Awesome little puzzle game, would love to see more Shadow-Incan puzzles. Great work.

Best theme usage so far (ok we are starting yet but still amazing). Nice graphics. Sound is starting too loud.

Overall very well done. First entry I've given 5 stars for Theme! Nice audio. Something to be proud of for sure :D

I loved this game. The shadow mechanic was great and resulted in tough but fun gameplay.

I love the graphics to this; I'm a sucker for cultural art style. Incredibly innovative; I'd play this on my phone for hours.

A really awesome game, the puzzles are clever and the idea of controlling the shadow and flipping upside down is really cool . The first time I play a puzzle platformer upside down :D
One thing that put me off towards the end was the control though. I can't press the jump and move at the same time which makes me died a lot of times and it became a bit frustrating. 10/10 will come back and play it if the control gets better :) Graphics and music is nice btw.

I love the concept. The controls are a bit hard to get used to but fun game overall

Really entertaining, the perfect balance between challenging and fun. Good job!

Very clever use of shadows, would make a pretty sick game if it were more polished (moving up through shadows)

joshk 2014-08-26 06:01

nice game, really fits the theme.

aflatminerstudios 2014-08-26 15:37

Excellent game. The Incan character is particularly fantastic, I love how you kept the cultural theme throughout.

nylonica 2014-08-26 15:46

Really really cool!

Great entry. Shadow mechanics is very nice and innovative. Music is really nice. Love it, great job!

phaix 2014-08-27 06:42

Cool game! I really like the concept with the shadows.

dabuuker 2014-08-27 06:45

Good idea. The game is fun and fits in with the theme.

zoneone2 2014-08-27 20:19

Wow. This is definitely one of the best I've seen.

zoomyzoom 2014-08-27 20:20

Superb game! I loved the mechanics!

bamboo 2014-08-29 01:21

Very nice! I liked the way the mechanics were introduced gradually, and without being spoonfed.

pikkpoiss 2014-08-29 01:24

Nice game! The mechanic is cool, and I like the art style.

tosic 2014-08-29 06:11

I love the egyptian style and the look of the game, although, sounds are maybe a little weird!

aevek 2014-08-29 06:18

Amazing. Incredible achievement for a 72 hour game. Pacing was good, loved the core puzzle mechanic.

paperboxstudios 2014-08-29 06:45

Incantation definitely shows off the fact that a fairly large team has worked on it as the visuals, sound, music and mechanics are top notch here.

crefossus 2014-08-29 07:13

Very polished art. I love the game mechanic, but it needs a bit more tutorial levels for the beginning. In particular jumping in shadow world/switching while standing on tall static shadows.

If you end up inside a shadow getting pushed out feels buggy although I can't think of a better way right now.

The static shadows feel strange since you can control the rest of the shadows. Of course they are key to making the gameplay interesting so again not sure on the fix.

Missing some sound fx for jump or switch etc.

dohan 2014-08-29 20:46

Shadow control is a very interesting concept. Also, there was a lot of levels!

sprawl 2014-08-31 12:08

I loved it ! The idea and implementation are great.

things I'd modify :
-the shadow when the sun is on one of the extreme side seems glitchy to me.
-You can get stuck in shadows sometimes.

This is one of the best game i've played this jam. Great job !

maxom 2014-08-31 12:24

First I thought: "not again this switching at the ground mechanic" but then you guys really surprised me with this whole shadow thing. I really enjoyed playing it!

Great puzzle game :)

saphyre1306 2014-09-03 19:11

Nice, but I have an azerty keyboard and controls were too tricky for me...

tautnerve 2014-09-03 19:45

Clever design and great use of the theme!
I liked the sound effects as well, could
be made into a very neat post compo game

dookie 2014-09-03 19:48

Awesome! Very well rounded game. Graphics, sound, everything. The puzzles were even rather challenging which is often rare in an ld game :)

crocantidepollo 2014-09-05 16:52

Fantastic concept, nice graphics and music. Great work!
