Really cool game i loved the way it looked and the music was really good to the platforming was done well and the theme was implemented really well only thing that would have been really cool is if at the end of the level for just a second the whole level would have lit up so if you died a minimal amount of time you could see the whole level.
Awesome game! The sound is really good. The music fits the atmosphere super well and I especially like the satisfying sound when you beat a level. I played another game similar to this, where the level lit up as you walked around, but I think that having the level light up when you die fits the them even better! Good job!
cool game, love the idea. neat minimalist aesthetic too.
Great job!
Well done, a simple and good idea. I like the overall feel of the game, the movement is very smooth. Unfortunately after a while it get boring as it is not really hard to move through the levels, but often just trial and error, which gets repetitive.
It's a 2d version of our game! So obviously I like it ;).
I would say - it's frustrating that sometimes you are at an edge that you can't see past, so sometimes all you can do is throw yourself forward and hope that you don't die. Then you do. So it's impossible to complete without dying. Which is a bit frustrating.
(In our game we tried to make it possible to complete without dying because even in the dark you have all the information you need... although our game ended up being a bit too difficult anyway)
The sound effect when dying stays with you :)
Simple but colorful and there are multiple games with this kind of concept but it does play satisfactory :). Jumping and moving was smooth feeling. Light and dark well programmed.
Good work :)!
Well done mate, the effect is also verry cool
Nice job! I made something pretty similar in concept, so you know what they say, great minds think alike? Haha, but on a serious note, this was a really fun game! The movement was really smooth and responsive and I loved the lighting effect. Nice job!
Good idea, but it's a little frustrating to play
Cool game, it fits the theme very well, it's fun and challenging, and it is very similar to mine, except in my game you don't see the spikes.
I generally give harsh criticism, so when I say this is fantastic, I mean it! We had a few ideas and thought of doing something quite similar actually and you executed it way better than I could have, you just want to keep seeing more of the level it's great! And the death crunch packs a punch, very good submission overall.

Great game! I really love the simplistic visuals.
I think a total death counter at the end would be a nice addition, it would allow players to compare their performance. Really cool nonetheless!
i really liked the idea and the game was very fun. There was just a huge dificulty spike at the last level where you suddenly had to do a pixel perfect jump, other than that great game
Very cool concept!
Really cool game!
I really like the art style, sounds and music. The idea here is also great!
Good job!
Your game has probably the best implementation of the 'Level Reveals as You Die' idea.
The visuals are really good. Simple, but that's what makes them so beautiful.
Really good concept and fits the topic perfectly, love the simple aesthetic. I ended up getting stuck on the start of the 4th or 5th level. But was good fun, great effort!
I really liked playing through this! The difficulty was just right, challenging enough to keep me interested and engaged but not too much to get me to be too frustrated. I liked the little addition of how many times you died in one level too, my record was 50 :). Even when dying at the very end of a level, I didn't get discouraged by it because the respawn time was so fast and the levels were so short, yet still satisfying to complete because they each felt so unique. Great job with this game!
this game should win for simplicity, really fun to play!
