- didn't quite hit both themes I felt like, but I really enjoyed the light/shadow play. I think you should continue to work on this :)

Here we follow the noted alchemist, Phil O'Sopher. He aims to demonstrate that the fifth basic element is, in fact, light. Using his new potions, he can emit and occlude light as to change the world around him. He needs to watch his step, however. For if light is a tangible element, nothing in the shadows can be touched...

Extra Notes
Thank you for taking a look at my game. There are 9 levels and I ask that you complete all of them. Mechanics are unlocked as the player progresses so stopping early will leave significant parts of the game unenjoyed.

Wow! Great intro. Clever mechanics. Also quite hard game but that makes it more fun. And even an outro. Absolutely amazing accomplishment for a game jam.
Thank you for playing :)
As someone who's not good at platformers, this is very difficult. It took me several tries to beat the second level, and I couldn't get the hang of it enough to be able to complete the fourth level.
I don’t know what the judge was thinking when grading this one. Someone put their pants on their head instead of their bottoms.
Beautiful game all around. Really nailed the themes and I thought this one would have been very very high up on the list.
Ignore what the official judge said, this game was awesome.
really love the style!
I just wanted to add here that this game is style incarnate regardless of the score. It’s gorgeous
