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 :)

Game loaded but the play button did not respond to clicks

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

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.

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 :)

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

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

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

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 :]!

Best was 33. Very interesting patterns. Nice job.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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
vigrid4 May 2014, 22:27
Awesome visuals, excellent music, and innovative approach to mechanics. Second best so far. (The best one is ours of course) ;)
