Great vibe of the game tbh, well done on the artwork :) I was confused when the statue went away and then I was like okay what to do now, some players have mentioned that it was too short so maybe that was it? the movement is slow but by pressing space it does speed it up a bit (you may have missed it in the controls description)
Update: after seeing the screenshot of the 'dark + flashlight' one. I went back to play the game and it turns out that was a bug in the 'lets make it a bit harder screen'. Like the quick fast snappy shift to new levels, the variety is good too! Would have loved to play the full version to see what direction this would have gone in!
