I felt the difficulty was well tuned with how forgiving the checkpoints were. It was really fun!

So many different mechanics in here, I really enjoyed it - even though it was sometimes pretty unforgiving with how precise you had to be with your movements. I hope you keep developing it. Also big fan of the protagonist design - well done!

Developer

Thank you for your feedback!

I had a hard time creating levels that didn't seem rushed, and some of them turned out to be too hard. Feel free to share if you have a specific part that you think should be changed.

with how precise you have to be with the movement, it kinda reminded me of Hollow Knight

Developer

Is there a specific part that you think should be made easier?

Submitted(+1)

Yeah, this bit was infernal (intentionally, or unintentionally)

The last part (windmills in to electricity) is also hard, but not quite that bad.

Developer(+1)

I'll see about making both of those easier. I was struggling to come up with levels that built on and combined the existing mechanics without making them seem rushed and thrown together.

Thank you for your feedback!

Cute game! I think you should keep building on this concept!

Cool game. I like how everything fit together. I also liked how the lighthouses really lit up the area, and once you got further away the darkness would increase a little.

Very nice little platformer with a good atmosphere, I appreciate that you did NOT include music, the same choice I made for my game. It gives it a gentle and appealing atmosphere!

Submitted(+1)

It's cute

I like the gentle animations both the player and important elements have

I think music could add to it, though it has a nice atmosphere still

I don't have much to say, it was a cool little plateform game and very original that fit the theme like a charm, 

I have a sugestion you could try adding some stuttering effect to the light to make it more alive/struggling to avoid being extinguishe
