Judge feedback
Judge feedback is anonymous.
- A game that mixes Spelunky and skeletons. This game uses light and darkness to generate its exploration mechanics. Investigate around the dungeon and turn on your flashlight more to dodge obstacles! As an improvement, it would be interesting to correct some collisions with spikes, as even if you don't touch them you die, and it can feel unfair.
Challenges
Open Source
Build it with Phaser

Really enjoyed the sound and movement. Wish it had lives bc i suck at games😭
Lol thank you! That is a good idea! I think lives would fit well if I continued to expand this!
I have to say fantastic platformer the movement feels incredibly smooth and the style is good. Excellent job!
Neat challenging little platformer! Explanation of controls and lightning increasing light power would be nice.
Thanks! That is a great idea!
Really nice platformer! I thought the movement was solid and I liked the art style. Great work!
cool platformer, i like the power-mechanic with the lantern.
Very cool mechanic. I also got the treasure!
Cool game.
Enjoyable I wasn't able to get the treasure though
Glad you enjoyed it! once you get a few light power-ups you may need to backtrack to see the path to the treasure!
Movement kinda janky but i love the environement and lighting !
Very cool game 👍👍 :D
Thanks for playing!
The differences in the background were really hard to read, even with the light powerups! Once I learned the layout of the level though it was easier, though I was disappointed a bit once I got the treasure and it just reset again haha. Also there was a bit of an a bug for me at least where the music would sometimes start overlapping and playing multiple instances at once, but it actually sounded great haha. Overall well done!
Thanks for your response that is all great feedback :)
The sound of dying is hilarious! It keeps me playing this game. The light mechanic is a good find!
Awesome! glad you liked it!
Really cool game! I liked the audio a lot!!
Thank you! It was my first attempt at making audio for a game, I think it turned out well too!
Good
Why not great xD
getting a sword is much easier than collecting light. Apart from that, this game is good because it really tests your patience. There is no difference whatsoever in picking up a sword or getting pricked by a thorn, in the end back to starting point. I mean, when you get pricked by a thorn it will confirm you are dead or something like that. And if you take the sword, it will confirm you win.
Thank you, that is really good feedback!
This game tested my patience, but i stuck it out and found the treasure, once I realized i didnt really have to keep getting the increased light pickups it made it alot more bearable. it was really cool being right next to a path but not seeing it till coming back later with more light. and liked the graphics style alot.
Thanks so much! Maybe next you can go for a speed run lol!
Good short game !
Thanks! I like shorter games myself. I would like to expand it to be a little longer tho!
Good Game. Imaginative use of the theme.
Thank you :)
Is that sword is reachable? and the use of the light is great
Thank you so much! Yes, it is! If you look at the screenshots maybe you will get a hint. Also getting more power-ups might help you see more paths. good luck :)
Well done. Gosh this is a frustrating game! Good use of the lighting
Thank you! What can I say, I made what I like to play! I know the game would be a little easier if the hit boxes were better so that is something to work on in the future!
Good job with the light! Just dying too much... but nice work!
Thank you for playing! After the jam I would like to make the game a bit more forgiving!
Not bad at all. There's some audio bug but, hey, it's a game jam we don't need to be perfect! Really like the take on the light use.
Thank you so much for playing and pointing out the bug. I am not used to working with audio but hoping to get better at it!
