    I used to live in a desert. Needless to say, the "only stand in the shadows' game we played was very, very real...

    Wow, "Designing a Game Around Shadows!" sounds intriguing! Exploring how shadows can become a core gameplay mechanic must be both challenging and creatively rewarding.
    What inspired you the most to center your game design around shadows, and how do you ensure they enhance rather than detract from the player experience?

      It sure has been challenging as well. For example anything that is decoration also creates a platform in the game. So you have to think of a couple elements at once.
      The biggest inspiration for us is the childhood imagination games everyone used to play when they were young, where you made up your own rules and stuck to them.
      We have tested the game a lot with a wide variety of players to find the spots that felt the best to create the design times we would follow.

    Amazing project!! It’s really original in many aspects.
    And what makes me even more excited is that me and my friend played this game many many years ago in a real life in a school age on the way back home from the school..))
    We were stepping only on the shadows of all the objects (which was very challenging and even a bit dangerous sometimes 😅).
    We called it “Shadow Side”.
    I totally believe in you and your project, wish you great success with it and you have everything for that.
    God bless 🙏

    One problem is if the game only have one mechanic of jump and without consequence, it will be pretty boring fast, this game should kinda learn things from Jump King, some climb to the top kinda games, it's basically the same concept in my head. Either it's hard and punishing games, it's up to the dev.
    one more things, most "relaxing" type of games is kinda boring IMO without some kind of objective or rewards or unlockable, sense of progress is mostly missing on "relaxing" type of games, in this game if we only jumping without some objective, most people will bored pretty fast.
    I'll be honest, most relaxing type of games had some charms and potential, but most of them end up feels really bland.
