Got stuck bouncing to the bushes on the right, left to the platform. Guess the bushes, that made player character bounce, were just too wide. Got stuck walking top of the hill, because there's a smallest little overhang. Liked looks very much :)
There's something about games which play with light that I instantly like. It's a shame you didn't get to implement the things you mentioned in the blog post.
A nice game, but unfortunately I guess it's more of a tech demo than a full game! I really like the graphical style, but as you admit yourself it's rather light on the content. I managed to escape from the level on both sides, too. Keep going with it, though!

Ths graphics are quite neat in their lo-fi way. I also like the firefly-idea.
Also, I fell of the level. Unity-colliders have the habit of being scaleable at very steep hills :-)
Would have been nice to see more involved in catching the fireflies, perhaps some have to be chased or something. The visuals have potential, and theres a couple of nice graphics tricks in play.
nice graphics, i always like silhouette style games. the first time i played the game i couldn't move, opened it up again and it could. i jump off the world into oblivion!!, the walls on the side of the gameplay around can be jumped up and outof play
Although I'd mostly characterize this as an impressive tech demo, it was an engaging experience, nonetheless. I was actually sad when I realised there was only three fireflies :P I want moar!
Despite the brevity and marked lack of audio this was a beautiful entry, methinks.
Nice. I think a jump up & jump down anim could add a lot. With a light content like this, You can find the escape feeling by jumping the slope and falling forever ^_^
Got stuck on the bush, same as stRana. Very nice art style, too bad that what there is can be done in about ten seconds (you could at least add "fireflies collected" message or something) and consists just from simple walking. Works as a nice visual concept, not as a game.

Love the graphical style you've used here - quite LIMBOesque. Allowed me to leap into places I shouldn't have been able to though, which was a shame. The lights were fantastic,lots of atmosphere.
Well done, but looks like a tech-demo with some collision bugs and obviously not a finished game. The art is pretty good, only very 3D look of character mismatches with very 2D look of the map. Otherwise, art is pretty good. I guess it fits the theme in a way. Would want to see more in a polished version. P.S. need a loading screen or it starts in a buggy partially sprite-less world.

It's a shame there's only one level, I would've really liked to see others.
