The graphics are just beautiful! The character design reminded me a lot of "night of the rabbit". The backgrounds are a bit simpler of course, but that is to expected on a game jam game. It is really wonderful what you have done with the graphics!
I first didn't get that shift actually did something. Because of the picture with the burning (altar?)stone, I thought you could interact with them but I didn't really find any way to interact. Only the saving mechanism and that you need to have at least one moth to make it work.
I didn't get that far though, cause some parts were rather difficult to do. The jumping mechanism didn't work that well. The walljump felt pretty clunky. As you were also a moth I had the wish to fly/glide quite a few times... ;)
I actually think you could develop something great out of what you have there. I mean it IS already pretty cool. But with a bit more testing and with some more implemented story, it could be awesome. I might play it again, to see if I get past where I got stuck.
One last thing: The zooming out, when the character respawns takes quite long. When I was stuck at the same point for some while, it was really annoying to always have to wait so long before trying again.
I do hope you get some more ratings for this beautiful game!
