The game is based off of shadows, which to some people can find it as real objects but in reality, they aren't.

Yes, all the sprites, music, and code are made by me and are made from scratch.

Fun platformer. I don't like the cooldown on the wall jump.

Awesome Game! The simplistic graphics really work here I feel! The only suggestion I would have would be to implement the wall climbing in some other way. It took me a few seconds to really get how it worked and be able to consistently do it. Otherwise Awesome!

I like it! Try to fix movement a little

I love how you can control the shadows to decipher what is real and what is not.

Cool game, interesting mechanic with the making it so you can go through walls

Interesting idea with this changing perspective. Some levels are quite challenging. Good job!

Wow, i think that's the first game that i played more than 10 minutes. I really love the mechanics and how you introduce them. However i was always getting stuck in edges when walljumping , that was very annoying . I also think there should be some SFX not only a background music.  And i don't really see how the game fits the theme.

Over all i really enjoyed it , good job !

So i went with a sort of abstract approach to the theme and going around “shadows” which people like kids can find as a real person, but in reality they’re “not real” and some of the walls/ground are not real in the game as well
