Design Statement
We kept the music in loop while we iterated over many ideas. We were focusing on our strengths which were coding, environment art and game feel & polishing. We discarded a few ideas that were too big in scope to fit in 2 weeks. After listening the trcak a bunch, we just wanted a game where you start in a dark environment (because music starts out melancholic) and you light up the world as you progress. The core idea is that you start with very little and end with many things. Actually, lighting up the moon idea came at very near end of the jam.
Game Instructions (launch steps, controls, and gameplay overview)
WASD to move
Shift to sprint (once unlocked)
Move near the orbs to light them up. Light enough orbs to progress.
Look up while sprinting to fly up (once unlocked)

We did not use AI for any art or sound. We used Claude for a bit of help with code editing.

The dash and flight controls feel fantastic! Simple but not dull. Flying up to the sky island for the first time was a delightful surprise—I’m looking forward to more map designs!
I really liked this game, I just didn't like the movement. It didn't feel natural. It was super difficult to move the character or control them. Also, adding some game juice when above the water like leaving a wake would be dope AF.
Super large maps and a smooth sense of movement. I think I should try to incorporate this kind of sprinting into my game.
This was such a WONDERFUL experience! I love the aesthetic and just the vibe is comforting? Love the use of lighting and also sound effects and everything. Honestly, if you guys continue on this game further, I would definitely play a full-fledged release! This was so much fun! Awesome work!
Thanks a lot!! Glad to hear you liked our game!
Loved the sound design here! And the music is so good too! The movement mechanics are very good and balanced, makes you want to hover around forever. And nice use of camera angles too!
The Moon is lit! Very cool game, I really like the feel of boost effect!
Thanks a lot!!
Really cool! i felt very free during the experience playing
Very satisfying game, loved the sounds, the particles and the movement. Felt very polished. Good job!
