This game looks amazing and is very fun to play! I liked how each character looks and each of their abilities, until I got to the clock. He just wouldn't trigger for me? It seemingly just used its power randomly so I ended up going through the clock's levels by just running for it. Overall a very cool concept and a cute game! Some frustration with the lack of information such as what lever did what and the clock but I enjoyed it! Well done!
Sorry for not getting a chance to play your game during a stream but I am running out of time and had a hefty amount of games to get through so I am just playing and rating at this point! Thank you for your understanding :D
I love a puzzle platformer! The transitions could've been faster, especially at the beginning, and the puzzles were pretty easy, but I can see a strong concept here! I'd like to see it again with a little more polished mechanics.
I liked the lighting and the use of darkness for the light partners. However I felt that failing a level got rather tedious especially with all the waiting for moving platforms.
Cool idea with a cute protagonist, but a lack of checkpoints made mistakes frustrating to deal with as a player. Overall a cool concept!
