  • The game doesnt look correct on PC version. It is possible because of how itch io handles sizes?

Tell us about your game!
The game takes place in the shadow realm. You have been mysteriously taken there by unknown means. There you meet your shadow and you partner up to get you home safe. But not everyone there is your friend.

Keep climbing to escape this dreamscape and do whatever in your power to get rid of anyone in your path.

Use WASD or Arrowkeys to move around and space to jump.
Your shadow will move opposite to your movements. So while you try to avoid the projectiles flying on the screen from the monsters you can use your shadow to absorb them. That way you can restore som health as well as build up your power. Once your power is at 100% you can fire a magic missile back at the monsters. Beware of the boss ;)

Extra Notes
While this has been a learning process, I wasn't able to implement everything I wanted. The one thing that I would've wanted the most was a more complex combination system for your power. The intention was for the player to gather up to three different power-ups which would then combine into different attack powers.

Nevertheless, I hope you can imagine the possibilities of the game just like I did, and then join me in hoping I can finish that dream some day! :)

Thank you for playing.
