How does your game fit the theme?
The size of the shadows that fill the shapes scales according to the distance to the light source. More of a jumping point for ideas than direct inspiration.

Very good looking game with a unique concept. : )
However, especially once the tilt mechanic becomes necessary it becomes very tedious to get the shape just right. One idea could be to give the player different/more objects that make it easier to align the shadows and give extra points for completing it the hard way.
Another thing: the tilt seems to be defined as the rotation around the global canvas x-axis, which feels a bit weird to me since tilting typically happens around a local axis of the object. I don't know if it's actually better for your case, but you could try implementing the tilt to rotate around a local axis (depending on where the mouse drags) instead (although this is also a lot trickier to implement ; ) ).
This must be the work of an enemy stand:
Yeah, eventually we decided the tilting mechanic was too finicky so you'll notice we stopped including it in the later puzzles. Perhaps a better idea would have been if the items only have two profiles (one for side and another for front/back) that made different silhouettes so the players don't have to mess around with the rotation too much.
Haha we ALMOST forgot to submit the game 😭 We we're too relieved with finishing it and uploading it on time to remember actually filling in the game jam submission form haha!
The objects are jam-packed with Jojo references, I'm glad somebody noticed them haha!
Anyway, yeah! Thanks for playing our game! We really appreciate it :)
Thanksfor playing our game!
We appreciate your feedback and agree with your that the verifying is a bit too strict. We would have adjusted it if we didn't run out of time, so we're definitely gonna update it once the review period is finished.
And what can I say, great people have good taste in main music 😎
