How does your game match the theme?
In addition to taking place in outer space, this game is about the "negative space" created as the main character's light casts hard shadows against the enviornment.

Great game full of platformers mechanics.
Hard shadows give a great atmosphere, but with quick movements can produce some dizziness.
wow that's cool !
i really liked the atmosphere and the graphics which give a great character to everything.
and the music is truly amazing !
bravo :) very cool game
Man, the atmosphere. The space vibe is captured so strongly. That lonely isolation. The darkness as you explore.
And then a monster just chases you and you immediately panic. That was such a brilliant moment. Wish we had one last chase as you ran to the escape pod after the 3 doors opened.
Double jump was alright, could have more impact. The speed booster felt slow. But I liked breaking walls, you should lean into that use and make it explosive.
I hope you expand on the idea, the atmosphere would be incredible. Goodluck :D

Ohh, I liked this one a lot!
A great sense of mystery and progression.
The music, level designs and mechanics come together neatly to make something special :)
Super solid!! Really complete experience which is impressive for a 10 day Jam, great gameplay, intense moments, awesome atmosphere. Great job!
I am very surprised that this is the first comment.
The game is very atmospheric, I absolutely love the sound, even though it's more ambient and surround than classic 8bit. I would't say that this game has a lot from the gameboy style, but it definitely has a lot of soul. Love it.
