  • looks like this could be a fun game. the platforming was a little bit too unforgiving.

Tell us about your game!
My game follows a shadow which traverses a world finding potions, which give special movement abilities. While exploring, you find notes that give you information on the history of the world and the story of a mysterious scientist.

(Collecting potions will not only help with platforming, but also with unlocking a new section)

(Some potions are bugged and some effects described in the notes may be missing)

Love your art style for this game. Colour scheme reminds me of Hollow Knight. I really appreciated the checkpoint system, which helped alleviate frustration when failing jumps.

I will say some of the jumps feel a bit too precise for how quick the air strafing is, but that could be considered just part of the challenge.

Very cool submission to the jam, awesome job!
