How does your game fit the theme?
The wizard is joined together with his shadow. When they are together, it is easier to see ahead. As they move apart, the game gets darker until they get lost in the dark.

Fantastic idea and execution of the theme, also love how you were able to use simple assets to make the game look this good. My biggest issue is that the gameplay and deaths are kinda unintuitive and unforgiving making it really hard to play but the core mechanics are great.

SoulBinderFun idea for sure, though it couldn't hurt for the implementation to be a bit more forgiving. I think this definitely has potential to be a full game with a little work!

A Perilous UnionQuite fun. Very beautiful.
I like the concept of your shadow being a 2nd character. This was quite fun to play.
Difficult game, steep learning curve though. If you make a post jam version (which i think you should, this has a potential to be a full length game) should make the learning curve less steep and gradually introduce harder levels.
Nice though :D I had fun

The SplitterVery nice and tricky to handle game, I love the art and the atmosphere, nice one!

Defying InstinctsDang nice game. That last level was hard! But that was a lot of fun to finish! Really nice graphics and sound. I'd recommend adding a little bit of coyote time as I felt like I kept getting screwed by one of my guys jumping and the other one just falling off the ledge he was standing on. But overall super solid, and I love the way the concept, jam theme, and artwork fit together.

Symbiotic ManagerNice work on this! The idea is a neat take on the "control two characters at once" pattern, the only thing I'd wish for would be a bit tighter platforming controls (the wizard took a bit long to accelerate to full speed). Well done! :D

Uchi no KiGame looks really cute. Clever use of different platforms to make shadows. Very easy to die, and the movement felt a bit clunky and a little too precise.

Opposite AttractionThe presentation and concept are great! and it plays pretty solid too, I like the level design though I did find it a bit too easy to drift apart from your shadow. Overall a solid entry!

Your Strength Is Mine - GMTKJam 2021The concept of the game is actually so amazing (splitting your shadows and let it jump on shadows of various obstacles is just plain amazing!) I recommend a bit clearer guidance at the start, by introducing small, compact levels, and start from there. The level design was amazing tho!

Double Dealing IllusionistsI love the art for this, very cute and well-executed! Great job creating that art within the time of the jam. I think this concept is very original!
