The torch mechanic was really cool!

I'm not a big fan of the cutscene showing the level and the saw being right in my face by the time the cutscene was done with little time to react. There also should've been a controls list somewhere in the game. The death sounds were amusing though.

This one is kinda difficult for me to rate.

Objectively, It had something going for it until I got rekt not knowing where I was, and just laughed out of a weird confusion mixed with the kinda slapstick humour you’d see in Monty Python. I was kinda sorta confusedly entertained in a way I can describe it like that: slapstick humour.

Subjectively, I remember very vividly trying to do stuff like this, but being so scared of releasing it that I never did. Took me 10 years to take the courage to actually release something. You took the leap of faith, regardless of whatever bug or design issue, or anything. In a game jam, a released but flawed game is better than a beautiful project on your computer. Because you have something to show to the world, you are a game dev.

the mouse needed less delay tho, lost the lil guy. rip in pepperoni.

let the bro cook they onto somethin/10

Cool game, thou the camera showing the level is a bit annoying and unnecessary, but the death sounds are funny lol

Hope that you'll also play mine https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-12/rate/2973690

I liked the atmosphere, but i don't like jumping games in general, so i didn't finish it, especially since after every fail i had to rewatch the same "cutscene". But good job!

The metal clanking sounds made me burst out laughing for some reason. Really cool game though and a cool use of the torch!

The torch mechanic added a fresh and challenging layer to the platforming experience! I loved the creative atmosphere and the fun sound effects. The game had a few frustrating moments, like falling during the cutscenes, but overall, the gameplay was engaging and well-designed. A few more introductory levels to ease into the difficulty curve would make it even better. Great job!

I absolutely love the torch mechanic and wish it was utilized in more, different way aside from finding the path forward. All in all, a really great platformer and super impressive. Adding coyote time would make the platforming feel even better.

Thanks for sharing with my stream! Here's the VOD to your game: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2254453937?t=03h41m36s

There's a lot to like in this. The use of mouse control for lighting was neat but also adds a new level of challenge.  The production values were great, with how the camera would provide an intro to the levels and all the funny death sounds. That being said, I think the intro scene for levels should probably only happen the first time. With a game like this, having a quick restart to jump back into the challenge keeps things motivating.

Thank god for double jump though, eh? 

The death sfx were really funny, heheh.

I really liked the game but sometimes it was a bit hard for me to control! The sound was really high quality, many games didn't even have enough time to add. I can say u did very good w this game! ☺

It was sooooo much fun, great game indeed, one of my favourites now, but it is too hard :D, isn't it? is it just me not being skillfull enough lol :D.

the idea of controlling both character and the light is awesome, and hardness of the game makes it fun, I really had fun playing it, I will keep it and try to complete later :D .

falling sounds are verry funny good job there as well :D

Here is my game if someone wants to check

Interesting game! I think to improve it:

• The torch reveal animations and cutscenes are really cool and interesting, but even starting as early as on the first hard level, it gets pretty repetitive and it slows down gameplay a lot to check this again and again and negatively affects replayability right off the bat in a pretty significant way. 
  • Taking for example the level that's preceded by the text saying it's hard and reminding you to double jump:
    • I think both the initial torch showing from the right where it reveals the level, and the one where it shows it coming from the left along with the giant red saw should be both skippable by pressing a key on the keyboard. 
    • Those who want to see it again can just not press it and just watch it how many times they want, while those who want to just try the level again can press it twice to skip both and then they're able to try to play the level again as quickly as possible.
      • Actually, to be even better, I think it should just be once to skip both of them. So if someone waits they see all of it. If they press a key instead, they skip right to the part where you would be standing at the beginning after both torch cutscenes and the saw should be immediately to your left coming at you and you can start playing.
      • It's really weird because you're able to move and die during the cutscenes, which makes me feel like it may have even been intentional.
        • Instead, I think it's unnecessary padding, (whether you meant it or not), and should be tweaked.
          • However it's not game breaking, so it should be considered after the jam, not now.

Other than the above the lighting effect is really cool and the concept with the torch is interesting. The sound effects are cool as well and some of them sound kind of funny. Nice job!

A really awesome platformer game. wish it had some more quality of life but its a game jam so who cares.
Audio is really good, graphics dont disappoint either. Gameplay is pretty good too.

8.5/10 :)

Very cool game!

Challenging nice game with cool death sounds :D Torch gave this platformer nice flavor

Nice game. Definitely a challenge with the combo of moving the knight and using the torch. Amazing. And great sound effects, especially when falling.
