of animation and music ı think the gameplay was a little low
Nice game I love a good platforming game
Fun platformer, nice music.
Hey there! Listen, the game is really cool—the lighting creates a great atmosphere—but I found a tiny bug On Level 2, if you jump onto the spikes, for some reason you can’t respawn; unfortunately, because of this bug, I couldn’t make it to the next level Still, you’ve done a fantastic job good luck!
Thanks for the feedback, we've fixed the infinite death loop bug on level 2. It should be possible to proceed the next level now.
I love the writing in the scrolls (very silly)! The movement also feels kinda precision platformer-y, in a good way. I probably would give this game a higher rating, but there is a glitch in the second room where if you die you get stuck in a death loop. If that gets fixed, I'll definitely try to play more!
Hi, thanks for giving our game a try! We've fixed the infinite death loop bug on level 2. It should be possible to proceed to the next level now.
