Cool idea and good music, but definitely not for me.  Platforming is solid, but the flashing neon lights and darkness left me with a headache.  Physically, I simply could not continue making attempts to finish the levels.

Thank you so much for the game review. I understand that the game is not for everyone, however your review has inspired me to atleast try to make the game more accessible. The best idea I could come up to solve this problem is to allow the player to control the brightness of the flashing lights.

I am glad you liked the base idea. Thank you once again for the review
