Theme Interpretation
In Shadow Escape, the Red Crystal acts as a signal that guides the player toward freedom. Trapped inside a dark dungeon, the player must overcome dangerous traps and challenging parkour sections to find the crystal and unlock the exit. The crystal represents a sign of hope in the darkness, connecting the game to the theme of “Signal.”

Congratulations on for your first jam! The art direction is my favorite part of the game, it feels polished.
Some constructive criticism would be to make those jumps a bit more forgiving. I'm not sure if there's any further content beyond the first level because that final jump before the red crystal is incredibly hard. I was looking for the quick animation change when the character begins to fall before I jump and even that was not enough to make it. That level of precision does hamper the fun for me.
Simple, but very nice. Not sure how it uses the theme though
Really nice game! Maybe adding some jump buffering and coyote time would make the controls feel a bit more forgiving and comfortable. Love the pixel art too!
if you guys want you can check out my other game DARKBOUND i make it in unity and is also a plat former game but with so much more challenges and more player ability , and please leave a comment in there to i see how you guys fill about the game SITE: https://voidwright.itch.io/dark-bound-a-game-by-void-wright. and thank you all for playing and rating this game. i hope is be a fun game for you all.
It's amazing that you managed to create such a polished game in just 6 days!
It's simple, but surprisingly challenging, and I got completely hooked. The feeling of pulling off a jump at the very last moment, right before falling off the edge, and successfully landing was so satisfying!
Congrats on completing your first game jam!
Thanks for playing. if you guys want you can check out my other game DARKBOUND i make it in unity and is also a plat former game but with so much more challenges and more player ability.
I can proudly say I beat the final rage game jump at the end. My partner and I couldn't put the game down until we beat it. Great job!
Thank you for playing
its nice for a first game jam, but the final section actually felt like a rage game, the controls could use a little work.
nice job
Grats on the first jam!
