What do you think?

Very nice game! It was very polished, especially for a game jam, the only thing that was missing in my opinion was background music. Other than that, it was great! Keep it up!

Nice looking game, reminds me the old days ♥

Hey, your game looks awesome! I’d recommend doing the following to turn it into a bigger success on Game Jolt. :)

1. Post about your game, news and updates in as many communities as it makes sense! Communities like Game Dev or Arts n Crafts will get your posts in front of thousands of users! Find more communities here: https://gamejolt.com/communities.
2. Write a bio on your profile! A complete profile always looks more legitimate in the eyes of the community. This is a great place to add in your website or other social channels.
3. Post and update your followers frequently to stay on their radar!

Very cool looking game, very retro I also dropped a rentro-isk adventure game here recently as well let me know if you like!

Bachelor's thesis keeping me busy, but here's a small (and very late) post jam update for #SpiritLantern, featuring small gameplay changes, decorative artwork, controller support and button rebinding.
