Great little game, loved the atmosphere and art/sound direction in general! Not sure that the fall damage was necessary, but other than that pretty well put together!

The rock tossing 'light up' mechanic is brilliant. I really dig the aesthetics, even if it is an obvious nod to Limbo. The sound is nicely done, too. Great mood throughout. Good work!

Awesome job w/ the concept & graphics. Although, I would have preferred a slightly more 'realistic' ending >:D

The art was beautifully done and the rock mechanic is clever. Too bad gameplay-wise the game doesn't shine much; it is fairly linear and not too challenging.

I tried to look at the gameplay video, but I can't stand game videos made by someone that loves to hear his own voice that much.

Nice graphic lighting,theme + great mood. But the game was not very funny. I get bored pretty fast :/

I found a bug...I get stuck after dying. My feet were in the ground and I couldn't walk/jump anymore. (second or third checkpoint I think)

This bug aside, I think this game is awesome. The rock mechanics are brillant. Too bad it's quite easy to play without the rocks (at first I didn't even know I could throw rocks)
