I liked how you could play both sides, and the base concept is pretty decent. I think however that the gameplay was too simple to remain interesting over the whole night. As the boy, I would just move the flashlight up and down as fast as I could since there wasn't really much else I could do.

I liked this. I think it could be refined. It reminded me of boogeyman or frosty nights. However e controls were really slow for the child but fast for shadow. Some of the shadows were not affected by the light and some seemed to be affected when the light was pointing in the wrong direction.
But the art was amazing, I enjoyed playing it. The music was decent and atmospheric.
Good work.
Very interesting arcade-like experience and straightforward use of the theme, I love its simplicity and art style.
This game was very simple in its execution; I found the Boy gameplay too easy though; Simply going from left to right in a fast pace was all that was needed to win the game, and so got boring very fast.
The shadow gameplay was slightly more challenging, but with some pattern control; the rest would fall into the place.
I enjoyed the concept of the story very much however! Well done on making this game in just 1 week !
