How does your game meet GBJam's theme?
The spooky theme inspired the lights on/off mechanic in my game. When the lights go off, spooky monsters appear and visible is reduced. In contrast to when the lights are on, there are no monsters and a happy theme is played. I limited my art to 4 colors as required for the GB theme.

Great idea with the lights on/off mechanic! The platforming took some getting used to, but it's a really fun game overall!
Love the idea of the game, and love the style too! Going from light to dark and navigating across a level was great. Was just a little too hard and kept getting stuck and caught. Solid effort though, you should be proud of this one!
Felt the character getting stuck on walls a lot and getting caught because of it. If the player was less "sticky" it would be a blast to run from these guys.
No notes on graphics
Great idea for a game! I got stuck for a bit at the place where you walk on invisible blocks lol. Also cute graphics.
I really enjoyed the minimalist approach to this game! Very clever!
I really like the cute art style, but it was hard to jump from the bed to that platform, the overall difficulty might discourage people to continue playing
Fun, and quite difficult!
