How does you game fit the theme?
You're not alone with your shadow always by your side! By working with your shadow friends you're able to escape this dungeon.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
We only had one asset that we did not make.

The VFX, graphics and lighting in this game are outstanding. Very very beautiful. Congrats!
Thanx:)
Ok game has little messy controls and i dont know why, but people just map their controls only on keyboards, witch makes game little messy.
Game is very buggy, i encountered things from fling enemy, to game breaking down after attacking. Game has beautiful animations, and ok music other than that audio sounds great. Game feels extremely punishing, when enemy hits you do not get little rest period and many times i run into enemy again and again losing like 3 lives in 0.5 seconds making me restart, but game doesn't have any checkpoints so i re spawn at tutorial.
Some mechanics also are punning - combat is useless with hiding
- double jump inst snappy making jumps pain
- hiding is good but enemy can still hit you even when you are hiding
Game looks like you spent like 5-6 days on visuals and then you relized crap i need to make game out of it and it was too late, to playtest, because you would find lots of these problems i just describe in like 10 minutes of the playtesting
Great graphic and audio and everything else is good but not good enough.

Uh okey, first - thanx for playing and feedback. Second - we were working as much time as we can and every person in our team were make theirs part(music, art, coding) as good as they have time for it. There is pretty complicated mechanics and there was only week of time. And about resting time - that is good idea, I wasn't think about that yet:) We will continue working on game, bugs will be fixed, stuffs will be added and game will be not that hard to play.
really great game very fun to play loved it
great work.
Thanx, very nice to hear:D! We will continue making the game:)
goodluck hope it turns out well
I am really amazed by graphic and lighting design of this game! I would like to feedback that after attacking, animations might be buggy. Also I cant hide or jump while this bug happens. Really really good work on those graphics ! Audio is nice too.
Thanx for playing and your feedback:) Yup, there a bug with cat claws, if u attack one time, then wait a little and only after that attack again - then it will not break a game, but of course we will fix that in future:^)
Art and animation are amazing! Great atmosphere as well! I played most of the game without attacking to avoid the bug that locks you in an animation state (I think it has already been identified), so this increased the difficulty of the game a bit. I also sometimes took damage on platforms that didn't have spikes. But otherwise it was really fun playing, I really liked the character movements!
Thanx, thats really cool, that even with bugs it was fun to play:D ! We planning to continue making this game after a little break:) And ofcourse we will fix bugs, add stuffs and will make it little easier to play:^)
I like the concept. The art style is just amazing! And I love the animations! The game is moody and mysterious. The audio and the lights are doing really good job. In the beginning I had a problem with attacking, but then it laid out. Nice game!
Thanx:)
This is gorgeous looking. There were a few bugs in the player controller. There was a nasty bug that stopped all my animations and prevented me from performing any actions. But this is a neat little platformer.
Thanx:) Yeah there still bugs in game yet, we will fix that in future:^)
Bro this game is great !
Best game I tried in this jam
Better than my game of course😅
Game art and sounds are fantastic
There's only one thing happens to me
when I take the cat claw all animations stop and I can't do anything until I die
Overall, Best experience in the jam
GO ON BRO!
Thanx!:D Nice to hear that u like our game:) Yeah there a bug with cat claws, if u attack one time, then wait a little and only after that attack again - then it will not break a game, but of course we will fix that in future:^)
This was a really well made game. I loved the animations and the art style. The theme fit was tight and the overall vibe was great.
Cool! Thanx:)
Great game! With a pleasant and mysterious atmosphere. Sometimes there were bugs, but that's forgivable. Great job! =)
Thanx my dear cube friend=))
Lowkey graphics reminded me of ori and the blind forest. My pixel art is nowhere even close to as good as this. Great job!
Could review my pixel art/game?

Thanx:) Yup il check out your game!
no problem! Thank you!
Very beautiful game ! Great job !
Thanx! :)
Amazing art and concept! I really like the cat and bird friends. The glide mechanic was cool. Great job! :)
Thanx:)
Beautiful game, it really sets set mood well. I think the initial pacing could be worked on a bit. It goes straight to danger before I could really take in what the text said. But great work c:
Thanx:) And yeah u right about instructions, we will fix that.
the art is very good and its pretty fun, the only thing is, when I die the music keeps playing and it keeps stacking on each other so it got kinda annoying and sometimes I would glitch and I couldnt do anything
Thanx:) Yea there some bugs but we will fix them:^) Thanks for reporting the bug!
The music continued to compound over itself and the attack broke the animation of the player but it looks super nice and it was fun. Plus it was pretty unique!
Thank you:) Yea there still few bugs but we will fix them:^) Thanks for reporting the bug!
Great graphics !
Thanx;)
Fantastic animations and very nice glow on your sprites.
Thanx:)
Amazing animations dude. so very fluid
Thanx:D
