- I found the the game ran smoothly, and very fun to play. The art style was good, the charterer is specifically very well done. The background music fit the game very much. I did not see the alchemy theme during my gameplay. Awesome job on the game! I look forward to seeing what you create for the next Jam!

Felt great to play. Could definitely see a full game with these mechanics.
Lovely little slasher; the movement was a tad clunky at times, but overall pretty slick! I enjoyed the high degree of polish (for a jam game), all the systems were in place and the gameplay was pretty tight. There's definitely space to expand on the moveset and level design, and backpedaling enemies are annoying as well, but overall - a very well-rounded entry!
Congrats :)
Very nice! I love how mobile you get when youre hot, the long dash is extra nice. I like how you then you have to keep in mind to touch a shadow briefly now and then and it becomes a fun micromanaging minigame while slashing enemies.
A fun play on the shadow theme! Managing your positioning while fighting and dodging is a very interesting and fun mechanic. I wish I didn't have to look at the bottom left of the screen to know my temperature status though, some kind of hud near the player could have been nice, so I don't have to take my eyes off the combat.
The visuals are nice, and combat felt decent. I do wish there was a bit of visual feedback on hit, rather than just sound. Overall fun to play!
Great submission, very clever application of the theme of the jam!
