The level design is really good and the game is overall polished. However, once I turned the place upside down, I entered area 4 and got stuck down in the "bottom" of the area down the narrow pit at the "bottom". Is there a way to reset because I was just stuck there.

The game is also really tough. It was satisfying to get through but many jumps were very tight and there was a lot of trying to land on narrow platforms.

Regardless, overall a good game.

Amazing level design, I liked that the game is open world and that you tease with areas that I can't complete without a certain ability.  I would have liked some music though.

I liked the controls. Very tight and responsive. The shadow effect on the titles were cool, too.
Good job! :)

Nice game! I enjoyed the metroidvania aspects and revising areas with new powers. The controls feel really nice, but the platforming can get very difficult as many of the platforms are extremely small. I'd make some of the sections a little less punishing for missing a jump.

Interesting take on the theme! I really like the light metroidvania elements and the shadow effect gives the game a cool vibe. The level design can feel a bit confusing at times though, I would suggest maybe changing up the colour or background of each area to make them easier to differentiate and remember.
