The game is kind of boring but it fits the theme. Also I found a bug when I could only jump while the dirt block is above my head. Because of it, only collected 3 stars, *sadpanda*
I quite enjoyed it overall, it certainly fit the theme. Graphics were a bit basic but worked. It introduced the torch mechanics fairly simply and built up to more difficult encounters (such as the bottomless pits) that began punishing you if you forgot that the hidden platforms aren't solid in the dark world :)
Controls were fine. It took me a while to realise that all horizontal momentum stopped when you released the key, but it meant you could be more precise in your jumps. I wouldn't have made you move with the arrow keys and jump with the mouse. WASD would be a nice option, as would space to jump. I'd hazard a guess the programmer was left handed.
I got up to 6 stars before I hit a puzzle I couldn't solve. Plus, by that point I was almost out of time. A deceptively hard game to master.
Nice game. Good job creating the contrast between light and dark world with the change of music. Jumping with mouse is kinda weird at first, but I quickly got used to it. The time-limit feels out of place, as with the first time one will probably have enough troubles discovering everything. There should rather have been an optional time-trial mode. And ghosts spawning right in your face feels really unfair.
