Sure, the graphics are simple, but the gameplay is really solid. I had fun and felt really invested. The warping mechanic sounded confusing, but when I used it the first time I instantly knew what was going on. The little tutorial pop-ups were a great addition. The movement was a tad bit floaty, but it felt right to me. The shadow makes it even a bit too easy to get through. I would suggest that your shadow doesn't block the enemy shots. Like that you can't just place the shadow in a room and kill everything instantly, but have to watch how the shots are ligned up. Nice music too, but not fitting for a stealth game."},{"author_name":"Mieeh","author_uid":"49612","time":"Apr 21, 2016 @ 11:51am","epoch":1461239160,"text":"Fun game.

We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.\rCan you add your game on indiexpo.net ?

The whole game was easy to pick up and using our shadow as decoy to then kill the turrets from behind was pretty satisfying.\r\rOn the down side I found the level design didn't to the gameplay justice, as some "warping zones" and checkpoints were placed in or close to plain sight of the turrets, making everything unnecessarily hard. Having to collect daggers was a cool idea, especially letting the shadow version collect them.\r\rThe graphics were good enough to make things fun, as everything was clear and intuitive.\r\rHonestly, all this game really needs is some level design love.\r\r(PS. I have a feeling the music wasn't made during the jam, maybe you should opt-out of Audio?)"},{"author_name":"Pickens Inc.","author_uid":"25346","time":"Apr 22, 2016 @ 9:18am","epoch":1461316380,"text":"A little clunky, and I was quite confused at first as to what was going on, but I really like the concept. Distracting enemies with my own shadow and pulling off little moves that would syngergise my shadow and normal form's movement felt badass, haha. I like it, though sometimes your cover was a bit harsh, so you ended up dying to a previous enemy while waiting for you shadow to move out the way."},{"author_name":"kik0729","author_uid":"30623","time":"Apr 22, 2016 @ 10:02am","epoch":1461319020,"text":"It's a great concept\rYou can easily scale this to a full game! \rIt's awesome :D"},{"author_name":"ragnta","author_uid":"64481","time":"Apr 22, 2016 @ 10:14am","epoch":1461319740,"text":"It's awesome, but a little bit fast for me :)"},{"author_name":"PeachTreeOath","author_uid":"63987","time":"Apr 25, 2016 @ 7:19am","epoch":1461568440,"text":"Liked the concept, though kinda a liberal interpretation of the theme =)"},{"author_name":"NuberuGames","author_uid":"92922","time":"Apr 26, 2016 @ 2:16pm","epoch":1461679860,"text":"Fun game, with this mechanic you can make really cool puzzles.\rGreat job!"},{"author_name":"WatashiWaNekoDesu","author_uid":"90478","time":"Apr 26, 2016 @ 2:20pm","epoch":1461680100,"text":"Good and fun game !\rGo vote mine ! :)\rhttp:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-35\/?action=preview&uid=90478"},{"author_name":"Gord10","author_uid":"28449","time":"Apr 26, 2016 @ 4:46pm","epoch":1461688860,"text":"Ahah, I loved its idea!
