I really really love the shadow mechanic in this game. It's really cool how it works.

I just wish there were more harder levels that force you to move the projector around more.

Currently all levels can be solved by placing it and leaving it in one spot.

With some polish on the item interactions more _selectable?_ levels could make this a really fun memory puzzle game.

I would make the intro starting level maybe 3 steps at most. Especially to get used to the controls & mechanic.

It's also rare to see a game run at my monitor's refresh rate of 360hz. For a 3D WebGL game that's really impressive.

The menu's look pretty too! Love the fades.

This game being greyscale mono-chromatic is a really cool aesthetic. It also makes the colored gems really pop!

Overall well done! I'd love to see more levels and mechanics added to this game. <3

Gave some additional UX/UI feedback in the Discord chat! :)

I really liked the gameplay of the game because I think it’s creative to follow the steps of Umbra through the shadows and being able to change the position of the light was the thing I liked. Being able to see the room through different angles was fun!

I felt I was taking photos at times because I needed to change the angle of the projector and be able to see what the shadow did, which I liked, also sometimes I could feel the shadow was there as 3D and not just a shadow. 

And good visuals. :)

I didn’t have much problem with the lack of audio, I could put music I like while playing so it didn’t affect the gameplay much for me.

I would liked that you could resume the play with hitting space again, like if I was going x2 forward, then pause, it would be good if it went back to x2 instead of pressing forward 2 times again. It is my only “issue” with the game

Oh, and the fact you could put the bottles in the air was funny, you could put it anywhere as long as you can even if it floats

Outside of that I had fun going step by step with the shadow, it can be tricky since the things aren’t in the same place but it added fun for me.

Oh, and my old PC could run this 3D game which made me happy, usually I have to move to a more powerful PC to play the games people shared and are 3D, so that’s a bonus for me.

Thanks for sharing your game! :D

Such an awesome idea! With a smooth and clean art direction and easy to understand instructions on how the game works :3

The puzzle itself were nicely tricky. I needed minimum 2 tries on all of them. And i loved that i was able to move the light after the first puzzle, which opens up so much more on puzzle possibilities :D

Im amazed at the shadow animation in general and wonder how you did that so that is runs correct from different angles :D

I felt like a reset option as button would be nice, after i noticed that my potion steps have been wrong. Which also would have resetted the 3D objects. 

And it took me a bit to notice that i could stop, maybe an ui icon as stop sign when its stopped would indicate it nicely that the stop exists. I skipped over the stop often at first when i switched between reverse and play. But maybe that was also me being dumb, when i didnt see that it can stop ,:D

Some mechanics seem to have a cooldown which is nice to avoid double tipping, but it feels like it could be longer on the cauldron. I was able to spam create wrong crystals with extract.

I liked that the different potions and items had comments, which made them more unique :D. But I feel like i found a bug on it. I looked at a Potion and didnt understand what it was at first so after the dialog disappeared i looked at the ground and then again on the Potion. I had to look at the spoon or something else and then again on the specific Potion to get the dialog again. Looking at it, then at the ground or just not at an object and then on the Potion again didnt show the dialog again.

In total, its an awesome game and was very fun. :D

I like this idea a lot! Using the shadows and time to solve puzzles is brilliant, be careful, the flashing black and white could be an epilepsy trigger. I really really wish there were music and sound to keep me engaged, great work!

This is really fun! It fits the jam theme well. It took me a while to figure out the puzzles, but that was my own fault because I'm dumb. Great job!

very clever and well executed game , fits the theme really well

I like the concept here, and managed to complete all 3 puzzles; admittedly, I had to take a few rewinds to take a closer look, but eventually figured things out. I also like how later levels would have you find the right spot for the spotlight.

One annoyance would be picking up items and then dropping them; often Drop command wouldn't appear, and after a bit of mouse juggling it would appear at a position where the item would end up in a weird spot. I feel like my playthrough would be significantly shorter and smoother if not for this oddity.

The graphics were fine; too bad there was no audio. Neat entry, overall.

I really liked the setting and idea. It has huge potential. The two levels are very easy, but I can see this becoming a deduction/detective game like “Return of the Obra Dinn”.

No sound is a bit of a let down, but the graphics were good enough that I felt immersed.

There is some quirkiness with the object physics, especially when dropping them. I think allowing the player to always be able to drop the items with a rigid body sim would work better, but it served it’s purpose.

Overall well done, keep at it. I would love to see more!

Very cool idea for mechanic and it's well presented! The controls were a bit finicky at times for me though.

Such a cool concept. This feels like it has a lot of potential. Yeah, no sound is a bit of a bummer, but don't be too hard on yourself, you made something great nonetheless.

No sound design is killer for such a fun game experience. Great job making everything, it was masterful!

That's so clever! Wish I thought of it!

I genuinely cannot believe something this awesome and complicated was made in just 7 days. Absolutely blown away.

Just gonna get the bad outta the way. It needs sound, any sound any music just anything would have been nice because playing it in total silence felt weird and as if it robbed the game greatly.

Even if the lack of sound was a drawback the mechanics, the shadow replay / reverse system the style the goal to follow the shadow through the recordings... It was all so beautifully done and executed that I would not be surprised to see a full fledged game of this style in the future. You really made something awesome here and my biggest complaint is that I don't have more to play.

Played and I have to say that the use of the "Shadow Recording" is amazing ! Good job !

This is a cool game! The puzzles were fun too! And gaphically it fit so well! loved it
