graphics/assets could use some polish, but otherwise this was an incredibly engaging puzzle game! Music was nice bright and cheerful, love the challenges. Minor bug I found-if you place a flag behind the menu button, you are doomed.

- Really fun puzzle. Manipulating objects to block damaging light is a creative solution to the games problem. Music is very relaxing. I found myself losing a lot of time just trying to find different solutions. Make more games!
- What a fun game, it's really challenging and gives me a lot to think about. I was able to break it a few times, but nothing some testing and bug fixes can't do! The music was very nice, and it was almost relaxing to play. A tutorial level might be really good to help people really figure out how to play!

The game just uses left mouse click and left mouse click-drag-drop for controlling the position of things, and spacebar for a quick death if you want to retry faster.
It's a simple single screen puzzle game that involves moving objects around a level to cast shadows/light and have objects move in a way that lets your Shadowfey character make it's way from a start to a finish.
Shadowfey is affected by different colors of light/shadow with different mechanics, so navigating a puzzle can often be a recipe of positioning things for the right colors and shadows to be cast. The game teaches these mechanics as part of the level progression.
It's casual friendly; you can attempt a puzzle as much as you like, there are 26 levels total, with about half being teaching puzzles the other half being challenge puzzles.
It also includes a level editor (the one i used to make the puzzles) so you can make your own puzzles and share/store/import them as a copy/paste-able string.
Enjoy!
Extra Notes
Thanks for running the jam, this was my first dabble with gdscript (had to for the Godot web export), and it was fun iterating on this and watching people play test it.
