Out of Sight, Out of Mind - a platformer where anything you can't see doesn't exist (tymowskyy.itch.io)

Hi! Last month me and a few friends participated in the 1-BIT game jam, the theme of which was light & dark. We really liked how our game turned out and decided to develop it further into a proper demo in the following weeks.

The game's main premise is that any platforms which aren't illuminated by light (and therefore aren't visible to the player), don't exist. We used this idea to create both puzzle and movement-focused levels.

As of right now, we're looking for feedback from other people, because we're considering developing the project further. Our main problem is that a lot of the feedback we received hasn't been of much use, mostly due to the fact that a lot of it was from friends and other people we know irl, which tends to be biased.

I would really appreciate it if any of you could play it and provide some feedback! It's free and playable on Windows, MacOS, Linux and in browser

Side note: I'm really, really sorry if self-promo is prohibited here, but I couldn't find a rule against it

My initial thoughts are that I absolutely love the concept! Really cool idea to play with object permanence (or lack thereof) as a game mechanic. I got as far as level 11, and at that point found that my reflexes just aren't good enough to handle the fast moving platform - but I'll give it another go later to see if I can get past it.
