What a great concept! A puzzle with shadows and physics, I really had fun playing it! One of the best games i've played here so far, amazing submission!

unique concept that I think could go really far! I liked the mind bending aspect of trying to control both of them sort of in reverse. on the last level, i couldn't quite figure out how to use the central sliding red-within-blue, and ended up just being able to get them to circle around the stationary block which probably wasn't the correct route. presentation was simple and effective, and led player by design which is always nice

I agree with @aniretti ! This instantly reminded me of fireboy and watergirl. You really have to use your brainpower to control both characters at the same time and this makes for an awesome gameplay mechanic! Great work.
