It looks cool, but unfortunately the page isn't loading for me.

Wow, really nice use of dynamic shadows !
I would love to have a key to have a speed boost to have maximum flow sensations :)
+4

Game loaded but the play button did not respond to clicks

This game is awesome but the only problem is the laggy movement

lms 2014-04-28 15:05

If there is a problem with the build of the web (not start or low FPS) download the standalone version

Could not get to work in webplayer, no clicks detected.

Wow, really stunning visuals. And really finished music too - assuming you've made that during the 48 hours too. The shadows became a bit unpredictable later in the game so I got a bit frustrated and gave up.

uploaded to another hosting and added version
with simplified graphics

I had to play on the low quality one for web player
Anyway, very nice use of the light and the mood
The use of the shadow is great
I liked it :)

Nice ! Beautiful and nice songs. A lot of innovation in your game !

Great rounded shadows! Best distance:132. Music was nice.

Really liked the concept and you did a great job with the execution.

Wow it looks like it took some serious programming to generate the world. I like the graphics and the music adds tremendously to the mood. I'd like to see some variety as we progress through the game. Oddly enough I got to a score of 111 which is the same as your screenshot :P

WOW. Absolutely fantastic. Enjoyed every second of it.

Nice game! Great lighting effects, which not just make the game looks great, but also makes the gameplay much more fun and challenging!

kirbikaka 2014-04-30 03:05

Wow! This game just looks amazing :D!
It does a little difficult figuring out the shadows, and you don't have much vision, but that's part of the beauty I suppose! The gameplay is fun, but this game really shines in its aesthetics and mood :]!

Unfortunately it was too laggy for me to really play

Where is the source code? Please respect the rules.

Great idea!!!

konrad-zegis 2014-05-04 09:52

The mood. Sound and graphics. Great! (:

mattrified 2014-05-04 17:08

Best was 33. Very interesting patterns. Nice job.

snoother 2014-05-04 17:20

Concept is wonderful, with an enjoyably drab element of surrealism. And the music enhances this with a kind of sad majesty. Gameplay-wise, the controls are a bit stiff, but the core mechanic works really well. Congrats, this deserves to place well.

miwuc 2014-05-04 17:46

Awesome mood, the shadows really feel alive, well done.

Spotline 2014-05-04 17:46

Wow ! This is very cool and disturbing. I tried it in normal and low quality and it seems the illusion works a lot better in normal mode. Anyway congratulations on making a very interesting gameplay from a very simple mechanic.

pjchardt 2014-05-04 17:49

Very cool mood and visuals. Nice game. As others have said please respect the rules and provide source code, you can always enter the jam if you don't want to provide source.

robodylan 2014-05-04 17:49

Very neat navigation mechanics, I think it's the same thing I decided to use in my game. Raytracing? . Anyways overall A good game. Would be good on mobile.

mondi 2014-05-04 17:58

Very nice game! =) I think you need some sort of score board! With a data base! for everyone knows who take the longest way!

ccglp 2014-05-04 17:58

Game is very original, and the art is pretty cool, like others said, very nice use of the light ;)

cakencode 2014-05-04 18:29

Super cool! I loved trying to figure out what the shapes were based on their shadows, this is a pretty interesting way to present the world :D

vigrid 2014-05-04 22:27

Awesome visuals, excellent music, and innovative approach to mechanics. Second best so far. (The best one is ours of course) ;)

nicealexanderas 2014-05-14 22:38

rzial 2014-05-19 15:56
