This concept is really cool!! You die and place a light that helps you survive later? Super interesting and I had fun playing the game!!
I have a problem with this game. I loved the visuals, but the backtracking over and over and over is too much... it's not fun. I've seen many people take this route of "die/respawn/repeat" and I feel it's a mistake. Maybe it's not just your game, it's the fact that I came to your game after playing so many of these "die/respawn/repeat" games that I'm exhausted.
Again, the visuals look amazing and I'm sure you can make great games with your art skills (I've browsed your portfolio and the art looks really cool), this one is just not my cup of tea, sorry.
Don't worry, I won't vote so it won't lower the score. Sorry for the honesty.
Stunning visuals!
I spammed so many lanterns, so it got really surprised to know that now I have to turn off them all...
Really cool concept!
Great quality game!
Cool concept, i like the art!
Really liked the style and the atmosphere! That last bit where you had to go and extinguish lanterns was really stressful! Great job!
That was a really cool idea. I wish I could see better but I get it haha
Wow this is really cool! Admittedly I'm not good at platformers so it took me a long time to figure out where to go and how to get there haha but I really liked it! Well done!!
If I knew that ending was coming I wouldn't have let myself expire so often haha. Really neat idea though!
I enjoyed that, and suited the theme well. Was a bit of a "Where do I go" kind of game. But I had a shock when the game asked me to unlit all of the lanterns. Lets say with 14, I was screwed XD
This was really cool!! I loved the whole vibe, and having to die to give yourself little checkpoints and slowly make it farther through was really interesting. I'm pretty bad at platformers but I really enjoyed this one!!
really awesome game I loved it!! Please check out my game if you get the chance!!
Oh man, this is such a cool concept! I wish the lights were a little bigger so it covers a bit more area - was very disorienting running around trying to figure out where to go. I would suggest also making the platforms light up as you approach them, I completely missed them to begin with!
But very cool, lovely art and mysterious atmosphere, the music adds a lot! Would love to see more of this.
Neat little platformer, i do think part of my playthrough was bugged as after the 3rd seal i couldn't die anymore until i got the 4th seal, other then that it was nice.
Interesting concept, my brain couldn't stand not being able to jump at the start, more plataforming could be interesting to develop so you don't need to make jumping an unlockable skill. Generally a cool idea and having to set off the lanterns at the end was unexpected because then you have to plan and remember better how you are going to go through the level. Keep it up!
Really cool idea with the lanterns and darkness. Really liked the artwork and vibes, and tight controls. Great game!
Great platformer and wonderful idea to use the light from your previous deaths. Fantastic job!
The visuals on this are well done! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to jump (space) so was limited in how much I could play. Unsure if this was something on my end or not.
Jump is unlocked later, it is not available from the start.
Ah my bad, I didn’t notice that. I may have gotten myself too high up too quickly. Will have to give it another go then!
