Interesting gameplay mechanic! it was pretty tricky in the last level to not fall. But you can get stuck on walls (dont know if intended). Otherwise great concept!

Really cool mechanics! Last level took quite some time for me. What tools did you use?

How do you turn on the Light (as in the picture ?)

We used the phaser engine (http://phaser.io/). Basically the trick with shifting between the two worlds is that there are two games running that are overlayed, one for the light and one for the shadow world.

The 'phase' mechanics was definitely very cool! As a few others said though, the last level was pretty difficult, it would have been good to have it split in to two to show off the mechanics a bit more :)

Not bad! I'll admit that I was pretty terrible at it. But, nonetheless, it was a great load of fun! I sincerely hope you win.

Loved the light mechanics, but I was terrible at adapting to them. :( Great job! :)

Man, this really challenges my spatial sense. Very engaging and well executed. Definitely in the top 5 LD games I've played.

Interesting idea, only it's too short. It has nice potential. Well done.

Curious!
Would've loved some more exploration of this platformer mechanic, I think it holds great potential!

Wow, nice, thought about sth like that too but couldn't make it work in my head, but this is very well done, thumbs up! :)

Excellent game. I was immediately impressed with the simple mechanic that expanded in interesting ways. I think you're onto something here, and with more levels and more manageable difficulty climb, have something to market.

Nice idea (would have been most well-suited for LD30!). That last level was actually quite tricky.

Really short, but the level with the moving lights was actually fun and challenging!

I like the level changing based on the lights. It was really tricky for me on the last level. Hope you keep doing more Ludum dares :) p.s. my first one too

Short amount of levels, but a great concept. In most games like this the hidden walls would still be there (just you can't see them), which is why this game was a lot harder. I didn't expect it to be so literal.

This was a really neat little game.

The light shifting mechanic was nice and level four really showed off it's interesting possibilities.

That was awesome! Great job! Really fun and challenging puzzles, especially the last one. The controls felt fantastic too.

My favorite detail is how the monster shifts between sprites as the light passes over it. I have no idea how you implemented that in Phaser, but NICE job!

That was a very interesting idea, having the actual level change in ways that the player can't perceive. It does leave a lot of guessing to the player though.

Good audio. :D I Nice mechanic, the last level took some time for me to pass... Do more levels! o/

Short but very nice game. Great idea to implement the theme. Last level was challenging and fun. Great job!

For people asking about the lights, the lights were always out for me on Chrome for some reason, had to change browser.

A plateform puzzle with a very innovative mechanic, that's the kind of game I like ! With a little polish and a bunch of more levels, you could sell it ! ;)
