Good hello night,
graphics are cool (some minor glitch but the ambiance is really nice), cool sounds too.
Sometimes orbs spawn really far, the ability to throw orbs could be nice.
Separate jump and grab too, the same control for both is troubling.
Have a great day!

Very nice very moody. good execution! Awesome! The only thing is that I'm missing some sound effects and the player could feel a bit more responsive.

Nice game, I think there are huge fps drops in game. When bed stayed outside of the perspective, my game really lagged and I could not play it after first light. You may want to look at this issue or this may be my computer's meltdown.

As the comment above stated that it would be better to separate jump and grab as its a bit confusing, either way its a very cute game and I love that bed in the middle!

I don't really undertsant the goal of the game. It was written "Space to pick up a like" but when you're spawning and you don't see any light on the ground, you only jump while pressing Space, so it maybe need a little clarification.
Also, the big problem for was i literally had 5 FPS (my computer is not so bad).
The mood is nice but graphics are generally a little bit poor in my opinion if we take consideration you was 4 to make the game.
The idea is good, but i think it could be better if intensity of bed's light was progressively decreasing and not instantly, and of course, increasing when we set a new light.
Good luck with the rest :)

@akadream not having the graphics problems you are at all. So that's odd. It also clearly says light at the bottom of the screen. Also there are giant sphere's emitting light in the game. So as much as I appreciate the feedback. Seems a little harsh.

Cool art and animation of the characters. The light was sometimes difficult to pick up.
