This was really cool! I like the way you represented light a lot. I think it might be beneficial to players to give a better indicator of how well lit the torch is, but the concept works really well. Good job!

Nice little game! Thanks for posting a web link. I got stuck on first play through, not sure what happened but it was at a corner. Maybe that door dropped on me?
Nice! It was so interesting and so funny! I loved the concept and the gameplay. It took me a couple times to understand it, but I enjoyed it a lot :)
It was a bit hard to figure out at first, but a fun little game nevertheless!
Visuals and audio are really nice! It is a bit difficult to make sense of the game at first, but I think there's a lot of fun ideas going on here and using particles with traditional platforming is very interesting and unique.
Nice entry ! Was a bit hard to understand at first but when I got it it was fun to play. I got stuck tho, maybe I'm stupid but when I placed the first block to climb a ledge, I couldn't figure out what to do next. So I went back to the ledge to see if I missed anything and I think the block was gone, so I was stuck there :/ (where you have a block and the waterfall). Like the music and I'm always a fan of these types of games made on PICO-8, love the graphics and the retro-vibe.
Good job !
For some odd reason this is the first pico8 game I've played this jam, which is really unusual… where are all those pixely retro games?!
Anyhow… this game was very different from what I expected, rather than the typical platformer I expected I originally struggled to get past the title screen. Playing further and further and being able to start to make sense of the often times rather minimalist and cryptic scene on the screen was really rewarding and I had a ton of fun :slight_smile:
Really fun entry, the puzzles were really solid and gave me that all important AHA moment when I solved them! Really enjoyed this one, the light effects were really nice too.
very cool concept :fire:
It took me a while to understand how the puzzles worked but once I started getting it I had a really good time with it. I really liked the puzzles that were centered around information gathering through the use of light, and the one where you have to extinguish the torch to get by the sensor. I feel like you used few features, but you used them very well and explored they're potential well!
At some point in the middle though, (After the soundtrack change) one of my boxes seemed to teleport away from me to an unreachable location making it seemingly impossible to continue. Shortly thereafter I got stuck on a corner and couldn't move haha.
Great work, had a blast! Glad to hear that you learned some new tools from this process too!
Looks gorgeous and sounds great. The puzzles are neat, although I got stuck quite a few times due to bugs. But the concept is really nice!
