Design Statement
When listening to the track for the first time, we both immediately envisioned flying through the air without a care in the world. Wichiq had the idea to have the player light up the environment, so we got to work making worlds that try to match the flow and beauty of the song.

Game Instructions (launch steps, controls, and gameplay overview)
Launch steps - In the Quiet Night can be played in the browser by pressing โ€œRunโ€ on the itch page.

Controls - Move your mouse or trackpad to move around, press space once the level is complete to continue to the next.

Gameplay Overview - Light up objects in the environment by touching them; light up enough to continue to the next level.

Very cute concept!! The animations were very cute and well made!

Beautiful game! Loved the music, the flow of the game, and the cohesive background photo and your art. Most importantly, having no rules or restrictions was quite liberating!

Great job!

I loved the way you designed the environments! The city lights in the background and the color palette gave everything such an ethereal feeling. The little musical notes interacting with the lights and details were a lovely touch, and I really liked how smoothly the character animates while following the cursor, along with the rotating moon in the background. The city light windmills were really cool too!

I especially enjoyed the layering in the second world, being able to move down to the ground around the swingset. The teacups in the third world were adorable, and I loved the tent tops and city lightscapes. You did so much with that imagery, and every world had its own charm while still feeling cohesive.

Such a cute  game! Really lovely work!

Developer

Thank you so much for the kind words!! :D I tried something new by photobashing the backgrounds so I'm glad it turned out well!

Very fun experience! The gameplay is very simple but the highlight of the game is definitely the mix between cartoonish and realistic environments! The sound effects were used super well and I love the music as well! The only complaint for this is that its a bit short but thats a good thing because that means I want more of this game! Great work!

Good art direction. Visuals are super dreamy, fits the tone. Hand drawn art, yes please! Music /sfx are a tiny bit loud. Well done!

Developer

Thank you!! I tried to make the visuals look dreamy/surreal by photobashing the backgrounds so I'm glad that came across!

Congratulations for your game, such a nice and chill experience! The way you two handle the music, art direction and narrative as very good (and I'm so happy this is human made!).
As a musician, I loved how the notes played when you lit something fuses with the soundtrack playing. Very nice, amazing, wholesome game. It's 11/10 , like Rokevicius said! 

Developer

Thanks so much!! :D I'm glad you like the music/sound, we tried our best to make it sound nice using free assets since neither of us are musicians lol!
