Spectacularly sharp, in its artistic design and implementation all around! I'd like to do the developers a service by pointing out what truly shines about this game, and why you should try it out!
-Clear communication of scope: with the first level being fairly short to complete, then showing one flame in the tower, the player can understand just how much time they're committing to! Short and satisfying!
- Lovely artistic choices! Being a bit of a puzzle/dungeon crawler hybrid that also hedges on wordless tutorials, it's clear how effective the imagery works when the gameplay components are so affordable!
- Healthy lenience in the gameplay keeps anxiety and intrigue in a playful balance! e.g. being able to spot the corners of tiles by rotating the light, flickering the light to gradually scour an unfamiliar area safely, quick respawns meant I could experiment with the game's silent rules with no frustration!
- The game takes its most basic concept and runs the full course: I can see exactly what I subjectively enjoy about this design, and I am ready to be excited for any extensions of it! I could say all of the points above with zero hesitation!
Whether this game continues to grow or remains a solid jam entry, it's a significant and memorable experience for me! Awesome job!
