Overshadowed is a puzzle platformer where you work through a changing landscape of platforms, lights and shadows, detaching your own shadow from yourself with your magic flashlight, to reach the end of each level. Use your shadow to cross shadow bridges and manipulate platforms to get safely to the exit. This version of the game is basically a concept demo and includes 6 levels of increasing difficulty.

This is my submission for PirateJam15. This is my first game jam and my first original game. All code, design, art, icons, sound effects, and other assets were created by me. I also wrote 3 original songs for the jam, and included them as separate downloads below.

Really cool game mechanic that's simple to learn the controls of but has tons of potential for game variety. Music was fitting for the levels, and I love that you added charm by commenting on why you couldn't jump.

Thank you!
