Clever idea! Super fun puzzles, very chill music, cute art! Even though I haven't played it in some 20 years, it reminded me of The Lost Vikings. I loved that game. I especially loved what happened when I instinctively tried to jump hahah! 🌞

- got a very interesting game in the making here. I love how you played with the shadows and light. I just wish you leaned into the other theme more since you where supposed to use both, but I still hope you continue to develop this concept further.

Tell us about your game!
Overshadowed is a puzzle platformer where you work through a changing landscape of platforms, lights and shadows, detaching your own shadow from yourself with your magic flashlight, to reach the end of each level. Use your shadow to cross shadow bridges and manipulate platforms to get safely to the exit.
This version of the game is basically a concept demo and includes 6 levels of increasing difficulty. The levels can be collectively completed within a couple minutes if you know the solutions, but hopefully they will provide at least a bit of challenge to new players.

Extra Notes
I just started learning game development a couple months ago (partly thanks to Thor's Make Video Games video) after literal decades of wishing I could make games, and this jam has given me the motivation I needed to complete an original project. Thank you!
