What a unique concept! Great visuals, sounds are basic but gets the point across. Puzzles can be really easy or pretty tough. Intro was excellent haha. Could use some more background music personally. The theme came across and had plenty of flavor and story elements. Great job!

- 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.

Due to shared array buffer limitations, please do NOT use Firefox to play this game.
Preferably, please use Chrome.

Thank you for playing! I have played this level multiple times and have had people play it and none have yet complained. You're correct the the light does move fast but the level is possible...
- Try anticipating when to jump so that you land at the right time
- Walking back and forth with the light is the trick.
That said, I will run this by more people with extra attention on this level. I would recommend trying to get past it as some mechanics are only unlocked at later levels
