I really love the concept, and the mechanics make a lot of sense. I do think it would be better if the timing weren't as tight, although I am probably below average when it comes to speedy puzzle platforming.

Great job!!  The most important thing with this kind of games is to perfect the difficulty and having an original mechanic. both were great. Not too hard, not too easy either and kept me hooked till the end.


The only complaint I have is that ur tourches are inconsistent. Like ur colliders dont work properly or it might just be that I need to hit a specific spot (if thats the case make their radious bigger). Thats something u should work on other than that everything is amazing. Create more levels and this could be a commercial game
