Thank man, I spended a lot of time tweaking the light to give it a night city vibe. Also tested a lot on how the light would look after player collected it so that the light wont just pop out and disappear and actually looks like it dont have enough power and slightly dim away, and fade back in after it regains power. And I know to emphasize the feeling of neon light, I had to implement a dynamic lighting system. It is something that you may not notice until someone point it out, but it is the detail that makes the difference. I'm actually surprised by how little people implement dynamic light in to game as having that or not can make a great impact on the game's atmosphere. I have add a list of events and interactable items on the map and a recommented route under the game desciption. Check it out if you are still interested!

First off, I am extremely sorry for the insensitive comment that I made earlier. I truly apologize, and after replaying your game, I realize how much work and thought went into it, and how much FUN it is!

In my first playthough, I mostly ran across the ground and played with the neon blast, admiring the well drawn sprites and nice lighting in the process, but I was very confused on what to do, and if there was more content. I tried to climb the left wall, but had no success, so I thought that that was the end of the game and that you just didn't have enough time to add more before the jam submission period, so I stopped playing.

Then, a day later, I saw your comment. I can relate to how you're feeling about the time crunch and not being able to add everything that you wanted, as I too worked till the last minutes of the jam submission period adding things to my game. So, I decided to redownload your game and give it another playthrough, and boy was I very surprised!

I don't know what was wrong with me on the first playthrough (maybe it was because I was running on 0 hours of sleep), but I figured out how to get on top of the leftmost building using the neon blaster (which I tried the first playthrough, but I think I just thought that you couldnt get up there, and I think my timing of the neon blast was off), and it's not even hard to do! After that I jumped from building to building, exploring the world, and essentially was just blown away that I wasn't able to experience this on the first playthrough. And, after learning that there is a dash in the game from your updated game page, I made it to the end of the game, and it was a fun experience platforming across the rooftops!

I also wrote down some notes on the game during my second playthrough, and thought I would share them, in case you were planning to continue the game, or even for your next game.

Things I really liked about the game.

- Visuals are really good. The lighting looks cool. The text animation looks great, and the player animations are very smooth.

- Movement mechanics are very fun to use, and work very well for traversing the level. I really like walljumping with a mix of neon blasting and dashing, as it allows you to climb walls that you thought you thought were unclimbable.

- The double dash is an awesome reward. I won't spoil how to get it, but its really cool that it requires a challenge to get to it.

- Reexploring the world after the double dash is a great way for the player to rethink their surroundings and explore more.

- Experience no bugs, besides the poster under the green neon sign, but you already addressed that in your game page.

Some suggestions.

- Invert dash direction to align with neon blaster (unless you're going for a more difficult execution for wall climbing). When wallclimbing, I would jump to the wall, neon blast downwards, jump off the wall, neon blast downwards again, and then quickly move my mouse to where I want to dash, which felt very unintuitive at first. I feel like if the dash direction was the same as the neon blast, it would make it easier to wallclimb, but perhaps it might make it more unintuitive to dash if you were only dashing at first (as I was only neon blasting at first).

- Faster charge rate for ability usage (perhaps only when you're on the floor). I found myself using all of the abilities and depleting the meters, and when I wanted to continue exploring, I would have to wait awhile for the meters to recharge.

- More responsive jump. Alot of times I would jump across a platform and try to jump to another platform but the jump did not register and I would fall to the ground. I noticed that there is a delay after landing that you have to wait for in order for the game to check if you are jumping. I prefer being able to spam jump rather than having a delay to wait for.

Again, I am sorry for the insensitive comment. I really just thought that it was unfinished, and so I wrote the game off early. I'm glad to be wrong and loved replaying it, especially running and jumping across the rooftops. I will continue to play and see if I missed any secrets, even after seeing the end. I wish you luck on your future development prospects, and would love to see more of this game if you continue to work on it after the jam, or anything else you may create! And for you and me both, we should probably take better care next time and not push ourselves so hard on the next jam (that means no overnights!). Later!
