Shadow Follow

I called my game for the jam shadows follow, I hope that's not a problem, btw congratulations on making a 3d game I think it is realy cool.

I really like the idea, and it worked well enough that I could play to the end with all the potions found.

However, the game could use a bit more visual cues as to what I'm actually doing. Unless I am completely mistaken, there's nothing hinting at what is the right shadow, so what could be a challenging puzzle game kind of turned into "run around every object until you stumble upon the correct one" for me. Which was still enjoyable, but it was less of a game than it could have been in that regard.

Good for a first game. Your player controller is very broken though. It feels a little janky, and you can get an insane speed boost if you sprint and crouch. Also be sure you have the rights to use the music at the end lol it still has the anti piracy text to speech voice part in it. Other than that good work, the environment looks good.

good game, my only problem with it is that the last area confused me with the flickering torches, i thought i had to stand underneath one of the torches to get the door to open and did not think i would have to just walk into the door to open it

I played for a few rooms and gotta say, i really like the idea of standing in the correct shadows :) But solely collection potions feels like a needless point system, i dunno? maybe make it so you collect ingredients for your neyt alchemy recipe?

ps: laggs quite a bit, and i don't think the music is licensed for commercial use?

lags a lot. have you added texture culling? also cant move at all

Okay so great work  with completing your first game, alot of elements are actually pretty cool for a first game and deserve a mention. First off though I just want to mention a few things that can improve the game... the FOV is a bit weird and feels way to zoomed in. Go to the main camera and change the FOV or the sizing. The second would be the explanation  try to add more hints about the objective of the game. Throughout the game I would randomly run into objects just to test if they were the key. 

Great work on the WebGL export, updating ui elements and music. Most first games don't have these so good work. 

There are still 10 days remaining, keep going with the project work on polish and improving the game feel. 

Good luck! 

Nice game!

doors after the level with cactus do not block the player, if you pass the room with cactus further you can pass through the doors without activating shadows

well, i somehow beat the game. it was very laggy, i still do not understand why making a table slam me into the door opens it. i have no idea why the so called "shadows" move like in a top down game WHILE the player is moving in an fps fashion. the only mechanic that actually worked and was kinda fun were the potions. also the music in the last area still has a watermark witch is always funny. overall rating 4/10,"its a game i guess."

stuck in first area. how do i leave thru the door? what is a "correct shadow"?
