The game's idea is quite good, actually. I just don't see why the game's cursed?

Bunch of pretty good mechanics, a little pacing would help. But overall i enjoyed this

Good:
Neat idea with switching to the shadow world!

Needs work:
The tutorial sign about the switch to the shadow world could have been placed better. I am only saying this because I tried to jump the gap twice bc reading tutorial is for suckers and I am bitter.  Also, where are the checkpoints

Nifty gameplay! Some kind of juice to indicate when you succeed in unlocking the next step could make gameplay more intuitive. 

Just played this through, good work my friend! Congratulations on getting something finished and submitted on time! My thoughts:

• When you introduce mechanics, let me use them before introducing a second mechanic.
• I would have liked more 'Juice' or player feedback from my actions. Like when I hit one of the switches with a shadow spot, some sort of visual effect or sound.
• My first play through I ran straight into the sun shine and died. I think it might be nice if you introduced the shadow world mechanic and made us use it before introducing dying from the sunshine. 

All in all, good quick fun!
