How does you game fit the theme?
Our character is surrounded by darkness and different entities that he is unaware of. If the torch dies, the enemies appear to "kill" the player.
TIPS:
Obstacles will decrease your torch health. Stay away from them.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
We wrote all the code by scratch, but not the assets.

Nice Game.... ☺
Cool platformer game, I like the art style. But I didn't figure out how to use torch and what is her purpose. As I see now I've realized through comments point of torch. Nice job!
Yeah, sorry about that! And thanks for playing! :)
Allright, nice platformer. While playing I assumed the torch wanted to tell me something and reading comments confirmed this. As the others wrote, a better visual or acoustic representation would improve the experience a lot.
Good job still.
Thank you for playing!
I enjoyed the game, however I didn't realised how the torch works, before I've read comments. Some sound effects for taking damage would be nice. Also sometimes player doesn't jump when I press the button. The visuals are great. Overall, good job!
Thanks! Added some info on the submission for the rest to see. As for the jump.. I'm not sure why it doesn't work for you.. Sorry for that.
Thanks for playing!
The game is very cool and fun to play. Especially the music was great. please rate me, too. https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-8/rate/1681109
Thanks!
The game is fun, mechanics also but at the first I couldn't figure out what's going on. I didn't see a health bar, and when I walked on a trap I didn't notice anything. After reading the comments I understood that the "health bar" is the torch and the traps deals damage. It should be more clear and when taking damage make a visual or sound effect. I like the atmosphere and the music. Overall, nice job!
Thank you! I shall keep that in mind for my future projects!
The game is fun with a nice atmosphere and level design, I like the hidden traps and all but it seems like there is no feedback when you get hit and nothing to show what your hp is.
Thanks for the feedback. The HP is your torch radius, probably should of added that in the info.
I liked the game but I think it should be more obivious what is going on. Does obstacles deals dmg? If no why they look so dangerous? The atmosphere is nice and design make you want to try one more time.
Yeah, sorry for not including any "info" on the traps and such. But yes, everything does "damage" to you and they lower the torch "HP" timer. Thanks for the kind words though! :)
The ambience and atmosphere are beautiful and really gave me the chills. When my torch died for the first time, I was scared out of my mind and actually covered my eyes lol. I didn't go for a horror aspect in my game, but your game (in my opinion) is better.
If you don't mind, could you play and review my game? I need some constructive criticism lol.
