Awesome game. Speedrunning potential is immense. The short, tight level design combined with the genius use of the theme mixed with the limitation by making your light bigger with speed makes this game a full 5 stars to me. Amazing presentation and game feel, and the high score system is awesome.

I’m loving this game from the bottom of my Celeste filled heart, I’m totally down to speedrun this for 60 hours if it comes out as a full version

Hah, I might spend a week setting up individual leaderboards per level and making a bunch more levels, but no promises :)

I like the idea but the controls were in my case quite hard to work with. the postprocessing was a little hard to see through but I really like the look of the game!

Ooh, great take on the limitation - slowing down makes the light go out, and in some levels lack of light pretty much leads to certain death. I like it.

I am not good enough to be in the highscore but I spend kinda while with your game. Nice work! Keep going! :)

Woohoo top of the leaderboard!! Amazing game all round. Love the style and really satisfying to play!

Very good! Genius idea to include an online leaderboard for a jam game - however, the controls sometimes felt a bit too sensitive. Overall great game with amazing polish!

By far, my favorite so far!! Loved the extreme effects, like playing Atari on my mama's TV :D I was absolutely screaming at this game haha. I rage quit at level 8. 5 stars.

This game is fun! I thought the post-processing effects were a little much, but I think the rest of the visual effects (particles, light etc.) actually work very well with the simple artstyle of the game. Good work, and please make sure to eat :))

Yea I might have gone a bit too hard on the effects. Considered adding in a toggle setting for it, but the menu was getting a bit cluttered already
