Good game! The animations (at least for doing a flip) is smooth and it is pretty hard!

That flip is really something! Quite a tricky game, that's not a problem though, I just gotta git gud.

The movement is smooth and responsive, making the parkour very fun! That being said, I found some of the levels to be a bit unforgiving, especially considering the limited visibility (namely the level with many yellow lasers that are almost insta-kills). I think a slightly larger radius of light would be enough to balance the difficulty a tad. Anyway, this is overall a very fun platformer.

I really like the graphics and the gameplay :) Was too challenging for me though x) I gotta git gud too. Really like the way you integrated the theme into the game. Well done

I appreciate the light work and theme music. I kinda find it hard to play at first but after a few trials difficulty seemed reasonable. good job.

awesome! The music is really catchy. I like how most of the level is dark and you have night vision - I usually only see that in horror games, not strategy. Obligatory - do a barrel roll! :p

Note, settings button didn't do anything in browser.

Pros: - Nice smooth movement and animation. - Surprisingly catchy music :)

Cons: - Level design maaaybe a little too challenging too soon - Could have been cool to have a small amount of "power", to very briefly turn on lights or a flashlight, in order to see more of the level (then going back to jumping around it in the dark

Overall though, fun :)

Nice use of the theme, would never have thought to do a platformer. Smooth animation, but maybe I'd have had the camera zoomed in a tiny bit more.

Gonna have to echo others comments that the restrictive field of view can feel a little unfair as a lot of times you are making leaps of faith - but the fast respawns helps a bit with this.

Really good game and concept, but i kept getting the same level when i played the game.

This game felt like it needed lots of polish. The character felt hard to control and the graphics need some work. Sound was the best part about this game, adding some sound effects would make the game very good.

Wow, I'm actually pretty proud of myself that I could beat all the levels! The last one was giving me a really hard time. :) Liked the concept and it's nicely executed. I especially loved the animation for doing a flip and the main character is very well done. I think he's too small compared to the massive screen size though so it's easy to lose track of him. The dark backgrounds don't help so sometimes I had a really hard time finding him on the screen. Also, it's a bit strange that I carry a weapon yet I can't attack anything. :) While the background track is nice, I didn't think it fit the mood very well, something less upbeat and happy could've worked better to provide some atmosphere. Some more sound effects would've also greatly improved the feel, along with more visual feedback, e.g. flashing the screen when you get hurt. Liked the variety and amount of levels though, nice job for such a short time!

Amazing game. I really liked it.

One thing I would like is a rechargeable power. I missed my night vision a lot when it ended...

Nice level design as well. Congratulations!
