Didn't get to the story so the general idea behind this was: You're having an out-of-body sort of experience (maybe a dream) where you're playing as your Shadow (on the left side of the screen) and you're trying to protect your Body (right side). Your Body has no control over his actions so you must follow him through the level and turn off traps that would kill your Body without your help. There's also enemies/traps that you have to avoid at the same time while making sure you keep your Body alive so you can be together once again!
I watched my roommate who isn't much of a gamer start off pretty terrible but he figured it out. I little more polish would've helped ease the pain. :)
@spiral yes indeed... brutal! :D I think if the scenes were scrolling up rather than on separate screens it would help. The controls are nice and responsive and the simple audio cues help a lot to get timings right. I think if you could arrange it so it needed a bit more thought and was slower-paced rather than this fixed speed and 'on rails' it would be awesome.
Nice original entry here and I really appreciated your view of the theme. Great mechanics! The game flows just fine even with simple graphics and sfx. It's a shame it's so short :(
good idea
