Heeeey, I loved the game, arts are very charming and the idea is great too. Great game! Well done <3

Oh, I saw that one on discord during development and it already sparked my interest there.

Playing through it now, I really like the whole atmosphere and level design. I think it's understandable that this has more polish than a game developed by a single person, nevertheless great job team!

Nice game. it's stronger with his head. like RainCloud game that she is stronger with the fox.

O hey, you did a metroidvania for this jam too :D Pretty sweet!

You've nailed the atmosphere for this game. The graphics are super pretty and the audio is pretty haunting, which ties in well with the whole light theme. I can see that a lot of love and effort went into the aesthetic of this game, and I enjoyed exploring the nooks and cranny of the map.

I think the gameplay itself could be a lot more smoother, especially the combat system. There's a delay on the sword attack, which makes killing  enemies awkward, and there isn't much visual cues or feedback for when the enemies attack. Dying should also not restart the whole game - it should put you at a checkpoint somewhere. I also wasn't sure of the point of launching Lumi other than grabbing an orb or breaking a wall, so I feel like more could have been done with that mechanic. Finally, this game needs an ending - it feels pretty unsatisfying going through the whole map and reaching that big room only for nothing to happen afterwards.

Overall, great game and beautiful world , making a metroidvania in a week is no easy feat. You guys should be proud.

Loved the ambience of the game. Maybe there is a collider issue because the head got stuck between platforms during the playthrough. The level was designed very well and everything felt smooth!

Perfect!The character is lovely!I suggest adding a helping page showing basic operations.

What a wonderful and beautiful game! The first time I played I did use the abilities haha but I played it again as per your advice. Really wonderful concept in a wonderful map. I know lighting is a huge part of the game, but It feels like such a shame to hide such a pretty world in complete darkness. Overall amazing game!

Oh des français ! Petit jeu très sympa ! dommage que vous n'ayez pas eu le temps de le finir mais ça reste très bien. Félicitation pour le visuel, c'est très impressionnant pour un jeu de game jam

Déjà, merci d'avoir fait un platformer jouable a la manette, si je peux vous donner un petit conseil par rapport a ca, pensez a mettre une deadzone d'au moins 5-10 % car parfois j'avais un peu de mal a me placer correctement pour attaquer. En tous cas ce petit jeu était sympa, la map était bien faite, je regrette juste qu'il n'y ai pas de réelle fin après le dernier combat, ou alors je suis passé a coté ^^'. Good job

This game was a ton of fun! It definitely feels like the base for a great metroidvania. My head got stuck in the wall at one point and I couldn't get it out. Even when I died and restarted I still couldn't get my head to go back on.

Please check out my game if you have a chance!

The character is super nice to look at, the movement feels fluid and battling enemies is nice, also the map in one of the images is appreciated in case you get lost. Perhaps the only criticism (which is not so serious) is to know how much life I have when enemies hit the head.

This is our game in case you want to play it, feedback is very welcome!

I really liked the game design and sound effects (just a bit too loud). I just struggled against some walls but had fun overall. Great job on this one !

The art looks amazing, and the idea is really cool, but there are some parts that are a bit rough around the edges. Overall it's a good game. 

I like when you get hit instead of recieving damage you and Lumi separate and you have to get back together asap. The only problem I see here is that sometimes Lumi gets stuck in a wall or is too out of reach

Hey ! 

First, I liked the idea of the throwable flame head as a projectile, but also as your -almost- only light source. Unfortunately, I ran into some bugs that'd get me into a softlock situation. :(

For example, my head would fall on the ground and just be stuck right there. If in a bad place, I really couldn't get it back.

I also had the head stuck into the ground, with no hope of getting it back. That's too bad, since I would have loved seeing more of the game. But globally, good job ! That's pretty nice for one week ! 

I thought the visuals and audio were fantastic. Really some high quality stuff there. However, I had some issues with gameplay stuff. Not sure if it was only me with these issues, but the explosion ability almost always did nothing, and when I tried spamming it, it would launch Lumi in the direction I aimed, but would not break the wall I shot at, and sometimes Lumi would not go back on the skeleton's body after this. One time Lumi even got stuck under the ground and wouldn't come back to the body. Other than bugs, I felt the sword swings were pretty delayed, and it wasn't super clear when the enemies were being hit. I did like the aesthetic and the general atmosphere that was set up for the game. I felt that the placement of the level geometry was well thought out when it comes to a platformer. Sorry to be so critical, but I think you definitely have potential and this was a good effort.

Nice idea. I love how light is effectively playing the role of the hp bar.  Separating the head and the body looks cool. I managed to unlock dashing the legit way haha.

The game objective wasn't very clear though.

I'd appreciate it if you could play and rate my game as well :)

I loved this game. The controls were simple and when you unlocked new abilities, you were told the controls and were able to pick them up quickly. As soon as you got an ability, it had a use so that was some great level design. I loved the lighting and the music, that and the art tied it all together! What a great game, well done all of you! (Also liked the floating head and the magnet physics when the skeleton is near the head. The main menu looked really nice).

I like the idea and art style! if there is some background music it would be nicer. The head is cute ><
