A lot of work has been clearly put in this game. Good job!
Pros:
Loved the visuals.
Interesting theme appropriation
Cons:
The music bothered me in the long run.
I had one issue (getting stuck in a wall) when switching quickly between realms.

- Your strength here is the art and story, cute and functional, the weakness is the controls mentioned by previous comments, x to swap to shadow realm didnt work for me, and trying to move jump and world swap with 1 hand is hard so unexpected skill issue, but great entry!

In Shadow Atelier, the player controls a wizard who has the ability to shift between the light and dark world. The light world is fairly normal, so to speak. The player can run and jump around the environment and do basic platformer maneuvers. The dark world is a little more sinister; platform layouts may be different, objects behave in different ways, and harmless creatures will have a twisted, aggressive form. At times, the shadow world may “bleed” into the light world, giving the player clues on how they might proceed through each puzzle.
