Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.

  • 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 is a great well polished game, you'll be in the top for sure!

Wow, this is actually insane. I feel like i'm playing a game that was developed for years, not weeks. Crazy polished, very enjoyable movement and incredible atmosphere. If this doesn't win I will shoot myself in the foot! Only piece of feedback I have is the timing for the third to last room was a bit tight, as you could only move the blue wolf slightly out of the way in order to reach the platform, and the timing felt VERY tight. Otherwise, absolutely phenomenal entry!!

I like the SFX and the art. I got stuck unfortunatly on a pit by accident. Nice and challenging level design

In france we say : "C'est quoi ce poulet"
Impressive submission, gave me the same feeling as the first time I played Celeste, controls feedback feels great I loved spending time jumping around.
Thank you

Love the desing, it wasnt clear that you can jump down. I had to read the description, a tutorial level would be nice. All in all 9/10

Submitted

Amazing level design. It has a lot of depth while using very straightforward mechanics. Love the small twist to metroidvania upgrades with the potion concocting.

Submitted

Awesome game, love the idea of staying in the shadow and using the light to guide you. The sound and music tie the gameplay mechanics together nicely. 

Submitted

Nice game I love the art and the feeling

This was excellent! I loved the polished mechanics and level design!

What an exciting game, im addicted to platformers and puzzles like this so i pretty much got sucked it lol

Submitted

The music, SFX, art, level design...man, it sure required a lot of work! Congratulations, this is very good!

Submitted

I loved that little mouse and the lantern mechanic. Controls felt intuitive and it was in a very polished state. Really amazing work!~!

Submitted

Awesome job.  I really liked this game and I will be back to play after I've tested some of the other games.  Good luck.

Submitted

Great, reminds me of animal well

Submitted

Really fun game, only criticism is that a dedicated grab button instead of just walking onto the wall might have made the game easier.

Submitted

Amazing!! Really fun, great art style, only thing that got in the way while playing was the wallclimb sometimes making me stick to the wall when I didn't want to (section where there are two sets of blocks and you have to go to the empty spots between the blocks later on) but that was a really minor issue. Great game overall!!

Submitted

beautiful game, really nice progression and difficulty ramp for the jam, really well done :)
