The first time I play a puzzle platformer upside down :D\r<br\/>One thing that put me off towards the end was the control though. I can't press the jump and move at the same time which makes me died a lot of times and it became a bit frustrating. 10\/10 will come back and play it if the control gets better :) Graphics and music is nice btw."},{"author_name":"orukinawa","author_uid":"34628","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 5:37am","epoch":1409031120,"text":"I love the concept.

I love the game mechanic, but it needs a bit more tutorial levels for the beginning. In particular jumping in shadow world\/switching while standing on tall static shadows. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>If you end up inside a shadow getting pushed out feels buggy although I can't think of a better way right now.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The static shadows feel strange since you can control the rest of the shadows.
