How does your game fit the theme?
The player character and her shadow are joined to each other, each interacting differently with the environment and affecting each other through both logical and spooky means.
Did your team create the vast majority of the art during the 48 hours?
Yes
We created the vast majority of the art during the game jam
Did your team create the vast majority of the music during the 48 hours?
No
We used pre-existing audio

Really neat idea where the shadow affects the actual player. Love the art.
My only critique is that jump isn’t the Space bar. It was really weird trying to jump and attack using only the mouse. Can’t wait to see what you make next!

AMB1 and D3X-TRThis is a very cool gameplay idea and I would love to play a full game based on it, but for the love of God, please add some checkpoints to your levels if you insist on having insta-death spikes in them. After 20 attempts at clearing level 2, I gave up because running up to the moving lamp (where I always messed up and died) was just too boring to continue.
Cool idea, took me a moment to realise my shadow could stand on shadow platforms.

Cast AdriftVery pretty, cool mechanic, would love to see it explored a little more indepth

You Are g00pI really loved the art and idea for this game. I think it would have elevated it by alot if music had existed. I think the game was too spacious and not enough enemies. But overall i think it was sick asf xox

WHEN THE DEVIL JOINED MELove the clever use of the shadow! The clean art and animation really enhance the gameplay.

Flo - The puzzleReally unique and creative implementation of the theme! The part where you have to use the shadow behind you to jump on the platform solidified this as one of my favorite games in this jam! Animations are also stunning, my one critique is that I wish the shadow didn't sink through the shadow floor, doesn't feel like it adds anything interesting to the gameplay.

THESE ROBOTS HATE EACH OTHERThe animation and lighting is so clean! The enemies are kind of sparse tho.

Heart BoundGreat submission and very fitting to the theme - I love the animations, the hits and the implementation of the theme in your game. Really good job!

Defying InstinctsWow, this is really clever and well designed, the interaction with lighting, enemy shadows, etc... really fantastic work!

Your Strength Is Mine - GMTKJam 2021I like it ^^ Interesting to fight/platform with both the player and the shadows. Nice job on the jam!

Chick ListVery interesting idea! There is a lot of room here for future potential with this design. There is a lot of blank spaces of just walked which could be cut down, as well as a few checkpoints would also help. Overall great idea with some pretty cool levels!

Chain FuryThis is really cool. Gorgeous, and really impressive work with the lighting, even before the central mechanic (which is rad) comes into play.
