Nice visuals  and aesthetic. Some audio would make it really pop.   I was unable to do the  fight the boss. Lost my sword after destroying the last engine block like it was consumed and was teleported into the boss fight without one.

A few parts were a bit confusing, perhaps I missed something? :) Like when I picked up "water" I could give it away as a "camera", and I didn't understand what I was supposed to do with the lightbulb? :o

I liked the style a lot! Low contrast without loosing detail, I had a lot of trouble with the boss, I really wanted to beat it but I was not skilled enough. Darn! I believe much of the reason I gave up was due to the absence of feedback. I didn't see the health of the boss and heard nothing when I used the sword so I had no way of knowing I was actually damaging it at all. I think that a health bar would've solved a lot of the issues there! And knowing "how little hp it had left" would probably make me want to try again and again. :)

Overall: nice job! :D

I liked it! The art style in monochrome is very nicely done!

I think some simple background music would have added to the experience.

I love the art style! It was a little short but that's understandable for a jam game.

Yup! its always a good idea to keep your game jam games small, and then if you have time at the end you can add more.
