The art is beautiful! Music was cool too. I couldn’t get far though, the controls felt wonky. the jump felt strange, it went unexpectedly high but not too far horizontally.
Thank you for your feedback!
This game is very cool, and the game sound is very nice. If you like this idea, keep working on it! Awesome job submitting a good game to this jam and I hope you learned a lot of new stuff. When you have time, please check out my game :D
Thank you! Maybe we will polish it further and post again. Enjoyed your game!
the atmosphere was pretty good.
Thank you!
Great presentation, the music, sound effects and the visuals give a really nightmarish feel to it. I like the mechanics too, especially the flashlight, even though I'm not sure what lighting the torches does. It ran pretty slowly on my PC unfortunately (although it's a mid-priced laptop, probably runs fine on better systems), and I found myself falling through platforms a lot. Ultimately a cool concept, definitely found myself wanting to see if there was anything at the top.
Thank you! Lighting torches also kills spores in the radius of light, but some balance could have made them more essential.
Was loving the visuals, but when the game started it was very hard for me to control the character, not sure if my machine is too slow :(
The music was really intense, seems like it can be quite a frantic gameplay!
Sorry about the issues, you can try a download version if it was the browser that gave you trouble. Thanks!
Cool game! I was taken aback of how scary it was but it really works!
Controls felt a little bit wonky to me. Music and visuals were awesome!
Thank you! Controls can definitely be streamlined given the pace of the movement.
The music and movement jammed in my pc but the presentation is amazing

Sorry about the glitching, learned an important lesson about test building for performance before final build. :)
It's a bit confusing on how to progress but the presentation is amazing! Thanks for playing my game
Thank you for the feedback!
This was a fun little platformer, with really nice visuals and audio. I was really bad at it, although that's a personal problem haha. It was fun and enjoyable, especially after I realised how all of the mechanics work.
Great job!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome art, it's great too see how much some people can make in just 48h.
My main gripe is the slow restart, I find with hard games such as these that an almost instant restart helps you get "hooked". But overall fun and enjoyable.
Thanks! Will keep the quick restart in mind in future endeavors.
That was fun! It took me a moment to realize I could climb the vine walls so I died quickly at first but I still had a good time. The music and art are well done as well!
Thank you!
Good work on the assets, definitely a spooky vibe! I didn't even realise the fungus was shooting spores at me for the first few attempts - I was probably accidentally destroying them all when I was waving my flashlight around looking for where to go!
Congrats on finishing!
Thank you!
The audio was pretty glitchy. I imagine it was due to my browser, so no hard feelings there. As others have said, performance was pretty rough, but I absolutely loved the art. Very good work!
Thank you! Definitely needed some optimization on file size and testing for glitches, glad you enjoyed.
Wow those spores are out of control! It ran fine on my laptop. I think a bit more easing in to the controls and resetting straight back into the game would make the learning experience easier. The mouse aiming the light feels really good.
Thank you for the feedback!
Wow the art is great. It took awhile to figure the game out but real nice job!
Thank you!
Beautiful game, it was it glitched horribly in browser though.
Thanks, sorry to hear about the browser issues, ran into some problems with 2D bones that seem to cause some hiccups.
Really cool atmosphere, sadly I couldn't even figure out how to get past the first 5 seconds of the game
Thanks for the feedback, agree the start could be more clear and friendlier difficulty!
Beautiful and terrifying! The gameplay was pretty hard to figure out though, and I had some performance issues playing this on a laptop.
Sorry to hear about the performance issues, could definitely do with more optimization. Thanks for the feedback!
