Game description
MIDNIGHT GALLERY is a 2D platformer with puzzle elements, where you take on the role of Kassia, a brave and skilled adventurer willing to push the boundaries of the known world. With unparalleled dexterity and an insatiable curiosity, Kassia ventures into the darkest and most mysterious corners of history—places few dare to enter. Her mission is to discover and recover ancient treasures, forgotten artifacts, and priceless relics, all to enrich a museum that relies on these objects to preserve humanity's legacy. Throughout her expeditions, Kassia will face constant challenges, riddles, and dangers that will test both her physical and mental abilities.
Theme interpretation
Taking into account the theme of this Jam, secrets, we had the idea of making an explorer who would reveal the greatest mysteries of humanity, like "El Dorado", making her go through different tests and secret passages, with hidden rewards, all related to the secrets and puzzles.
Wildcards used (optional)
Let players break the rules with things like infinite lives or invincibility

Nice art and level design. But playing on a laptop it's too difficult - it would work better if you had classic controls (e.g. up/w for jump) because these controls are too difficult without a dedicated mouse. Also the right mouse button did nothing - not sure if it was supposed to? Overall found it too difficult to play, the attack was too short range and using mouse for it made it slow to perform, the projectiles were often brown on a brown background, etc. Probably fine if you practiced playing it a lot or play a lot of platformers but it felt like it went straight to 'maximum difficulty' from the start.
interesting video game!
This game was pretty hard but I had fun! I couldn't seem to get the cheat code to work (I love an easy game), but I persevered and enjoyed the two levels. The art was very well done and the audio fit the theme of the game well. Everything felt really polished and I could tell that you folks put a lot of effort into this. Great job!

Fun platformer, I liked the art and the music was great. Nice job!
I found the game to be very entertaining, hard work and fun. It is enough to understand the concept. The environment: landscapes, music and elements are very well designed and in line with the idea. There are quite complicated parts, but I think that's what makes it interesting and adds time to the game. I think it would be interesting to continue with one more level, if there was enough time. I would be the first to try it!
This is a very nice game, produced to a professional standard. The graphics are attractive, the animation is smooth and the audio creates a suitable atmosphere. I like that there are mutliple route options to explore, rather than a linear game. I found it challenging, but that is not a bad thing!
This game has some good pixel art and animations, I just hope that there are some checkpoint in those 2 big levels so I don't have to start all over again.
A very fun 2D platformer with some hidden passages. The levels with different themes are excellent and give a lot of variety to the game, and each puzzle makes sense with its setting
We love it!
Great game, pretty polished with a lot of details. I really enjoyed the traps, the atmosphere and had a great time looking for all of the treasure.
Well, thank you for playing!
Nice game, fun and well finished even if in the artistic part it is too full of details with very saturated colors. I would have worked more on fewer assets and well refined in detail but they are a good starting point.
Right, I agree with the colors (tilemaps/backgrounds artist here). I took some few colors and played with saturations, and maybe I was too far in that mindset.
Thanks for your comments
Loved the game! The art and atmosphere is charming to the fullest. The fast-paced combat, combined with the flashlight mechanic just in case makes it so you can’t take your eyes off the screen for a second, that’s so much fun!
Thanks for playing!

Who doesn't like a game where you can dole out concussions with a shovel? This game is awesome and I'm impressed at the feature complete details you guys were able to get in. Sometimes the hitboxes felt a little harsh (Specifically the arrow traps), but I had a great time figuring out where to go and where to pick up the treasure. You guys clearly put a lot of work into this one. Hats off to you!
I'm glad you enjoyed!
