Love the cat >< The music is great, the dash into wall is a bit too loud, maybe change it to a thud sound that's not echoy as well? Tbh i couldn't figure out how to leave the first area, it said to charge light with F (it didn't do anything for me) and to go to the door, but i wasn't sure how to actually open or go through the door? I might have missed something because the other comments are mentioning others areas.

- It's pretty basic but you should be proud of doing this in a short amount of time by yourself. The darkness feels a bit harsh, a menu would be nice (although the music is nice, it's quite loud as are the SFX). The controls worked. The biggest issue is the missing/not working link to the GDD.
- I like the play with the shadow mechanic. the gameplay is a bit basic. the dash does not feel smooth. sound effects are LOUD. wished there was some way to adjust the volume on sfx vs music.
- I got stuck in pits quite often. When I was, I knew you could dash out, but didn't know how to work the dash mechanic correctly. It wasn't explained that dashing would send you anywhere you wanted to go by holding it down (in the game). Mechanics like that should be somewhat self-evident, if not explained somehow. Otherwise, decent concept. Keep at it!
Did you include your Game Design Document as a Google Drive link?
Ye
Seriously... did you include your Game Design Document?

Is your game set to Public so we can see it?
I did
Tell us about your game!
I also gave the guide whilst inside the game, A and D for left and right, Space to jump, Shift to dash, F to increase light, You are a wizard on a trip into the caves of Cinosir to aquire a gem for your cat, torches and campfires count as checkpoints, teleporting you back to that spot
Extra Notes
Its the first game jam i joined, and the game is really barebones unfortunately, and i did alot of work, but my team didnt do any, so it has decent code, but less than optimal art/music
ALSO THE DOCUMENT SAYS DOWNLOAD IT JUST SENDS TO A WEBPAGE
