Wow! The graphics and mood on this are amazing... really well done man. Thank you!
Love the art and the music !
Really enjoyed the atmosphere in this entry! Very fun and challenging, too. Reminded me a bit of my entry.
This felt soo nice and polished! Really getting the Celeste feels too!
The graphics are astonishing! Good job!
Amazing game! It has a lot of atmosphere!
Great art I liked the way the bird comes for the firefly I was just expecting a little more from the ending, but the visual effect was great. I don't to which greater power I sacrificed my friend.
Stellar visuals, soothing tones and a clever idea. Well done!
That was just amazing, no words...
Amazing game! Cool mechanics, but I didn't get how to throw the bottle further at the start :D
Absolutely amazing. The graphics, lighting and audio, everything spot on to underline the overall mood of the game, nothing wrong with this title, well done :)
Pretty sweet and solid entry in every aspect, thank you!
Fantastic Game!
The pixel art is slick and the music fits perfectly. At first I was a little confused by the throw indicators, I thought was chucking my jar everywhere, but I figured it out. The mechanics felt good, maybe differentiate the types of buttons a little more? I didn't know which ones were one hit and which ones were hold.
This is just feedback. As it is, the game is great! Really well done.
Mood was on point, as well as theme, graphics and audio was great and gameplay was smooth, so that about covers all of it haha. top tier game
Really great core concept and wonderful mood. Quite nice puzzles too. Would definitely be interested to play an expanded version of this.
Solid game, the animation and effect are well polished. The concept is cool too, the fact that you gain verticality by going on you lamp.
I found it weird that you had some platforming challenge, I found myself dying multiple time to a little hole. Indeed your character controller is slow and linear, perfect for puzzle and narrative mood.
Also I didn't understand the last puzzle, I think I got passed it by accident, and is it just me or is this the f word that is written on the pillars at the end ?
Keep it up dudes !
Cara, o jogo ta muito bonito! parabéns! Eu só achei um pouco escuro demais, apesar de ser a intenção do game..
The art and mood of the game was incredible! I think the darkness was a little to dark at times though, and it did end up preventing me from finishing the game. I scouted out the path I had to take, but would get stuck when trying to platform in the dark after leaving the firefly on a button. It's a really pretty game, and I hope you keep making them!
I LOVE this game. Amazing art, sound, music, gameplay. Only the throwing seemed a bit finicky as I had to move the mouse very far. Apart from that, all around amazing!
Awesome atmosphere you created! Graphics, audio, lighting - all adds up to a great experience! Amazing job.
The only thing I didn't really like was the aiming. Maybe it was a bug, but you can't see the aiming square until you are actually throwing. So, you can't really aim.
SCREENSHOT.png Unfortunately it seems I'm the only one with this issue. However, I can't seem to see anything except the player character and the light? I couldn't progress but I really wish I could've played!
Besides that I liked the effects I could see, the player sprite, and the audio.
Great game, very atmospheric! I like how the puzzles are simple yet have just the right amount of challenge. Some passages are a bit too dark for me, and the ending felt a little disconnected with the rest of the game. Also, does the altar say "F**k"?
Yeah, graphics here are really great. Found out one thing which could make the game better. After death black screan is quite long and if you are trying to figure out solution to the puzzle it irritates quite a bit.
Great art and effects to set the mood. A little too dark for my taste though.
The gameplay was innovative and seeing you use keep the fireFLY alive was a good touch.
Great work!
This is my favorite game at the moment. Excelent atmosphere and art.
I really loved the art,the concept simple yet sticks with the theme,The bottle throwing Trajectory can be improved(why not show a curved line instead?)and i felt the jump was less forgiving very precise need to consider human error correction, overall a good game
The graphics for this are absolutely amazing! It's been mentioned a dozen times before, but the atmosphere for this is wonderfully cohesive - the sounds, the colour palette, and the pixel work all flow amazingly. The glow is beautiful! The gameplay is enjoyable, and the puzzles were appropriately challenging! The throw indicator was also nice, and i enjoyed the little touches that made the game feel more polished, like how the jar could land both on its side and on its bottom.
While I did enjoy the gameplay a fair bit, I found most of the jumps pretty punishing in gap - I fell into the first hole easily five or six times, and while the reset time was quick enough that it wasn't too frustrating, I certainly feel as though the first few jumps in the game could do to be a little shorter to make ease the player in! I also personally ended up not being able to complete the puzzle after the second checkpoint - while I felt like I had an idea of what I was supposed to do, I was struggling to either make the throw up and over the blocks above onto the button or maneouvre through the dark to get up to the second button without the firefly - this could just be an issue of how I was understanding the puzzle, but after about ten attempts, I couldn't get past this point. :(
That said, I still absolutely adore the look and feel of this game! It could have easily been presented to me as a game that had taken months in development, and I would have believed it on look and feel alone. You've done an excellent job! This type of atmospheric game also feels as though it could benefit from some brief interaction functions with the environment - I spent a fair bit at the beginning just trying to see if I could interact with the other person in the cave and see if they were sleeping or dead.
Overall, I love what you've done here, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you two make in the future! ~✧
5/5 on mood no doubt. I liked the presentation but at the same time it was hard to see when further away from the light.
I would like to see the development of this concept with better graphics. This is a good game.
Superb graphics and mood with mystery music is very charming, but platforming I think should be more easy and respawn more fast, but apart from that it's a great game! Nice job!
The mood of the game is so good . really enjoyed it Good art and sound.
It seems this is a common issue but I cannot seem to surpass the first introduction to the aim/throw mechanic. It seems very unclear what exactly one should be doing. Which is disappointing because the rest of the game is superb. You guys really knocked it out of the park and I'd want to see a continuation of this project somewhere in the future!
Fantastic graphics and game feel. I really enjoyed playing this!
Great graphics, audio and mood. One nitpick - don't like the part where I have to do something blind. I think this could be stretched to bigger game with some more mechanics.
Loved the gameplay, loved the atmosphere loved the art. Just wow.
Really nice subtle lighting effects which I appreciate.
ooh man what a wonderful game :D i hope you make it longer in the future!
Really beautiful graphics and lovely story in the backgrounds. Despite I had some trouble with platforms, the checkpoints were perfectly placed there. The darkness around, the eagle, the snow... the dangerous atmosphere is there! And all of them do keep you going on protecting the bottle until the end.
Great job here!
GENIAL, MUY BUENO EL ARTE PIXEL!
Awesome Graphics! Awesome Mood! Awesome Game!
Before I play your game and I forget, your link to Murilo M. Grosso twitter is pointing to soundcloud :wink:
On itch.io, sorry
@sir-syko Thanks for letting me know, I didn't realize hahahaha
@nemogg @miracl I didn't even notice, but it really seems... hahahahaha
Fantastic game! I loved the graphics, beautiful pixel-art. It has nice lighting, I like how it turns out to be a significant part in the gameplay. Very good physics, the gameplay feels really polished and the idea is very solid. Very good job!
Nice game.
Really enjoyed my time with Ice Light. I think you nailed the ambiance and mood. I struggled a little with the throwing and finding my mouse before the aim (since how far you move it after clicking seemed to be part of the mechanic), but got used to it pretty quickly. Great work!
nice!!
A really good game, i loved the art, the gameplay is precise and the concept is pretty simple but well executed, great job !
Loved the artstyle and audio, enjoyed the puzzles as well, but i got the jar stuck on the first ledge once and couldn't get it back.
@fatsheep thanks for the positive feedback, I will try to find and fix that error. :)
Had so much fun playing this in my strean last night! I don't know if you were still in the stream when we played it unfortunately but I really enjoyed playing it and we all particularly loved the mood of this game. Super eery and the snow/wind sounds created a great mysterious atmosphere. Great entry guys!
@max-louis thanks for the feedback! Yes, we watched your stream and it was really fun hahahaha
This was AMAZING game! I really love the art and music was verry fitting! Thank you so much!
awesome game, loved the art style and puzzles. Very creative. well done!
Cool idea, pretty. Enjoying the Deepnight bevelled pixels strat, never fails lol, I expect you will score high for graphics. Took me a while to get used to the trajectories but you do telegraph them so I'm probably just dumb lol. Well done.

mood of the game was off the charts. i want to know what happened, who was with you, etc. gameplay was ewasy to figure out. i really enjoyed it. my only gripe was the throwing. for some reason i never saw the cursor until i started throwing so it made it very difficult to guess where it would go. thanks for making this.
Just played through the whole game! Omg was this a great experience! The art style, the music and the animations where all awesome and fit very vell! The only thing I would change is the aim system...at first I thought I was throwing my candle away several times haha my bad! Maybe just a line or something could do the trick. Nothing more to tell here, an excellent entry and with more leveles a mobile hit for sure!
Great game! It was nice and short but the art and sound were very well done. Here's a little bit of feedback : 1. Maybe have two different type of button art, one for buttons that require constant weight and the other for toggle. All the buttons looked the same so i didn't know which type they were. 2. Perhaps increase the visibility a litttttle bit? I had trouble seeing what was ahead of me, but i guess that was the general vibe. The last puzzle was tricky because i couldnt see both doors or buttons at the same time due to darkness.
This game has so many clever ideas! I love how little of a screen you need to see to be able to play the game and the "throw preview" mechanics are awesome.
Loved how delicate the 'light' was! I included it in my Ludum Dare 46 compilation video series, if you want to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/SML2NB40RxM
