What a lovely game! The art is absolutely gorgeous, and the animations are smooth. Love the music as well - fits the vibe. Also loved the added sneak mechanics. But I do have some feedback, some of it little nitpicky though.
- I got stuck at the part with the many turrets - that was intense, maybe a bit too much. I also dashed out of the walkable area and literally got myself stuck :\
- The push back from the laser shots was a bit harsh when so many of them hit me together.
- I wish the player would move a bit faster!
- Would prefer if I was always returned to the last big lantern I unlocked because I found myself repeating areas a bit too often...
- Maybe attack directions could be diagonal as well, and stop the player from moving for a bit less time or maybe not at all?
Very good submission! Congrats
