First game? 15 years old? AMAZING! Great work. Keep it up.

I liked the game, and loved the concept. The different candles and colours to reveal different platforms was a great idea. And the puzzle ideas it offers up are cool, and you made some great decisions in that regard.

I did find the controls very unintuitive. I think there's a better way to switch between candles that feels more natural. Maybe use the mouse to click the candle you want to light up or something? Just so the player can see the controls instead of thinking about the controls.

Other than that though, awesome game concept. I played right through to the end. I did just guess where the platforms were a couple of times, but I liked that part. It made it feel like there were more ways to solve the puzzle and I felt clever. Nice work.

Cheers, hope to see more games from you!

when I was your age I couldn't write a single line of code, congrats for this entry! :)

This looks like your first game submitted to a game jam? Congrats!

Here are my notes, I hope you take it as constructive feedback:

• I did not understand the light system initially at all. I thought the browser version of the game was broken and the platforms were invisible. It wasn't until I read @AsePlayer's comment about the lighting effects that I went back and realized that somehow I could switch lights and they'd show the platforms.
• I was able to skip a lot of the platforms (I only needed blue & red) to beat the whole game
• I did not find the controls intuitive. I dropped the more than half a dozen time by mistake and each time I was scared I'd move and lose it forever stuck somewhere in the darkness lol
• Probably adding a light respawn is a good idea because of the above
• More expansive level or other levels would expand the rewardingness of the game

Best of luck, hope to see more games.

Fun game once I was able to grasp the candle controls; they are a little jank but not too bad

Beautiful art and the candle lighting effects were dope too
