Such a cool and cute game! I loved the shadow mechanics, though the sensitivity on moving the statues are a bit strong. The atmosphere reminded me of old school point and click games, or Van Gogh's Starry night. Some resolution differences I could see between assets, but nothing too distracting, and the style really melded together!
Very cool game! I love that it's a puzzle game where there are multiple solutions possible. It made it really fun to toy around and try different possibilities
Awesome game! The mechanics are clever :)
