  • Really clever use of mechanics and very different. a bit difficult to controll 2 characters at the same time, but I think with some practice it will become easier. tho I do think if you implemented controller support it would feel more intuitive and easier to play. I liked how you played into the theme as well. Will definetly be comming back to play more later.
  • Great puzzle games, loved the "Light Reaper"! I did get a bit turned around going from 'you are one with your shadow' and then almost immediately removing that same mechanic. Probably some intent I'm unaware of there, but felt odd.

I loved the vibe and I can't wait to have the rest of the plot! The mechanics are hard just right and I really like the characters and their animations, good job! <3

I love the character and the world seems interesting, but I seem to get stuck with no possibility to easily restart without refreshing. I shall come back to it every now and again to try my luck again!

Thank you for your feedback! 
You can restart the level through the Pause Menu by pressing Esc, but it would be a good idea to have a "Reset" button or prompt somewhere on screen. Our plan is to continue working on the game, adding mechanics, environment decorations, and levels. We hope you continue to enjoy the game as more is added!
