Damn, I looked away and the game ended, wished there was more to this. The character is very slippery but otherwise not much to complain about, I like the darkness/lighting effect.

I really enjoyed it, it's a short game but it does its job.

An overall nice and cool game, for simple mechanics and art, with various vfx that resemble the title. The only thing I can criticize is maybe the player movement on the ground are a little bit to slippery (HTML version) and the speed boost, even if it ncessary for make progress, makes it more obvious.

I reiterate I liked the game and the atmosphere, good job

I liked the overall atmosphere of the game. The abilities following you around was a neat way to show what abilities you had collected.

That was cute, wouldve liked some more content but i did like the adding more light mechanic

Here you go!

That was a fun little five minutes! Nice use of lock before key design, well done. Slipperiness on the controls bugged me. Nice touch with the text bits, too.

Hello,

An incredibly well executed game. Everything is well done. Great level design to tease the abilities before getting them, and a couple of good platforming sections to test the player.

I liked the concept of increasing light. And I also like the storytelling technique of hearing MC's thoughts.

Let me know if you expand on the game, I would like to play more!

Congratulations,

Cheers

PS: don't hesitate to try and finish our game :)

Short and sweet, a nice little game!

Short but showed it was very well thought of every step of the way. Nice slippery mechanics and cute narrative. Don't really have any complaints except maybe adding additional WASD controls for those who are a creature of habit like myself. Has so much potential, would definitely come back if more levels were implemented. 

P.S: Any feedback on our game would be greatly appreciated too!
