It made it difficult to fall past certain 1tile wide gaps because it kept thinking I wanted to climb up or something.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also, my walking animation glitched at one point, it looked like it kept alternating between the falling animation or something.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Took a while to figure out to hold up the light to make the dark disappear, and never figured out how to open the chests (unless that animation with the bright light was opening the chests? it looked like she got on the ground and opened it, but the chest didn't look any different so it was confusing).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I really wish there was some music and sounds. Would've added a lot to the ambiance.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>So, I explored and scared away the darkness but couldn't really figure out what to do from there.
