Torch Runner

Beautiful tree models, especially leafs and character animation.

Feels more like a tech demo than a game, but very pretty. Music adds a lot of atmosphere too. Good job!

This is just beautiful O.o

Hello, I loved your music and graphics, it was really nice and relaxing. What I miss in it is some meaning, I didn't get why am I running around and gathering white lights and sometimes I got totally lost and didn't find any light at all. Just me in the dark forest :/

I didn't get a strong sense of the darkness encroaching on me, and I wish the cause effect relationship of picking up the lights and the light strength was more apparent

It looks amazing

Very cool graphics!

I like the art, specially the lights and shadows. :smile:

The low poly art is cool! I especially really like the torch and fire particles. It would be fun to have some sort of indicator of progression that tell the player collecting orbs is rewarding. Maybe make the torch a little brighter the more orbs you get. The aesthetic is really cute in general!

The art style is clean and the music is fitting, though it could have made with a clearer chord progression :) I'm not sure if I understood what to do in the game since there's no lose/win state, just sort of aimlessly looking for orbs until you've had enough. Since I expected some sort of progression this turned a bit boring after a while. On the other hand, it was actually a very relaxing and nice experience at first, which I think is one of the strengths of this submission. Perhaps it would've been beneficial if you somehow explained to the players that it's more of a "toy" to run around and relax in than a "game", at least that would help me set my expectations. But it could be that I'm missing something obvious, in which case just @ me and I'll happily replay the game :) But overall I think the game sets a nice mood from the start, and it hints at something more ominous happening with the creepy-like music coming from some of the orbs and eerie atmosphere sounds. A little bit more "game" and this would be a really cool project I think :)

We played your game on stream!

This game was just downright adorable. I especially loved the little hair bobs on the character as she moved. :smile:

Sorry we got a little sidetracked with tangents while we played. :pray: From what I could tell, I wasn't able to find any end-state? Regardless, this was a nice, peaceful romp to end our day with. :slight_smile:
