Super cute game, love the time speedup mechanic! It'd be cute to include a little sundial UI to show you where the sun is at night too. Fun platforming and solid gameplay, well done!

Loves the minimalstic clean pizel art and I once started vibing to the music restarted the game and set the music settings to max! I did accidentally bug out at the end of the second level by over shooting the end and found myself in a forever spiral in the grey abyss... A kill floor and some additionally boundaries is all that should be needed. Awesome job!!!

Cool platformer! Although I got stuck during the night time at the double jump, and then I thought: Man I wish there was like a sleep mechanic to this game.... and there was!!! Haha, but the music was so good I didnt look for a button right away. Also love that dunkey sprite. Its great. Thanks for the game!

The sunlight mechanic is very cool. I also like the music. I wasn't able to make the first double-jump...

What an awesome game! The mechanic with the light opens up so many interesting possibilities for levels, and I love how you use your new abilities to reach the new levels! Great design!

Very well done on the visuals/presentation. It's cool just to look at the scene as you fast forward with the shadows circling around and the rays casting highlights on the character. The sounds add to the vibe, really well done overall!

This is delightful. The little sounds of the flower going into the pot and the shooting sounds, the Z to rest and the way the light goes along, speeds up, and your energy bar mattering for the double jumps...all of it meshes together really peacefully. The music is a bit quiet, which is a shame since I also thought it added wonderfully to the vibe! This is so well-designed.

Thank you! The volume settings start at 50% so you should be able to turn up the music if needed :)
