The darkness thing might entirely a problem with my vision and my hardware setup. On my main monitor I could sorta see the layout of the ground if I stood up rather than sat down, but on my other monitors, it was almost entirely dark except the specifically lit areas and the ?snow?.

A photo, which probably doesn't help much: two.png On the top, the path I came from going downwards is still kinda visible. On the monitor I was seeing the screen from, that was pretty much all black.
One of the viewers was able to see the snow, but said it looks solid: https://www.twitch.tv/annmwhite/clip/AnimatedAdventurousSwordMoreCowbell-St4bSII...
Basically, if the floor, spikes, switches, etc are meant to be visible, it's really really hard to see? Which I kinda assumed may have been the point.
