I like the core game mechanic but it does need a lot of fleshing out especially with dragging the objects and getting it right.

- Really like that I'm able to move the object to create the shadows in order to get to the objective.

- It took a bit to understand what I was trying to do since you would fail so fast at the start.

- The objects would be wonky in controlling where to place it in the level.

- A good way to try and fix these issues is to have a speed button (1X, 2X, 4X, etc) so the player can choose how fast they move through the level and properly set things up before moving out of the shadows.

Great game mechanic. The levels were designed very well.

The interactive objects could be a bit more obvious by giving it a shader treatment. The placement of the objects could benefit from a stencil of the object shape rather than a green circle. The green markers could also be updated to better visual cues. The game can definitely be flushed out more and be made into a full feature game.
