- Absolutely love how you tied your artistic theme colours with the alchemy portion of the theme and the mechanic of progression through mixing colours. This is a really cool concept - I had some difficulty progressing in the time allowed, but you have some really interesting ideas in you GDD!

Tell us about your game!
Lost Lumen is a 2d platformer which has a little bit of exploration, light puzzles, and light action elements. Play as an astronaut who's crash landed on a mysterious planet. Utilize a bioluminescent light from the local fauna to navigate the planet's dark woods!
Supports only keyboard-and-mouse controls: A/D moves left/right; W/S climbs vine-ladders; Space jumps; F collects items; the mouse aims your flashlight (once it's been acquired), and left click fires a flash of color once you've collected colored fruits. The mouse wheel rotates your six-shooter flashlight to prep loading or firing a different color. Your head-light glows the color of your next activated color-flash, if any.

Very spooky and atmospheric game! I like that I was able to load up with primary colors, but then also have mixed colors too. I could see an expanded version of this where you have to change the color of the flashlight to be able to see different spectrums of light. Anyhow, well done!
Very cool concept with the lights and shadows! And I really like any game that lets me combine colors and use them in interesting ways. The main thing I was wishing I had was a sprint button since there was a lot of walking back and before. But I still had a good time. Thanks for the game!
