Ratings and reviews

This has the potential to be a fun game, but the controls are extremely unresponsive- specifically the move left/right buttons. The jump control seems ok comparatively however. You can only take one damage before you die and have to start over from the beginning of the level as there are no checkpoints. So, the controls being sluggish cause frequent restarts. It is not really fun having to replay each level 10 or more times.

The idea of becoming a shadow is fun, level design is pretty fun too, but the implementation sucks. Main character moves like bag of potatoes. Can't press a button and see them moving in a moment. Jump is like being thrown, not able to control where they're going. Shadows break my brain, because you can't see half of them because of foreground. And clown boss. Was it scrapped from some PC game? Because it's an overkill for how poorly the main character feels to control.

Good concept, frustrating controls. I beat the 1st boss and would like to play more but cannot because the controls are so sluggish. It's also a bit jarring how the guy jumps back/forth when switching between shadow/real. I understand that the shadow is behind, but also its a game not real life - just have the guy turn into a shadow where he is standing. Same complaint with the controls really - game, not real life. I should be able to jump, then move direction. Worth a play but could be better.
