  • This is a 10/10 game for me. The mushrooms and flowers and things helping you know where you've been as well as looking pretty in a dungeon world was an amazing touch. The sound design was fun, funny, and somehow creepy? The game interpretation of the shadow theme was excellent! The world was really well crafted. I wanted to play more, GG! Definitely keep working on this game, I'd love to see it somewhere for purchase. GG!

Nice submission, the soundeffects are great, and i really love the art. Sometimes the mirrors don't pick up the light which i send them, and it's a bit hard to know where to go next. But in general a really cool game, I also love the timer because I think this game could have some leaderboard with the times on it. But where is the alchemy and music?
