Really liked this one, extremely intrigued by the screenshots, although not really resembling the actual gameplay - given me the vibe of those old school games, doing exactly the same - screenshots kinda showing more there is, which fires up the imagnation nicely!

Would love some low-end pc mode or something, I was running it on a laptop, and needed to use some Windows based trickery to play it in lower resolution, to actually be able to play. Liked the writing, some of it very gruesome, but I would cut on the protagonist yapping, or at least place the text UI somewhere else, as it was obstructing a lot of stuff in the gameplay portion, being directly in the center.

Awesome work on the assets, and the overall difficulty and checkpoint handling was amazing, really nice I wasn't forced to repeat same moments all over again if dead, kinda got cheesy with the bosses, but in the end, the constant flow of things, was worth it (we all now, we sometimes don't have a lot of patience, thinking about how many games there are ahead of us playing on itch).

Level design wise, it flowed nicely, made it right to the end easily. Very nice introduction, and the switch to darkness with the light, was an amazing thing, made a nice moment. I would personally, light up boss spaces more, just to make them more readable, and add variety as well. Also basic gate introduction, before you find the key, was not always on point, but that's just total nitpicking, and a totally minor thing for a jam game. The game was just short and sweet enough, to not overstay it's welcome.

Very on point with the theme, and even the sub-theme was nicely addressed. Would love, the light special ability to regen faster, to give variety in combat.

Yeah, overall an amazing experience ! 🫀🫀🫀
