Everyone knows that actors have issues finding their spotlight. Luckily for you, you're no actor, nor are you getting paid like one. You are a lowly stagehand, struggling to ensure that the production goes off without a hitch. There's only one problem: it's the final tech rehearsal and the lighting cues are still a little... off.

Run, jump, and avoid actors as you struggle to reach the spotlights and make sure everything's working as planned. But between moving stage platforms, other stage techs, trapdoors, and your angry, impatient boss, you've got your work cut out for you.

This could've been really nice. Too bad that the controls were just a bit too sluggish. and the acceleration in the air is a bit too much. I like the idea of the game though, it just needed some polish! Good job!

A cute idea, spotty physics make it more difficult to enjoy but otherwise very fun.

not easy to play, main character inertia should be lower I think, but I like the graphics and the mood

Great concept, love the art. Music is great. Needs a little tuning on the physics to tighten up the controls IMHO. Also would be great if you can reduce the size somehow.. 360MB is pretty big!

Hola! I am very good at finding light! However, even best of us slip up, and sometimes I forced to hit "continue" button; after this, at least for me, sometimes light does not come back out and I am sad? Otherwise is pretty happy!

Also, surprising not accepting ratings in audio!

Really cool concept, and it fits really well with the theme.
Sadly I'm very good, just keep falling into traps ^^"

It felt like it really should be fun. The only really breaking thing was the physics - I would get caught on the side of things and be able to triple jump off them, catch while falling down a hole, and numerous other weird bugs. It also felt really floaty to play. Graphically, it was good, and the music fit well. The boss's quotes were quote amusing too.
