How does you game fit the theme?
The Player character is not alone as his shadow is always there to help him
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
All the assets were made from scratch including the music also. The same holds true for all the code.

The pixel art and the animations in this game are amazing. The shadow and the character are super cool and the gameplay is very interesting. Good job!
Cool game! Liked the puzzles!
Amazing graphics and creative use of the theme! The puzzles are also a lot of fun to solve!
One OF The Best Game In The Game Jam I Hope You Update It And Add More Level
I Like The Idea OF Shadow And
And Sorry For Late Rating
Thank you soo much. We are planning to add more to the game, More levels, mechanics, a smol story
I liked the graphics and the lighting and the game is quite fun. The puzzle are simples but well made. Maybe just sometimes if difficult to understand which light is affecting the shadow if which light does not. But overall it's a really nice game and the music and the title screen are so nive ! Well done !
Great game! Well done in all aspects! Bravo!!
Very very cool indeed
Nice Game.... Your animation and Art is really nice.... Very Good Job.
Hello. The game was very nice! rated! Please try mine, too. It has WebGL output.
Thanks
Really great game!
The graphics and design are great and I especially love the animations! It reminds me of the first games I played when I was a kid where special attention was paid to the drawings.
Another big positive point: the music! Did you make them yourself?
Really a big applause to you!
Yes I made the music on beep box. Thanks a lot
Great art! Also, I really like the main mechanic, I think it has a lot of potential. I did have some issues with figuring out what I could interact with at first. Maybe some color outline that's consistent across all interactable objects? Also, second level I didn't realize I could jump on the bookcases, maybe making the outline on them darker so they stand out more could work.
Fantastic game! The pixel art was really beautiful and I particularly liked the smoke animation :) I think the level design was really fun and intuitive and I had a blast figuring out the puzzles. The music and sound were also unique and tied the game together well.
I would only adjust the friction to 0 in game, so I don't get stuck on walls when jumping. Other than that, great game, overall!
Keep up the good work.
Great game the tutorial was amazing and the graphics where beautiful
Awesome! Tutorial is great!! The mechanics are very interesting. It was hard to notice if there was a change when I pressed the switch, so it would have been easier to tell if there was any noise. But it's a great game!
Thank you. We will add some sort of indication that some thing happened after the switch is pressed
I love arts and smooth animations! Movement controls are a bit troublesome and also the shadow is almost invisible on the dark background. Some kind of outline would be great.
Nice game!
Nice concept, I think art and music are really nice. I wasn't able to get past the second level, but maybe that was my fault. I did have a couple of suggestions though, like adding a frictionless physics material to the object to avoid getting stuck on walls and adding an indicator for when the shadow is too close to light. Overall great job though, and love the smoke button.
Yeah we actually totally forgot to add the frictionless mat.
And it didnt seem right to alter it post submission time, so maybe once the voting period is done we can upload an updated version
Thank you for the feed back and rating. <3
Really like the artistic style of the game and the way you and your shadow need each other to progress. Character got stuck on the sides of object while jumping though
Thank you. we will be fixing that issue
Getting strong GunPoint vibe. Congrats on submitting! All the best.
Thank youuu
Really loved the look and animations of the game, as well as the concept. Great work!
Thank you so much
Really cool concept! And I like the tutorial. The animations are great with details especially calling shadow back. The art style is amazing, maps are well made, definitely five. The music is outstanding - matches the game and together with lights add atmosphere. Critics: player can hang on walls. Really unique idea with this shadow! Enjoyed!
Really nice job!
Thanks a lot.
