Loved the art. May i ask what resolution you worked with?

Developer(+1)

Heyy, thanks. The game's resolution was 1080 p. We did try to force the game to always play at 1080 p but I guess that causeed the menu artwork and pause screen artworks to not be placed properly in some of the screens. If you're asking about the pixel art res, I kept the characters att 64x64, and so were most of the other assets. THe tile sets were 16x16. Some other assests were 32x32

Very nice concept and pixel art!!! The tutorial text made it seem overcomplicated but the game flows naturally. Maybe having the same key to call and send the shadow would've been more comfortable.

other than that rly good game

I loved the art, 'twas beautiful but the gameplay felt a bit lacking, i enjoyed the simple puzzles and the ability to have a smoke break lol.

Developer
