Good atmosphere, good concept. Jumping felt buggy, look into jump buffering and coyote time. Would have been nice to have a visual for when time runs out and the lights come back on, and more cues for potion effects? Enjoyed your work! Keep it up!
i really enjoyed the concept! i would like it if there was a book with the potions but overall i think it was great with its 8bit style...very chill!
I really like the game’s graphics and atmosphere.
Movement could use a little work. I got stuck on the first jump because if you stand too close to the wall, you don’t reach full height.
The idea of brewing potions is interesting but I would like to see what a potion does.
I’m also not a fan of the limited lives mechanic. If I get stuck on something, I just want to try again, and not to replay all the stuff I’ve already done.
Overall, good job.
Thanks... Thats a really helpful feedback.We will keep improving it!
Well done !
One of the few games where you have to fight against light to progress.
Nice music and narrative....just poor gnomes LUL
I like this quite a bit. I find myself getting distracted with brewing potions and a miner sneaks up on me with his light and kills me. Maybe some hints about what the different potions do would be good. Overall, I think this is a fun concept. Well done!
Seems simple in the beggining but i havent discovered the full potential of the potions, i like the dark atmosphere and the fact that you must stay in the dark or light will kill you.
