I really like the light game mechanic! The shaders look awesome and the music and sound effects are really fitting. I only wish there was more to do gameplay-wise. Beautiful graphics.

Beautiful design, can tell a lot of effort was put into the environment and visual style.
Great Job!

Perfect jam game! I loved what you did! I was a little lost when I fell from a path, but the decor is amazing and the music is really good. Really satisfying to complete the game.

The game is beautiful, psychedelic and has an art style that drew me attention

It looks nice, but the mechanich with light feels gimmicky, since there is no reason not to press E all the time (what I ended up doing).

Nice graphics and music, the mood and atmoshpere you created are awesome but it becomes a bit repetitive. A mechanic to prevent you from spamming the light button would be nice as well as some rewards for collecting a certain number of gems (maybe unlock an ability of some sort ?). However it's still a pretty cool game, congrats ! :)

Thanks for the feedback everybody!

I was trying to implement more mechanics and content but I barely made it to the deadline unfortunately.

Very cool mechanic and the look, feel and sound all come together for a nice mood. Not a ton to do, but because the environment was nice I explored the dark for a little extra time.

Nice game, I love the unveiling of the objects by flashing the light on the end of the hat :smiley:

Sometimes I found the camera to behave very weirdly, especially when there is a big object in behind the camera.

Cool concept and love the neon lights/colors. Would love to see it fleshed out with more puzzles etc. Great work!
