A Light Dawn is a game that was made for the Jame Gam #36.

It is a Puzzle Platformer where you use candlelight to travel through a dark and scary maze. The twist is that some lights seems to bring you to another ethereal world !

Oh and maybe there's like a secret room or something with a "true ending" ;)


Controls are explained in game if you struggle but they are :

- A and D (or Q and D) / Left Stick to move left and right

- Space / A button to jump

- Left Shift / B button to pickup candle

Very cool game!  I played this to the end and had fun playing.  The interaction between the two candle styles was very creative and you made some clever puzzles out of it.  The music also does a great job of communicating when you're out of range of the light.  

If you develop the idea further, or do a post-jam update, consider adding a Reset key that would function like dying.  I got softlocked twice when I got stuck between a platform from the white dimension and wall from the dark one (image below) and had to start the game over. 

All around great game!
