Amazing idea and an impressive first jam entry—congrats!
The melting mechanic is very interesting, and I hope you continue developing it.
With a bit of polish, I can imagine wishlisting it!
Cheers!
Really amazing puzzle game. Maybe I missed it but a key to restart a level could be nice, I've been blocked on a level (beacause of bad move) and unable to restart from where I was. Anyway, original entry !
Yes, that is something that has been on my list of things I need to add once the voting is over.
This was really cute, I just wish there was more!
Thank you. So far 3 more levels have been made to be added once the jam is over with a 4th being almost done. Just 1 more bug to fix in that one and I'll have doubled the amount of levels.
Really enjoyed this simply but elegant puzzle game. Would love to play more levels and found out what happens to Shadow and Melt.
Thank you. I have been working on more levels since the submission and will update the game on itch once the voting is over.
I love it! The core mechanic of switching between light and dark characters is really clever and makes for really cool puzzles, as well as for the fun dialogue. It's a shame you couldn't finish more and add sound, but still a great concept. It'd be great to see that being explored further!
Thank you! I've continued to work on it after the submission period was over and have nearly doubled the available levels. Will update the game as soon as the voting period is over with the new levels. Still no audio though. I've have yet to figure out what to do about that.
I always pressed space to jump... in this game really a bad idea :D
Yeah, might need to change the button to switch the light to something else.
Cool concept, it's a shame you didn't get to add more levels I would've liked to see you expand on the mechanic.
Thank you. I've got 2 more levels made that will be added after the jam and plan on adding more. The game was too fun to work on to stop.
Great, make sure to upload it on the #updated-jam-games channel when you do then it'll be easy to find.
