Brilliant implementation of the shadow part of the theme! Easy, intuitive controls and smooth gameplay. Unfortunately there isn't much in the way of alchemy, and I'm not entirely sure I understand how your game includes it in your GDD. Again, really clever use of shadows, and using your own shadow too is a really neat mechanic! Art style is a little simplistic, which I think could wither be dealt by decreasing the map size, thereby increasing the resolution and detail of the textures, or but adding more things, like props and scenery, into the level.

Tell us about your game!
Don't touch the pavement is a puzzle game where you've forgotten your shoes on the way to work. Instead of giving up and letting your feet cook medium rare on the searing pavement, you've brought your hand Sun Manipulator. By changing the position of the sun, you are able to transform shadows into safe paths across the scorching pavement.
