Nice mechansim
I really liked the idea of the game, extremely creative and fun to play, I got stuck at one point when we were both shadow people and I couldn't figure out how to progress, but I'm sure if I got farther it would have been extremely enjoyable to play!
One of the most original ideas I ve seen so far. The puzzles are well thought and it is cool to deal with making them with both yourself and your shadow (even joining it at some points).
Good job!
Cool idea, but I was also stuck on the second level unfortunately
Nice Game! I couldn't get passed the second level though...
Thanks for your feedback ^^. We think it is a Problem with the wegbl build. You should be able to move the shadow box onto the „shadow-button“. And its strangly only working on around 50% of all devices.
If you want to try again, you could jump on the edge of the shadow box and moving forward whilst standing on it. It will move a little bit.
Next time we are going to upload the standard builds too, because they are working perfectly fine.
Whatsoever thank you for playing the game. :D
Thank you ^^
I love the idea here, to not just move a shadow but also join them. Also couldn't move that box in the second level. Great idea that I could see becoming a full game with some additional mechanics.
Thanks for the feedback.
I couldn't make it past the second level🤦♂️, but nevertheless, I loved the concept!
Were you able to push the box in the shadow plane? There seems to be a very weird bug for some devices (I would honestly attribute it to the build...) where the cube cannot be pushed by the player. If you can push it however place it on the button on the ground. You should be able to guess what to do from there :P
Ahhh, yeah I totally couldn't push the box for some reason. I suspected the box might need to go on the button platform, but alas my character couldn't move it.
Great mechanics and idea. Good job!
Thank you very much ^^
the game is fun, I really like that we play as the shadow and it's really intuitive.
Thank you :D
Very interesting idea of the game. Nice graphics.

Game Concept is Nice Good Job 9/10
Also check mine too
sure thing
I liked the game of yours verry much
I thought this was going to be a bad one when I first saw it, but it turned out amazing! Good job!
Thank you!
I like the game idea very much. I didn't read the description (or title) properly and so I died early. But even without having read it I directly got: the shadow is important. So the game is really intuitive in that regards.
Unfortunately I don't get how to solve the second level. I only can switch over to become another shadow but don't know how to get back. And when you stick your two shadows together they also somehow become immortal ^^. So I had to reload the page in order to restart.
So one thing you could add would be a restart button - or at least having a shortcut for it (like [R] restarts the level).
Overall pretty good idea and I like how you used the theme. I spend a lot of time thinking about how to use it. But that isn't even close to any entry of my list ^^.
Hey there, thank you for the review! The invincibility bug is a weird one, we sadly didn't notice it during development. As for the second level:
You need to first use your shadow to push the box on the button to transfer it to the "reality" plane. Then use the lever to transfer the character on the reality plane to the shadow plane. Use the walls to align them so they can both reach the goal.
Thanks for the great feedback.
