- good take on the theme (although I find it cheesy when people involve the theme in their storytelling ;) let players decide)
- snappy controls
#### Area of improvement
- needs better level design
- difficulty curve between the levels is chaotic
- music should continue playing instead of restarting on each level
- missing SFX (which are more important than music)
#### Conclusion
Has potential, good fit for the theme, needs work.
p. s. I wonder how you finished the spikes level. Can you please show a video?
I believe that the shadow mechanism is the core feature you want to show us.
However, in the last few levels, the part the spike jumping is much more difficult to handle compare to the shadow puzzle, it shift my focus (should also include many others) from the creative puzzling stuff to action jumping part.
I sincerely think this game should deep dive into the shadow mechanism level design instead of spike jumping and this make me feel pity
Good job!
I will post a video later to showup how to pass all levels, thanks for playing!
I only managed to get to level 3, which feels impossible to solve. Atleast i have absolutely no idea how to. The general concept is cool though.
Also i was confused, if i need to jump into the door, as no further hints were given, what exactly to do besides stepping on triggers.
Graphics:
The graphic style is need and clear.
Audio:
The music loop gets kind of annoying fast. It would be nice to have an option to either mute it or change the volume of the music.
The Footsteps do not match the speed of the character, so we get like 1 step every second, while the character makes dozens of steps. playing the sound a little bit more often could help here.
I can imagine that this puzzle game can be really fun to play, as the mechanic is cool, but as i have no idea how to progress i can't really give more of a rating here.
Good challenge level, not too hard but still tough.
One small point of feedback, you should let your music track play consistently instead of stopping and restarting it every level -- if you finish levels quickly the player doesn't get to enjoy the full music you created!
The level that I can control the delay time is too difficult.
Although delay time become 0, the shadow still can't stand on self and run together. It really confused me.
Changing the delay was a little annoying due to how long and how many button presses it took. Holding down the key to change would help.
Graphics are very nice and the audio is well done.
I am so glad to play this game, thank you so much for this experience, and the fact that you did all by yourself it's really amazing!
The sound, art, everything is on point! :D
Oh! And did I mention that I love the character's graphic? :)
