Light & Shadow
Light & Shadow is a 2D platformer puzzle game, player will need to use the ability of controlling one's shadow to solve the puzzles and uncover the secret of the world.
Inspiration
My inspiration of making this game is from a chat with my friend. When we were discussing a topic about superpowers, he told me he wants the superpower of controling his shadow. Shadow is an incarnation of ourselves in another world, a 2D world. It's such a cool idea so I thought about making this game to present the usage of this super power.
Background
The story of the game happens in a future city. The player, playing as a detective who solve cases with a special ability of controlling his shadow, will need to break through a series of obstacles and find out the secret of the city.
In the game, there is the real world and the shadow world. In the real world, the shadow is limited in movement and can only move under the irradiation of light, while in the shadow world, it can move arbitrarily in the shadow.
Brainstorm
I did some brainstorming to spread out my ideas and put them together.
Shadow World
I was fascinated by the shadow world I imagined. I imagine the shadow world is not colorful colors, it is composed of black, white and gray.

The End Is Nigh
There are some games I've played where the scenes remind me of the shadow world.
