Really cute and lovely platformer ! Liked the little bit of humor too. The sprites and sounds also fit each other. One thing that I would've liked is for there to be more puzzly levels like the final one, maybe even harder. Overall, awesome game !

- The controls and playability were easy to follow. I found the story to be a bit funny (the "oh you mean water?" part got a small laugh from me). I also enjoyed the incorporation of shadow with the way the light sources were used and put together. Very nicely done being able to show and hide light behind walls to procure shadows as a result. Though, the most that could be said about alchemy, based on my interpretation, comes from the story and completion of tasks where the player attempts to 'transform' back into a human; it was executed well in my opinion. Overall, while I found your artistic endeavors to be constructed nicely throughout my play time, I found the music to be what stood out for me. Not only is it catchy, but I continued listening to it as I typed up this review. All the same, keep up the good work!
