Shadows have overtaken Luca's glade it seems some candle flies were lost in the process. Together they may have a chance at removing the shadows that shroud the glade and bring peace once again.

This doesn't work on the godot site. We hosted our godot web game on itch and it worked straight out of the box. There's still time to upload it there!

I got stuck at the first bridge that vanishes when the light is removed. Could not figure a way past it.
Lovely visuals, sound and mood though.

@designernap If you'd like another go at it to see the rest of the game, you can hover the mouse over the little switch to keep the bridge up longer! The instructions do disappear rather quickly

Best game i've played of the jam so far hands down in terms of cohesion of the whole package! To me, everything about this works, the charming graphics, the light mechanics integrated with the puzzle design, story is introduced quickly and seemlessly and reinforces the core gameplay. It's very short and sweet but it's a gamejam that's expected, the important is the content that's there is tighly focused and the pacing is absolutely excelent. Very well done!

Nice puzzle you made there :blush: At first I was a bit confused about the controls but I figured it out.

It's a good game, if you don't take into account the bug with getting stuck in place

Nice visual! I like the story line a lot and it's really an immersive experience!

One advice would be that it doesn't feel natural that the log can only fit in one piece of water but not the others. Another thing is that I got stuck with no comeback a lot and has to restart the game from the beginning...Also seems that space to use axe doesn't work for me...

Overall a great game! Like the theme a lot!

This is my favourite submission so far in this jam. I got stuck where everyone else has mentioned... and then again once I picked up the second little guy. As frustrating as that was, something about this game made me want to give it enough chance. I'de love to play it again if you can fix the bugs as I didn't complete the game yet. Great work - visuals and the theme was a mood!

Great job! Lovely art and nice idea! I had some issues with the log tho, I will try again later because I really liked the vibe!

Cool visuals and story!

What a charming concept! It took me a while to figure out the controls though (that could be a bit more clear) and I, too, got stuck at the log part. However, the art is so beautiful (congrats to the artist/s, it´s one of the prettiest I´ve seen so far). Great idea, it just needs some adjustments! imo :)
PS: I don´t know if it is supposed to have music, that would make it a much cozier/prettier experience. But for just two people in such a short amount of time this is awesome!

Neat game - really liked the painted style of graphics, really it was quite beautiful!

Definitely could have used some more challenging puzzles - however, it was a nice walk through with a cool vibe :)

A cute and atmospheric game. I found the control of the small light sources confusing once there were two.

The art and music combined make for such a nice vibe here, I love it and it honestly feels really polished. I liked traveling throughout the levels and like the puzzle-ish elements involved with the lights, though I did start getting a strange bug where the camera would start shaking and flying around for whatever reason. Really nice work!
