I definitely love the idea of this game. The physics can glitch a bit, but it's nothing gameplay-wrecking. E.g. when you try to jump on the platform on the right and hit it at the right angle, you clip straight on to it. I definitely like the graphics. So, if you had fun developing, develop further and hopefully you can get a real release

Sorry to hear you had trouble this time around! The terrain art is pretty cool, and it looks like you had a good idea here. It's a shame you couldn't pull a full game together from it. Better luck next time!

I dont really understand how it works ...
You should add tips or a tutorial.
Also graphics are nice.

I assume your game is more than I see so great job :)

Not too sure if there are more levels than the first as it says game over when I complete it. Though I do love the idea of game play and it is very interesting mechanics wise. Sounds would be good and I also love the graphics.

controls are confusing but the art and game feel enveloped me

fisherg 2016-08-30 01:47

Adorable art. I love it.

josehzz 2016-08-30 02:15

The game art looks neat. Sorry to hear about your troubles but atleast you post something playable and good looking. Better luck next time.

clockwerkclover 2016-08-30 02:27

that was a really cool idea. Sorry to hear you had a rough go of it this time round though.

exilegl 2016-08-30 03:27

Really cute! Maybe you should make a finished version for a mini LD or something.

Hi, nice game and congratulations ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #36. We made the same thing at the previous jam.

Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description.

I like the art. The game is nice. Well done

xakkar 2016-08-30 08:07

Nice game!

lenon_kramer 2016-08-30 12:10

Nice game, beautiful art, interesting concept.

Sorry for the trouble, I had the same here, my game is still less playable than yours. But c'est la vie.

Anyway, it's nice to see Brazilians around here. I found you from the Will's World Map. I'm from São Carlos. Cheers.

I think you have an interesting and solid concept in hands. Don't give it up, it can yield a good game.

mateus-culpo 2016-08-30 12:27

hahaha loved the graphics, and simple and fun game

kai20 2016-08-30 13:39

it kind of dont work sorry. looks pretty well nontheless

znibben 2016-08-30 17:49

I like the idea and the artwork is awesome. Too bad it didn't turn out as expected. But on the bright side, the glitching physics makes it a bit more of a challenge.

neetsoftld 2016-08-30 18:02

I really like the screenshots, but the game wouldn't play on my PC for some reason. No errors, it just won't run.

rttstudio 2016-08-30 18:19

Love the art style and all. Seem you had some problems, hope you learned a lot. The game is obviously not done, but the idea is really great. Good work!

rubiksjr 2016-08-30 19:10

I'm sorry that you weren't able to complete it, but from the looks of this game it probably would have been awesome. The art was really good, and the subtle movement of the islands in the background is really cool. The concept is nice too. The idea of going around and reflecting light seems really fun.

gonutz 2016-08-30 20:16

This is a nice start for a puzzle game. I could at first not figure out what to do, then I read your description because I thought I was missing a key. But I did not, I simply did not know what to do. Some kind of tutorial or in-game introduction would have been nice.

The graphics are really nice, good job on that :)

robochris 2016-08-30 21:33

Pretty fun i will say that.
i did encounter a bug or it could have been me but the character was going right even when i wasn't pressing the button. Luckily it only happened once.
Other than that love the game and graphics wish there were sounds and if there were i couldn't here them.

2011petia 2016-08-31 00:03

The pixel retro visual its the best part of the game !!

gfm 2016-08-31 01:21

Wow! How did I get so many comments, already? o___o
Thanks a lot, guys! I'll try to play and comment back your games. :)

The unfinished state of the game is mostly my own fault, for trying to "properly" (i.e., in a mathematically correct way) fix a bug for over 6 hours... But I did have tons of fun and finished something, which makes me pretty happy.


@pi_pi3 Actually, that is a real "feature". If I hadn't forced the player to clip through the platform, they could get stuck at the corner (this bug is common to all of my games). Letting go of stick, moving it to the other direction or jump would free the player, but I wanted to test this ugly and hacky solution... :P

@Elit3dGaming Wait, you were able to figure out how the game works from that brief description? I'm really impressed! Unfortunately, that is all there is to the game... =/

@WERT Studio (@kai20), @NEETsoftLD Which OS are you running? Is there "game.log" file on %APPDATA%\com.gfmgamecorner\Burning Light\? Is there any error messages if running from a command prompt?

ghust1995 2016-08-31 02:21

Really liked the mechanics and art =) You should definetly fix the bugs and make a full game out of this =)

mordokay 2016-08-31 11:29

The art is good and the gameplay has real potential. Asside from a few glitches that lets you jump to the higher platforms it feels natural to play. Keep working on it :)

linus123xbb 2016-09-03 22:26

Cool idea, there were a few bugs like no sound on linux but overall it was a nice concept.

finlal 2016-09-05 16:58

No run(
PC and Win10. Keeps click on EXE, but nothing happens(

jsmars 2016-09-13 06:10

Feels like this could have been a great game if you completed it. A bit hard to judge too when you don't know whats working as supposed to or not. Nice work tho, learning is what LD is about!

conk 2016-09-13 12:19

A little confusing, but I see you had troubles with the final build. Art was nice although the beams didn't look overly beamy :P

nlbi21 2016-09-16 00:36

I think we all agree on something is beautiful pixel art. :3 ♥ good game, simple but fun.

mar3k 2016-09-18 13:32

Pretty solid game, also nice idea
