Shadow Morph by DavidErosa
*** You CAN play without a VR HMD ***
This is my 13th LD in a row and my 4th LD anniversary and I've been really close of not taking part of it!
Anyway, here's a little game I did both for LD and the VRJam: A game where you have to guess a geometric figure just with its shadow.
*** HOW TO PLAY ***
Choose the correct object by watching the shadows on the wall and ceiling.
*** CONTROLS ***
-= COMMON =-
ESC to go back or exit the game.
-= Desktop Mode (No HMD) =-
Look around: Mouse
Select: Mouse click / space bar
-= VR HDM =-
Look around : just... look around :)
Select: Gamepad button A / mouse click / space bar
*** Tested HMD ***
Tested with a DK2 and Oculus Runtime 1.3. Should work with Oculus Rift and maybe HTC Vive too? (leave me a comment if it works!)
** NOTE **
The embedded version may misbehave with the mouse cursor. My testing shows that Firefox behaves better than chrome. Anyway the "standalone" WebGL version should work correctly.

Also, the sad-trombone was simply amazing. :)
I was completely winning and then identical shadows started to appear.
Not fair!
Then, toying around I realized sometimes I could see a second shadow in the ceiling, coming from the same light source and giving away completely the shape of the object.
The concept was neat, It took a while to figure out exactly how it all worked though. Top and side shadows being from the same object, and the fact that the object was moving differently from how it did on the pedestal threw me at first.
Good work on this! I liked the feedback on your answer: particles, sound effects, and light colors made it pretty clear if you got the answer right or wrong.
Overall, solid entry, fun to play around for a bit. Gotta add the point to audio for the losing sound effect.
