The concept was really good....

Jumping around as the light depletes faster...

Make it speedrun game as well... Would be even better...

I don't know why I haven't rated this yet, it's a great game. The art and level design is great! It has a good difficulty, the truth is that it is a great job! very well done Spooky💛

It's true, I didn't remember, I'm sorry, I have the memory of a fish XD

Nice! I like the fact that you insert hints inside the game! I prefer this way to learn gameplay! Game has very cool dynamic and conception similar to our game. No light = death. Like it! Good job 5/5

i dont have words. its perfect i played it again today.

i give very few 5 stars all around but this game deserves major props bc somehow in a week you were able to create a captivating game that, while being a 2D platformer, feels fresh, moves great, looks great and utilizes light in such a way that feels unique and new. I wasn't expecting to see anything nearly this polished after only a week, so the fact that you were able to come up with a game that, in my opinion, is easily releasable today is absolutely insane. I don't have much feedback at all beyond that it's really fun, really hard (in a good way), and plays like a knife through warm butter (that is, very easy to get into). If i was any better at platformers I'd crush fr (i am bad at platformers)

My only thing is that I'm not a big fan of mouse to aim? just because the movement is such a big part of it it can be difficult to align your mouse to the bug location (they are so cute) to shoot while the screen is moving. That's up to you though, really more of a small fix imo and its the only issue I had

you should totally set this up as a speedrunnable game bc it lends itself to that genre of gamer very very very well

great work 11/10 :)

HEYY I REMEMBER YOU FROM ANOTHER GAME JAM!!! HOW ARE YOU. I'm going to play Ur game now

Submitted

Update: cant get past the tutorial, I'm playing on a tablet connected to keyboard so I don't have a mouse to kill them. Clicking doesn't register. I'll rate it when I get back home 

Developer

btw you uh dont kill em, you shoot em so they produce light😀. But thanks!!

Submitted

Nice! Love the color palette and the art style

Submitted

this is my favorite game i have played so far. the jumping feels great, nice and squishy. if your light meter just refilled immediately when you got into light it would be great for speedrunnning. 

Submitted

In terms of art, there’s not much to say. The game is really cute, simple overall, but functional and pleasant, so it works perfectly. The light mechanics are great. I did feel like the dash mechanics were a bit "stiff," but it’s a very minor thing (just me nitpicking). Overall, the game turned out really cool. Congratulations!

Submitted

Love the art style, lots of fun mechanics, this was extremely well done!!!! I'd love to see more levels or mechanics added in the future <3

Submitted

really really cool game! The levels feel very thought out and i love the art style.
