Pale Night

What an exciting project !
Since I'm part of the team, I'm not gonna write an evaluation but rather tell you what a priviledge it has been to work on Pale Night. I've composed the music and made the sound design, something I had never done before. And Simon gave me that opportunity. He has made this game with passion and love and I hope you guys find it to your liking !

Amazing game! If you enjoy platformers like Super Meat Boy, Thomas Was Alone, Celeste and the like, you won’t be disappointed with Pale Night!
The graphics are great, the music suits the environment very well and the mechanics are top notch. Everything is wrapped in a very cute little story that will make you love squares and circles.
It’s very cool to see that the game was made by only one person and its music composer, great experience overall!

I've been following the development of this game for a long time. I love this challenging die and retry game. It runs perfectly. The progressive challenges and the music are fantastic. It feels so good when you finally overcome a difficult obstacle.
You won't be disappointed, and it's excellent quality for a fair price!

I enjoyed my time with Pale Night. The controls felt great. The added spice on the platformer genre in the form of the light mechanics were interesting. In terms of difficulty, I'd say it is generally accessible though it has some challenging parts in the main path. The art, while minimalistic, does have some charm. Reaching the end credits can be done pretty fast, but the game offers collectibles to fetch, hidden or harder to reach, which adds a challenge and therefore can help spending more time. Given the game nature, it also presents some speedrunning value if one is interested.
The games works fine on steam deck with proton, though one should note it does not implement cloud saves at the time of writing.
Overall, Pale Night is a fun love letter to the platformer genre with a little twist, and a good accomplishment for this small team.

Cool mechanics. Not a fan of platform games but I enjoyed jumping on these walls. Looking forward to see this game speed run.

Its good, but I got stumped and stopped playing. I could not figure out how to dash past ever-present light, lol.

The game is pretty to look at, fast to learn to play, intuitive and has a good difficulty evolution if you want to be challenged. It is cheep too. I like it.
