Amazing execution of a simple idea! The puzzles were clever and engaging. This is the first jam game I finished.

thank you! I really like your game as well! Really cool pixel art and execution!
A simple concept with beautiful execution. The art style was very mellow and soothing and I like that. You have certainly worked hard to make this game. Nicely done.
thank you!
Simple, but well implemented and polished! Just wish the death indicated which sibling was out of the lamp, sometimes I didn't notice when a sibling was going to be out of the lamp's range. Other than that, great work!
Yes, actually we were thinking of implementing a warning from a lamp if you start going outside (dimming perhaps or turning orange if it was possible to code it in or create it) but honestly we didn't have time to implement those and also other stuff, being only 48 hours and all. We literally made everything from scratch when the jam started (tiles, characters, codes, music, sfx). But thank you for your feedback!
Love the pixel art you have created! Lantern mechanics looks very innovative.
thank you, appreciate the feedback!
Incredible game. Great art, music and mechanics. It feels really polished as well. Great job.
thank you!
Really great art - it's really congruent with the game and itself. The music is also amazing - I had swapped out tabs and forgot that this game was running in the background - so relaxing!
I think that my favourite mechanic in this game is the ability to drop and pick up the lantern. This gives you a lot of design space to work with!
Yes, it's surprising how well it turned out and actually getting all these positive feedback 0.0 because when we were brainstorming, we had just a rough idea to work with. But it became pretty well polished at the end with everyone's contribution :D
Nice mechanics! I liked that different characters have different abilities and that the camera changes the target when holding the lantern. Also, managing distance in some puzzles to survive through that. I read note about checkpoints that they work only if two siblings here. For me, checkpoints don't give enough feedback to player to say "I saved you progress". Just a little different animation would be enough.
Glad you liked the game and thank you for the feedback!
This game looks very polished. Nicely done!
Thank you! We worked pretty hard on it ;)
Pixel art and atmosphere look amazing, I will try this tonight! :)
Awesome!
This was insanely good. By far the best entry I played so far!!
thank you! That means a lot to us!
amazing work, the athmosphere of the game is really nice and the way the brother and sister work together to solve puzzles is great. The light mechanic is what sets it apart from other similar games to me.
Thanks for playing our game :D I also think we ended up with something that's essentially just a chain between the 2 characters, but felt more flexible
the art and tone of the game was really nice.
Yes, it's all thanks to out 2D Artist + 2D animator (and also somehow became eventual Game Lead) Steven! You should check out his work and follow him! He got 7 years of Asperite 2D pixel art + animation experience. Although it couldn't have been done without all of us ;D
Awesome and unique game!
thank you!
love the variety of mechanics you put into this, cute artwork/atmosphere too. jumping w/ both characters at once to stay in the light really rocked my smol brain
thank you! yes, if you are ambidextrous, I imagine it may be easier. Or when you are playing with two ppl, but that's a whole different challenge with communication perhaps ;)
Cute art and good level/puzzle design. The music is nice too.
thank you!!!! very much appreciated xDDD
Very cool and interesting work. Found a bug - throw a cube on a girl. Overall, I liked it, keep up the good work!
Oh! when you throw a cube on a girl, does the girl get stuck perhaps? Would love to know what the bug is exactly so that we can keep it in mind and fix it in the future since we are hoping to develop more complete version of the game even after the jam!
Great concept for the theme with needing both characters to solve puzzles and having them stay close with the lantern light. Cool concept!
thank you very much! we are proud of our work :D
That was fun! The player sprites were nicely drawn and the level design made clever use of the mechanics at play. Nice work!
thank you! appreciate it!
Really good! Nice take on the theme, good Job ^^!
Ha ha yes! we thought it played into the theme pretty well :DD
