I really enjoyed that! Glad when I died I only had to restart that level. The puzzles were very clever and well done. Great job! I could definitely see this being expanded into a full game.

Thank you!

Best entry yet :) clever level design - seeing the end time would be cool for speedrunners

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you! That's an interesting idea but I don't really see this as a speedruning game.

Nice polished little game , nice and easy to pick up and went through all levels pretty quickly which I think is a bonus for gamejams. Well done.

Developer

Thank you.

Wonderful level design here, I was engaged till the very last level. The only potential improvement (apart from the obvious which is increasing number of levels) would be some more thought to the audio design. Everything else felt great, a little more in terms of audio would've made for the perfect retro platformer ambience.

Great game regardless, enjoyed every bit and puzzle!

Developer

Thank you! It was my first time actually working with audio, I always steered away from it because I was terrified of sound design.

I really couldn't get the theme on this game. But it is a solid prototype for a greater platformer game, I liked the sound effects, on the menu I thought that there was going to be sound to listen the effect volume setting.

Really great visuals and control feel. In the last levels I thought there was going to be a logic puzzle, there wasn't, but there is the possibility of doing levels with puzzles more advanced!!

Developer

I'm not the best at puzzle games, it takes a long time for me to think of a more challenging puzzle. Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you like it!

A quality platformer for sure! You've done well at implementing the mechanics of a platformer in your game, and I love your tactic of using the player themselves to light up the torches, a neat use of the darkness theme! However, I do think you could do with making it just a bit darker before you start lighting up the torches, to give a bit more pizazz to the act of completing a level. That being said, I really enjoyed it, and would have played way more levels if there were!

Developer

Thank you! If I decide to expand on the project, I will certainly look into the lighting because I have gotten the same suggestion of making it darker during playtests.

Congratulations on this 2D platformer, it's simple but effective. Visually, it's well done, everything is consistent, so kudos for that. My only frustration is that I expected more levels, which means I found your game quite fun to play :)

Developer

Thank you very much! I wish I could've made more levels but I sadly ran out of time, might expand the game in the future.
