How does you game fit the theme?
Entrapped in a strange facility, you find your way to the exit through the use of shadows - creating blocks from nothing and entrances where there would otherwise be none. All you have is Emmett, your happy-go-lucky Companion Cube (Not to be confused with Portal's CC). As you make your way out, you begin to question what's real.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
yes... everything except for a single song(not copyrighted)

Wow, fantastic project! Using the shadows like this was a really cool idea, you had a great aesthetic for a puzzle game. The inspiration from Portal was very clear and endearing.
I think a very short tutorial or story element could add a lot to the game. It took me a while to figure out what I needed to do, and I didn't always understand a clear motivation or goal for each stage.
I liked the sparse, mysterious vibe, but I still think adding music to the levels could go a long way without getting rid of that.
Nicely done! I would definitely be interested in playing a fleshed-out version of this.
wow, well done , what a game
grabbing the shadows is an amazing idea, but i had to come here to investigate to find out it was even possible, congratulations on your work! very original and fun!
Wow, impressive mechanics! Well done: i liked it
nice game!
First of all, VERY innovative game! Like others have already pointed out, I didn't really know what to do, after I opened the game, I was staring at the computer screen (very cool) for 5 minutes trying to figure out how to start the game. But you guys killed it with the gameplay, grabbing shadows is so cool, I've never seen something like this, once I got a hang of it, the game became much more enjoyable. Excellent work guys, you killed it!
I needed to check the gifs on your game page to figure out what to do. It would be nice if the game give you this first little info :)
Anyway, this is a very awesome concept, keep working on this. Awesome work :)
Your game has a cool concept and fits the theme pretty well. The Gameplay is fun the music is relaxing and it isn't too hard (I don't know why thought it's gonna be hard). Really good and polished game. Well done! =]
You are the only person that said it "isnt too hard". Everybody says how the game is too hard and they get stuck on the first level, so props to you :D
