How does you game fit the theme?
The shadow can't be killed so it's not real

I wrote the code and draw the art by myself, but the music and sound effects is from itch and unity asset store

Loved the art, the sfx and the very cool shadow mechanic. You have some great puzzle design in some of the levels, but the difficulty curve is all over the place. Some of the last levels where extremely easy and some of the levels in the middle were extremely hard.

Also, as a little constructive criticism, the vent does not tell the player it is the goal, it just blends in with the environment. Normally it is a bad idea to use the same color as the walls or the floor for the end goal. Also, the way the enemies kill the player fells kinda unfair, they just teleport to you, it was maybe done for balancing or difficulty purposes, but maybe next time try to look for a way to justify it so that it does not feel like the enemies are just cheating to get to you. Other than that, is a solid short but cute and very well design puzzle game. Well done <3

Great art, fun game, cool puzzles, only thing is that it's very short. But damn this project has a lot of potential, you rock! I'd appreciate if you tried my game out as well when you can :)

Very cool game which unfortunately i am too dumb to play. Got stuck on the 4th level, but really enjoyed it.

Your game deserves some more reviews. When the only disappointment is that there was not anymore levels, then that's a good sign :)

Would you mind checking out my game? 

Developer

Great use of the shadow mechanic, i felt there was a decent amount of variety in the puzzles and I definitely had to try a few of them a couple of times.

Developer

Thank you! :D

Really excellent game!  Fun and creative puzzle concept and very on-theme.  There's a lot you could do with this idea if you decide to pursue it further.  I found the first level to be the hardest of all of them, not because the puzzle was the hardest to solve using the mechanic, but because it was difficult to figure out the mechanic.  You might like that added dimension of difficulty -- and it does feel rewarding if you get the handle on how it works -- but some might be frustrated and want a bit more description of how it works. Great job!

Developer

Thank you so much :D . I didn't have that much time left to add more explanation about the mechanic, but I'm glad that a lot of people could pass the first level by only knowing how to move and summon the shadow

I thoroughly enjoyed this game! the concept was really good and fit the theme nicely and you had a nice diverse level of difficulty/progression throughout your game. My only criticism is the lack of having volume control settings. Overall, this was well built!

Developer

Thank you so much!

Really good concept and execution as people have said it's a bit difficult at first but with a little polish it could be a great game

Developer

Thank you!

Loved this game, brutally hard and in my opinion a little hard to start (I'm kinda stupid :/) but really fun once I got the hang of it.

Developer

You're not stupid :D I just don't have much time to put a tutorial sorry about that!
