Design Statement
The first notes of the jam's theme gave me a mysterious sense of adventure, bringing images of light and shadows to mind. That became the starting point for this game: a cozy little action-adventure where light and shadow are at the heart of the gameplay.

Unique gameplay! The moving sun was nice

Cool idea! The game felt a little hectic for me . . . I often found myself wishing the game was a little slower overall and that there was more of a margin of error . . . but I stuck around through some tough levels so I definitely had fun!

Great Idea but the only thing I would say is that light people make it way too hard (for me at least) Still great game :)
