I loved the mood which was set by the dark and ominous looking world and the ambient soundtrack. The gampeplay was solid as well. My main issues have to do with the fact the player accelerates a bit too fast for my liking. When you combine that with how dark the levels are the game becomes difficult to play because you move very quickly and your visibility is limited so you can't see things coming. I'd also make it so when you're next to a fire you don't have to sit around and wait for it to recharge you. Making it happen instantly will speed up the flow significantly. I only say this because it's obvious you're going for a fast-paced game.

Solid game.\n\nSometimes the controls were a bit tricky. For example at the start of the first level at the stairs going down. You had to stop on a step to be able to jump. If you came running you would be flying off the edge of a step and couldn't jump. Some games solve this by being able to jump even shortly after you left the platform.\n\nAlso it was a bit too dark, but keeping it on the darker side helped the mood.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Qu4k","author_uid":"1035168","time":"2017-08-01T14:19:48Z","epoch":1501597188,"modified":1501597188,"text":"Thanks for the amazing feedback!!
