  • I think could have been spiced up a little with maybe some attack skills, and a little bit more target seeking from the enemies. not just back and forth patroling

Tell us about your game!
Story: Alchemist with shadow powers trying to get a philosophers' stone.

Mechanics: Walk faster in shadows and the ability to teleport small distances when standing in shadows, but you can't teleport through walls. You can Pet The Dog. Keys unlock next room.
Controls: W A S D for movement. SPACE teleports you (if you can teleport to the location hovered by your mouse). E is interact (crucial for petting the dog (and getting the philosophers' stone)).

Extra Notes
Thanks for the motivation! All of us had a good time and this was our first time trying to do something like this, looking forward to the next one!

I like the movement in the shadows! There's a lot you could do with it. It would be nice if things you could interact with stood out a bit. Good job :)

A feature we plan to add going forward, just didn't have time is the ability to remap keybinds, do you think that would fix this issue?

That would be perfect
