Love this game, Played it a few times
Oh man, that makes me happy! Thank you so much!
Really good! This is so nostalgia inducing, probably that pico ingredient ^^ I managed to get every cross, but on the later levels there weren't any to get? Could have been twice as long and I'd have kept going, really good game! :)
What a star. Thank you for the comments.
Yeah, I sort of ran out of time. I focused on making sure the levels were do-able, rather than the coffins (whoops!).
Good luck with your submission :)
Lovely, love the balance difficulty spike, I only got 4923. Nicely done.
nice game, the insta kill is hard but fair and i love the bulb concept congratulations
Nice platformer.
Level changes keep it interesting, and was sad when reached the end. Loved the lights/mini-suns. The umbrella felt like I was cheating, maybe usage could be on a timer.
The ~5 seconds before the first cloud appearing meant i died a few times at first trying to work out what to do, but once I figure it out, it was fun. Good work!
REALLY glad you enjoyed it mate. Yeah, I had thought of making the umbrella on a timer. I had also hoped to mix and match some of the mechanics. But boy is 64x64 difficult to work with!
Thanks for the feedback :)
Cool platformer with a nice twist.
Loved the timing mechanic you implemented.
The small replayable scenarios as a kindof
savepoint is also great.
More so since many scenarios were tough to complete
It took me some time to discover Z key was used to restart though.
The default Pico-8 message was no clear to me. "O to restart"
Thanks, and well spotted on the "Z" key (sorry about that). I'll update the details once the jam is complete.
Thanks for the playing and good luck with your entry :)
Clever idea for a platformer!
Thank you. And I loved your game too !!
I was really hoping someone would do something with vampires when I saw the themes. Nice job!
Glad I hit the spot. Good luck with your entry :)
Fun, hard, and simple game concept. I really enjoyed my playthrough. It did take me a while to finish some of the levels. Good work!
Thanks maiza. I am pleased you said it took a while. I played it so often I began to think it was too easy!
Appreciate the feedback :)
Very consistent, I liked it. A bit ruthless but I dig it.
I didn't do particularly well (just 4881), but I had fun! I liked the variety of levels that you had—it didn't feel like I was doing the same thing over and over again, which can be a problem that puzzle games had.
Man, that’s a toasty sun. No rest for the undead here :) I love your idea, and the other takes on jam entries that I see around. It is inspiring. Thanks.
Haha! He burns pretty quick!
Thank you for the kind words. Really appreciated.
Puzzles and mechanic perfectly fit. Great work! I'm really enjoyed :P
Solid core mechanic, somewhat rough and finicky but enjoyable nonetheless! Like Wes said the colors could use some work.
Yeah, I look at all the other games and see such great palettes.
PICO-8 only has 16 colours. Damn annoying!
But thank you for the feedback. :)
I liked the puzzles. Nice game.
You know you're onto something when dying in a game makes you laugh. Lovely puzzles. Difficult but not frustrating and witty. I'm only stopping playing now because I have another 400 games to play (but I'll probably come back and try to finish it).
Fun game - nice use of the optional theme. I would recommend experimenting with color palettes to really push the idea that you’re lurking in the shadows and that you don’t want to be in the sunlight. The light blue sky does not feel threatening in my opinion. Tweaking the colors could really make this game more immersive.
Great stuff, thank you for the feedback. I was somewhat limited by the PICO-8's 16 colour palette. That being said, I may have been able to get more creative. Good luck with your entry :)
Oh, I see. No worries - just trying to give people constructive feedback! I think I'll have to give PICO-8 a try sometime.
Fun game, simple concept but works well.
Thank you sir. Just ab it annoyed I didn't have more time!
Sometimes I die when I'm on the border of the shadow, but really I'm in the shadow!
I like it, anyway.
In fact, this is the first idea that I had, and I dropped it.
