Get Home by hammerfrenzy

[raw]
made by hammerfrenzy for LD33 (JAM)
You're a monster on the way home from work. You use your shadow to get around, but your flashlight battery isn't at full power!
You'll need to find another in order to make your way back home.

All of the art and sound is original, except the forest background.

NOTE: The terrain shows up as a black blob on Macs, will try to have a fix later.

This made laugh, I loved the sound effects. Nice Banjo-Kazooie reference too.

It was pretty fun except the shadow mechanic seemed to bug out quite frequently. There was one pit in particular where I got stuck for a long time because the floor kept disappearing. I got to the end though, and it put me in a good mood, I liked the ideas.

Very cute game. I enjoyed it a lot, despite the all-around buggy feel of it. Sinking through the ground, for example :P

Mabye I should have done a better job documenting it, but when the Lamps turn on their light will dispel your shadow platforms!

I love the original mechanic. It'd be interesting to see this expanded into larger game with more (perhaps collectible) shadow powers.

Wow. I did not expect this neatness. But this is probably one of the coolest plat-former mechanics I've seen in the jam. Great work!!

- Awesome sound effects, I spammed the "Spooky Shadow" button at all times because the sounds were so good :D.
- Lovely graphics
- I loved that the game had "checkpoints" so that you didn't have to start all over again when you died
- The puzzles were a bit tricky at times but rewarding once you figured them out

Very well done!
