- This game has a really cool shadow mechanic and implementation of that part of the theme! However, I think that your interpretation of alchemy is too vague. Nevertheless, I really like this game! I hope you continue to work on it and add levels, I genuinely enjoyed playing it.
- Really good use of shadow and implementing it within the mechanics of the game. It made for a unique experience. Would have liked to see more alchemy related mechanics. The puzzles were interesting and I would love to see this game expanded and see what else you can do with it. Good job!

Can't wait to play the extended version with even more unique levels. I liked the mechanics of controlling shadows, which can lead to some interesting puzzles. Great Job!!!
Thanks for playing!
Really cool mechanic ! It opens up plenty of possibility for different kinds of puzzles. Sad that you ran out of time though. Were you planning to use the double shadows in the empty room ? It would've been killer if you had the time for it.
Yep, if I had more time I wanted to do things with double shadows and moving shadow. Alas, time marches forward.
Thanks for playing!
Really interesting mechanic, I found the puzzles challenging and I like the way you've incorporated the shadow theming.
Very creative! Every puzzle upped the think-outside-the-box level required. I was disappointed it ended so early!
Not clear how the alchemy theme ties in, but the shadows are very creative. Good work!
Yeah, the alchemy didn't come through as well as I was hoping. The thought was moving lights change your shadow, but the big alchemy component was a feature that got cut for time.
Thanks for playing!
I love that you control two player entities, its very clever!
Thanks for playing!
Overall a cool idea, it's interesting using the changing shape of the shadow.
Unfortunately though I got to this room and didn't see where to go, then the game crashed.
Oops, sorry about the crash!
You can't see where to go because that's as far as the game goes. I didn't have time for any more levels, so I just put an empty room.
Thanks for playing!
