  • For my experience playing this game, I found the art for the characters and the world around them to be done quite well. The music was catchy, though it would be nice to be able to adjust audio settings within the game. As for the implementation of the themes; while I found the description easy to comprehend the alchemy part as transformation and in a sense hidden knowledge (as you have to search for a way to turn everyone into their original forms). With regards to shadow, I still struggled a bit to comprehend how this was incorporated into the story outside of the overall narrative given for the game. If anything, I'd like to see if it is possible to expand more on the shadow aspect of the game, as I'm curious to where this would take the story being told. Lastly, in regards to the playability of the game, while platformers can be a simplistic endeavor for any player, and sometimes even a challenge, I found myself only able to grasp the controls after several trials and errors (may just be a skill issue on my end), but, I was not too keen on the 'shft+space'/'space+shift' specifically when it came to the style of jumps needed to be done in order to progress further; as my brain would confuse the two from time to time. Maybe a double-jump would be more sufficient here (this is just a miniscule gripe on my end, if anything). Overall, this was uniquely done, and I would attempt at this again. Keep up the hard work.
