Phenomenal tech! Amazing idea! What an amazing achievement. The shadow platforming awesomeness is so dynamic, it makes you “feel smart” when you solve a puzzle. The music is great, the text intros really help, and the silky smooth 60fps perfection of this amazing adventure is so impressive. Amazing work!!!

Very clever idea with the shadows! The game has it’s spooky mood thanks to those shadows, spiders and the music. I was dying to see some kind of a map of those dungeons, to see how big and dark they are ;) The only thing I would change was quickly disappearing dialogs - maybe they could disappear after a mouse click? And just letting you know that the performance in Firefox was much worse than in Chrome. Awesome game with a consistent atmosphere.

Beautiful idea. I’m not 100% sure seeing the numbers helps?

Very unique puzzle-platformer - I really enjoyed the primary movement mechanic with the shadows as ramps, thought it could use a little polishing, especially during scenarios where the player is inside of a shadow. I found myself in a few situations where getting “popped” out of a shadow sent me into a hazard of some kind. On that note, the sound mixing could be improved a little bit - the noise made during a “game over” was quite loud compared to the rest of the sounds of the game.

The Web Monetization bonus is nice - not too game-breaking (which is good in my opinion), but a great “nice-to-have”.
