Very good idea and concept!!
but level design need more test play. But this is 48h game jam.
I love this game and its potential. Well done!

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!

This 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.

I really enjoyed the shadow jumping, killer game!
