Love everything about the game. The visuals, mechanics and design. It's amazing how polished it is in just 48 hours. Great job!

Really fun and polished game!
I kept running into ghosts when entering their areas though haha, horrible creatures! But yeah it's a lovely style, well worked out gameplay and fun characters :)
Nicely done!
Awesome art and great execution. The level design feels punishing at places, killing the player for stuff they could not have known, but all in all an awesome entry!
Cool looking game but also feels smooth, some very cool things you can do with this. But I do agree with Chartle. Some of those screen transitions are scary! Also how do I know how I make it to the end? I think I found all the light bugs. All in all Good job!
Thank you for playing! I initially did not know how our camera would exactly work, so I kinda winged the level design; and it shows... We'll do an after-jam polish session to decrease/remove those scary transitions. Thank you for the feedback and hope you still enjoyed the game despite the annoyance.
Lovely aesthetic, great concept! The screen transitions were placed a bit unfortunately at some points (having to jump through a transition to get on a platform for example), and enemies were some times unavoidable when first entering a room (which I guess I could have avoided by having the light on, but still). Overall very nice job!
What a beautiful interpretation of the theme, and the pixel art is stunning!
Nice game, very pretty.
I found it a bit unfriendly - is this drop down somewhere I can go or is it death? Also the blocks that reveal themselves in the light only as you jump towards a ledge, causing you to fall to your death when you've just taught me that my light is a source of protection seemed unfair. Perhaps I'm just impatient this morning and having to restart from the beginning each time bothered me?!
Well done, good work, sorry not to offer a more specific bit of praise!

Really interesting concept, the light is really simbolic to "protect" you from the darkness.
