  • Interesting game mechanic with the light. I enjoy the game!
  • This entry is fantastic in my opinion, an excellent example of what you could do with a fuller length title. The only real recommendation i could give is -more-, the light mechanics is awesome and i like crafting the power ups. Could be evolved in a few ways like choosing which power up to make first, or more mechanics with the lamp. Good working document in the GDD. the alchemy part of the theme could be a SMIDGE more prominent, but otherwise excellent!
  • Very good GDD, I loved seeing the whole design process. Very cool! The ideas and foundations link very nicely to the game jam, and the underlying themes are mysterious & magical with an awesome soundtrack! Thoroughly enjoyed my little play through. Feedback: Implement a training section to the functionality behind the game. (How you move, what the lanterns do, how you get the different jumps to show etc) Add item descriptions to the items in crafting window and inventory The rest of the game is nicely laid out and thought out, please keep going with this. I would be very interested to see how you implement new items and upgrades to the movement and alchemy :)

That was extremely satisfying! Love the character art and the mechanics were on point! There seem to be a lot of floating animal well ghost dogs in the jam! Fit perfectly here!

Submitted

The game is quite good, but I feel it's a little repetitive, the main mechanic is quite simple and therefore it gets stale really quicky. Although the level, art and sound design is stellar

Submitted

Very polished, and a joy to play. Definitely saving this one to play later too!

Fantastic job on this game! I'm super surprised at the quality of it and how smooth it feels to play. I couldn't find where it was written down but game engine did you use to make this?

This game feels so polished! The graphics are great (as usual!!!!) and the platforming was a challenge :)

The game looks great and feels very polished. It got a bit challenging at the end, but I eventually made my way to the end. Cheers!
