Ranked from 6 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does you game fit the theme?
The player move set is enhanced by teaming up with their shadow, which then accompanies the player.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
code tutorials were used as a baseline for some generic features like player movement. More specialist features I wrote myself.

All assets are mine but the player player sprite (which was traced from here https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/2d/characters/prototype-hero-pixel-art-144765 ).
