Really cool idea the light was intuitive enough that a preview isn't necessary but it took me a while to figure out I should use my mouse to change the lights.
Also, a bug report if you want to keep working on the game I found you can move diagonally so on the final level I only had to change the lights once right at the end.

What a really cool idea! The light system was very intuitive and the shadows had predictable placement so it never felt frustrating. Excellent design!

Spooky picsThis is an amazing game! I think that it would be nice to see what affect the lights have on the shadows and some of the lights get clipped out if not in fullscreen.

Block HeistWhat a clever puzzle game! Great execution too. I initially wanted a way to preview the light changes, but they seemed consistent enough to predict. I dig the bassoon in the music track too.

Raise Your SpiritsThe presentation is very neat! However, I think it'd be better if the player had some way of knowing for sure how the shadows will change when switching the lights. Right now, I was kind of hoping for the best when I was clicking on different lights and was never certain whether I was standing in the right spot. Maybe it's just me, though.

UnderhandedGreat puzzle mechanics. I was initially confused about how to change the light because i didn't pay enough attention to the text. Perhaps shortcut keys for each light would be night, and you could put a letter notification next to each light so the player instantly visualizes how to control the lighting.
