  • Interesting game mechanic with the light. I enjoy the game!
  • 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 :)
  • 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!

This was unreal! Please release as a full game!

Submitted

This is a good game you could build out as a full metroidvania. Great job! Super fun. I would love to see how you could expand the alchemy more, but I do think it's fun to have it be the home base to get new abilities.

Submitted

Also! think it would be cool if there were other uses of the lantern, like lighting areas in lamps (either temporary or maybe permanently as checkpoints)

Submitted

Wow Love the art and level design. Great Game!

Good level design!

Submitted

Awesome game! I love the lantern mechanics. If you're planning on flushing this out into a full game, I'd happily play it.

Submitted

Amazing, absurd level of polish for 2 weeks. I'm seeing a lot of inspiration from animal well! Good job!

Submitted

Wow, fantastic game created only in two weeks! The art, atmosphere and level design are great. Would love to see this as a bigger game. Great job overall!

Submitted

Awesome game! I can't believe it's free, let alone a jam game made in 2 weeks!  you set the bar sky high! 5/5

Really great game, super polished and great lantern mechanic. Difficulty was well-tuned too. I just wish it was longer, but that's the limitations of a game jam. Hope you continue to work on this!

Submitted

That was great! Really good ambiance and art too:)

The level design is amazing, as well as the art!

If it was expanded into a full-on metroidvania I would surely play it.

Keep up the good work 💪

this is a really good game. and is really polished.

Beat the whole thing. That was really fun! Everything is top notch.

Absolute banger. Finished it with joy, and I'm not usually a platformer kinda guy.
