  • I like the idea of this game! It has a great foundation. Its a very cool interpretation of the theme and is well executed for the time frame! I didnt face the wheel of death! Very good GDD Constructive criticism: Add a tutorial for how to play the game with prompts in game Add more interactions with the other things in game

In a strange turn of events, an alchemist had accidentally performed an experiment that somehow separated their shadow from themselves. Now disconnected, the two must find a way to recombine into one entity through alchemy.

Extra Notes
This is my first time uploading to Itch.io, and there appears to be an issue when loading the game where it loads, but it gets stuck on a spinning wheel animation and won't do anything beyond that. Troubleshooted the issue for about 2 hours and the only solution I've found so far is to wait or to re-download a different version of Godot though Git-Hub and fix the issue directly in the editor. Didn't have time for that if I wanted to submit and waiting hasn't done anything so far. If there is some way to fix this problem I'd love to hear about it. I think it has something to do with HTML5 but I'm unsure.

If the game does load, then have fun. Thanks for your time.

Very fun game, while I might not be the best at puzzles I was able to figure out what was needed of me and complete levels!
I enjoy the  ability to control to characters, it kinda reminded me of the flash game "fire boy and water girl" but with a bit more depth.

Very well made game sorry to hear you were having trouble with getting it to browser, HTML5 can be a pain but atleast it works!


Cheers, hope to see you next Game Jam.
