Thank you so much for this, it's super helpful. I had a few people get bugs around dialogue not working, but I think the way you described it I can understand why it happened now. And your two suggestions for the lights are great I think, especially the comment about the distant vs near visibility. It was no problem at all to upload an accessible build. You made it well worth it to me, thank you so much!

I had implemented a smoothing effect for the lighting, but it's disabled in the current build. I uploaded another build with it turned on. Also I turned off chromatic aberration and bloom as I saw people on social media saying that might help. I can't say for sure how well this will play or whether it will solve your issue,  but you're welcome to give it a shot. I understand if you don't want to risk it. The password is "freeze". https://sillychampion.itch.io/audio-phantom-photosensitive

I'm really sorry you couldn't play. Is there a term for your type of photosensitivity? I'm just curious to research what I could do in the future to accommodate it

Thank you! I think your feedback is right on. Platforming in the dark sounds a little silly in retrospect

Thank you so much for the kind words. I'm really happy with the artstyle as well. I was thinking how can I make the best looking realtime lighting on the browser and it was sort of a happy accident from there. I'm glad you enjoyed the gameplay. I was worried people wouldn't see the connection to the theme. I'm really flattered you kept playing even with the fullscreen bug

Thank you! A dialogue skip feature was high on my backlog but I didn't get around to it. Regardless, I'm really happy you found it interesting. I would love to make a more exploratory visual game in the future.

Thank you! I'm sorry you had a hard time seeing. That's something I struggled with a lot as the amount of light is dependent on your movement and playstyle. Looking back now I think I should have prioritized a creative solution to this. I'm glad you found the art style interesting though! I'm glad you noticed the portraits. That's something I was really happy with as well.

Thank you! Glad you found it somewhat interesting. Hope you didn't fall too many times!

Thank you Cedric! That means a lot coming from you

Thank you!

Thank you! Don't feel bad about not finishing

Thank you for giving it a shot! Sorry you weren't able to progress more :(

Thank you so much! I wish I could have come up with a better solution for guiding the players. As the lights are tied to audio and movement I struggled with the fact that certain playstyles would end up getting lost more. I'm sorry I couldn't balance it for you. I like the name Charlie, that can be his official name :).

Thank you!

Reminds me a lot of classic flash games. Very on point with the theme.

Funny small game. Brought me back to some funny memories.

Very beautiful and polished. I felt the freezing and unfreezing paths was a little bit stale after a while. Overall a very enjoyable game.

Cute art! I was a bit confused on the controls at first. Also the outcome feels very random. I would have loved to see some sort of skill based aspect added.

Great job guys. The art and ui designs are top notch. Very polished too. No pressure, but I would love to see you guys work on more stuff together in the future. Seems like you have all the skills there in this team!

Love the visual style. Everything looks very coherent and I think it really fits the vision you had for the gameplay. It seems like you didn't have enough time for a lot of stuff, but I know you have the skills to make something really cool and I respect that you went for it. Would love to see you explore more with this artstyle.

Very polished. I can tell a lot of love went into the smaller details. I did find the combat a bit repetitive, but I enjoyed the story aspect and how you made it based around the theme.

Dripping with style! Very fun. The camera movement did feel a little bit hard to control. Overall very cool.

An adorable game. I did find it a little difficult at first. But I started using the strategy of copying the expression on my face irl and that helped a lot. Had a small bug with the music playing multiple copies when I went back and forth to the menu. Overall had a great time.

That's very kind. You should have been able to have some dialogue at those segments, so that sounds like a bug. But I'm glad you still found something about it enjoyable

Thank you for playing! Horror also isn't my favorite genre, but I'm glad you found something enjoyable

Sorry about that. Should be fixed now
