Awesome animation for the death where shadow gets you and audio design was awesome, gameplay wise I only wish you could move diagonally and it also took me some time to figure out what I am supposed to do lol.
But when I figured it out it was pretty obvious and easy. 

Cool!

Really cool game!! I really like the death animation and the implementation of the theme was solid. I really you could move diagonally, since it would make it much more easy to explore the level a  bit more. In either case, pretty good game.

I absolutely love the death animation. The shadow coming out and devouring you is really cool!

I think the controls should be mentioned in-game since I only found out about the glasses mechanic after I beat it and saw it in the description.

Otherwise a pretty solid game!

Death animation is great! The game itself is fun and simple. (=

Probably you can zoom out faster in the shadow - because you are safe there is no point to wait longer afer each stone. But overall - very polished game! (=

Cool game, I really wish you could move diagonally. That way the game would be a little easier. Awesome idea though and the animation is so clean.

Wow! Super stressful but I made it to the bunker haha! Very cool idea to try to outrun your shadow and amazing death animation! Great implementation of the themes :)

Cool game, however I didn't find any car to go further after the third one ... Is there some hidden key to run ?

Edit: I found out that another player could zoom out more than me so I wasn't able to see where I needed to go... I don't know where this bug could come from ?

Yeah the fourth shadow is more difficult to find, (try going offroad!). Don't know what's the problem with cleaning the glasses, maybe you're not holding N?

Thanks for the reply ! I was looking at a friend playing the game and for some reason he could see much further than me and we were both holding N so I didn't really unserstand why.. Maybe it is because I was on brave on Linux and he was on Chrome on macos ? Or maybe related to the fps ? I honestly have no clue
