wow absolutely blown away the art style is awesome the music is so cool and fitting wow this was so cool great job. i had so minor issues but I was so focused on how cool everything looked I didn't even care

The animation and artstyle is very interesting and impressive! It feels just like an old animation that you would see back in the 60's. The only issue I have with it is that I am so used to pressing space to go up instead of W that I kept losing!

This game is amazing. The audio, the visuals, and the mechanics all meshed together wonderfully. I had a few issues with some of the visuals being skewed in strange ways, and I wonder if it has anything to do with me playing the game on Laptop. Great job with your game!

I like the theme, and the SFX/BGM of the game, a lot. I also like how it is like the dinosaur game that you can play when you have no internet, but with a catch of needing to stay in the light, by using candles. The only glitch I found was if the player holds W to jump they just infinitely go up until the player releases the button, which allows them to pass most enemies/graves, also candles. Other than that great job, it was enjoyable to play.

I like the artwork, the music, and the idea, However I feel as though the obstacles spawn too close together, the game became to easy when I realized I could just fly off screen, and the game isn't very clear on how the darkness mechanics actually work, nor does it state how many candles you can hold or the max life you can have.

Very cute! I love the art style and I think that the concept is really fun. I would love to come back down after jumping, or for it to have been a bit more of a challenge but it was nice and I enjoyed it!

The game was a lot of fun to play and I like the reference to that old ghost cartoon. I really like the art style and the old fashoned music and sound effects really just ties it all together. The only problem I had was there was no limitation to keep the player in the canvas so I could just fly away off the canvas. I really like the idea for the candles and the darkness it forces the player to focus on a lot more than just collecting lives and dodging obstacles.

The art for your game is fantastic, the character gives off a real Koko the Clown from Betty Boop kind of vibe. The music and sound effects really work well with this theme too, good job!

I really enjoy the artwork. The first thing I usually do when playing a game is look to see if I can get out of bounds or out of the map. That being said, I did just that and was able to avoid all of the bats and tombstones and just fall back down to collect the candles and hearts. Additionally, I do wish there was a win condition. This is personal preference but could be a nice touch! Other than that, the game is fun!

Love the early disney inspired artwork! There doesn't seem to be an obvious scoring system, or any indication of how long I survived. I found that I could win the game if I just held 'w' as there doesn't appear to be a limit to the jump height. Cute game!
