A difficult jump game, but I don't know what happens every 10 seconds

Graphics look nice, but I'm not really sure where the game is going after playing for a bit

A really nice game!! I wasn't able to finish it, but thats only my talents fault xD Really liked the glowing mushrooms and the sound they make. I did notice tho that the walking sound continues even when jumping on the mushrooms

I really liked the environment art, could not get past the mushroom cave.

Moment with one mushroom from which I had to jump to the other side in almost full darkness made me quit, you should consider making it easier. What are 10 seconds in this game is a mystery for me. Character is awsome. good job)

Liked the mushrooms idea. Also it's great when the game has the ending and even the resolution. Good.

I really really liked the mushroom bit, perhaps you could extend that section to create a whole game rotating around that section's mix of light/dark + platforming? Nice job!

Looks very cool, light intensity is a bit much but it's a nice mechanic. But I feel like making it dark in a platforming game kind of takes away from the core mechanic :( But it's a nice concept. Oh, I also loved the sounds and the atmosphere :) Overall, nice job!

I liked the backgrounds. The dialog was a bit wierd, it restarted when I pressed W and moved on when I pressed SPACE.

Simple and beautiful, I finished the game, I guess is not a game for everyone since the mushrooms add a frustration topic that some people wont enjoy, but I really like it, overall a 5.

the sounds are awesome and graphics is simple but neat. I kinda liked walking around and jumping over traps.

Love how weird the world is. The art and level design are great together and make for some pretty sections. I wish the end had a bit more detail although I guess that was just due to time. Overall it's a very nice experience!

The game has very creepy atmosphere which has so much potential.

Would've loved to see a create or something chase you in the dark to add a bit of pressure and suspense. :wink:

Nice job on getting a game finished during a single weekend! I appreciate the creepy vibes going on here. Art was a little simplistic and much of the topography was just a simple grey rectangle, but also there's only so much one can accomplish during a game jam. Good work!

Nicely done game, with a very unique vibe. I was expecting a jumpscare at the end, but I'm glad it didn't happened :D.

I liked the art and backgrounds. Cool mood!

It was interesting and fun to play. 10 eyes flying in the dark out of 10)))

I really loved the design of the town! The character design was fun, and I liked every level. There *was* a single **blind jump** where I walked off a short cliff without being able to see what was below me and landed on a fence, dying, but there was a checkpoint right there, so I guess it's fine. I like the enemy at the end of the game. The designs for all the creatures are really cool! Great work.
