I really like Flow; it was actually one of my inspirations! I wanted to make something like it but from a more action-like perspective. One of the ways that I wanted to be different from Flow was the extra effort needed to figure out paths when you can't see them all at once, and the limited screen size is part of that. Still, though, I'm getting the idea from these comments that people didn't enjoy that very much, so I think I went too far in that direction. (It's definitely helpful to hear from people who've never seen it from the top-down perspective like I have)

That's a good point. I was thinking this game needs a dash button (especially since my original conception of it included combat, with the joined crystals doing one of both of spawning enemies and boosting the player). Potentially a run button instead/as well would be a good idea.

Thanks! The small viewport is actually an intended feature - part of the challenge is supposed to be finding paths with only a small part of the level visible at any given time. In the future, I might add lighting effects so that it's clear that you're only supposed to see small areas (and that would also open the possibility for items that can increase visibility or areas that are always lit up).

Thanks! Yeah, I unfortunately ran out of time to make more levels. I might add more later if I decide to continue this game. As for the columns, it was around 3am when I noticed that and I really didn't feel like fixing it (they're on the same layer as the candles, so I would have had to make an extra tile map).
