Fun game ! I loved the story and the music, really original and cool to control the sparkle and have it actually help you.

Good audio and visual style.

Great job! I really liked use of lighting and tying that into the story! I also thought that controlling two things at once was fun as well! Good work

Very cool concept and a fun game! Really liked the music and the whole feel of the game. ... those scary red, glowing eyes in the dark :O

Very cool firefly effects!

Fun game! I also like the music a lot

Wow, I was really surprised! The music is super fitting because it's very melodic but keeps you on your toes all the time and the game has a perfect difficulty. It took me a little while to get used to having to guide two at once but great job!

Fun game and good atmosphere, I like how the lighting is done here. Feedback was lacking for me though.

It's quite fun to control the fireflies and the idea of the game is quite interesting :) Also thanks for playing my game on stream

Great game. I love how the game works with light. Deciding if you should light a crystal to see or dont light them to save up fireflies. and its cool how the bats get slowed by the light, which adds another layer of strategy. I really enjoyed it.

Great game. keep it up♥

Really great game. The difficulty is very suitable. I only had problems at the beginning, because I did not know that torches can stop the bats.

The idea that you have to leave a firefly behind with each torch, which are also the life of the player, is a super idea.
