Sick game! Fun idea and easy to add some fun new mechanics like you did! I am more a fan of the puzzles than the precision lamp placing :D

Submitted

really clever, original concept, and great implementation of both themes. 

it got pretty challenging pretty quickly, but I like that in a game.   visuals were great.  only one suggestion:  when placing a lamp, maybe the LIGHT of the lamp (as opposed to the middle of the lamppost) could be placed at the cursor position.  i feel like that would be more intuitive.  other than that, i think the mechanics are great!

good art and i like mechanics

Nice puzzle game with cute visuals and audio.
Had fun trying to complete the levels.
As already stated the hitboxes were maybe a bit harsh.
Also saw just a little bit of UI
Theme was checked.
Overall good fun concept and well done!

very good concept, some of the levels were a bit annoying with the hitboxes and the distances

I ran into an issue with extracting the RAR.
Update: Fixed it somehow.
Feedback: The concept is cool! Though I feel there should be some way to restart the level on death.
Loved the art and colours!

you can restart the level by using r

Thanks. Maybe I didn't read that description properly.

wasn't able to extract from RAR.  might be an issue with my computer, but I can usually open RAR files.

Developer

try not extracting it,but instead just opening the exe file

Submitted

turns out, i needed to install winRAR, and then it worked fine!  👍

Easy to understand mechanics that make for fun puzzles. Got a little annoyed at cases where I failed because things just barely scrape each other. But other than that I had fun!

Submitted

Liked the puzzles in this game! As others mentioned some of the hitboxes took some figuring out, but in the end I had fun. The 'bug' where lamps were deleted when placed on spikes was a tad annoying to get right, but in the end I managed quite some levels. Loved the art style!

Submitted

Really enjoyed the simplicity of it. I struggled a lot with the hitboxes of the lamps but got past a few hard levels. Assets looked great!

Submitted

Cute Game, I think the spikes have a bit too punishing of hitboxes, I feel you could have did this without the UI Lanterns in the corner pretty easy if you just do something like make the lanters float around the lil ghost or something , but overall I like it!
