Very solid platformer. I loved all the little surprises and mechanics throughout the different levels I encountered so far. This game brings some really cool vibes and a breath of fresh air. I would definitely recommend it !

Pretty platform game that uses really clever and original mechanisms, with pleasant soundtrack.
Looks like a beautiful tribute to super meat boy, which Super meat boy forever failed miserably to give.
For sure will become a great One-man studio that you need to follow.
can't wait for a second game !

[h1]Great game, short, but sweet :)[/h1]
I definitely recommend for all precision-platformer lovers.
The art and music are very beautiful, characters - simplistic and cute. Levels are challenging, but not super hardcore. The extra missions for each level are present as well.
The highlight (no pun intended) of this game is, of course, the fact that our main character has to avoid light. There are some helpful powers for making our way through. The boss fights were cool :)
Overall, a great experience.
Thank you for the game!

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

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.

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!

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!
