I kinda got stuck on level 3 as it seems to require some fast left and right clicking which resulted in me leaving the page. Other than that, I liked the mechanic with the 3 different metal types!

- I found the way you presented everything about your game to be done quite nicely. For starters, the art style and music were done well; catchy music to listen to while taking in the environment. Plus, the animations for the puzzles were very creative. I found the controls a bit tough to grasp at first, but after a bit of trial and error, I was able to get the hang of things. Though I will say, I'm not the best at platformers (let alone them mixed with puzzles, so I've got some work to do getting through these levels). In regards to the themes, I was easily able to pick up on the implementation of both. From my time playing, my interpretation of shadow was 'elemental effects' and for alchemy it was 'transformation'. Both of which tied very nicely back to the way the game needed to be played in order to solve each level/puzzle. This is something I would return to, testing my abilities with what you presented. Overall, a great job done here. Keep up the good work!
- Very unique concept of transmuting metals to utilize different properties. Had a lot of fun playing with magnetism and conductivity. The shadow theme fell a bit flat, but otherwise was enjoyable.

The game is about an alchemist who is infiltrating a facility owned by a shadow government known as "The Projection" who has torn the natural resources from the world for their own economical gain, destroying the world in the process.
You traverse puzzles and platforming challenges with the ability to transmute between gold, iron, and copper, using these forms to interact with magnets, electricity, and other mechanics all in the goal of reaching the Flame of Palingenesis, an artifact that burns things to ashes and rebirths them anew.
Extra Notes
I am not good at making music, please spare me thy wrath in that department
