A feline game of light and shadow! sh2dow cat is a puzzle platformer that combines two 2D perspectives. Switch between a physical white cat and a shadow cat, and use the light to find your way through the levels.


This is my first time making a game! The mechanics and levels are still in the testing phase, and I'd love to hear your honest thoughts. I'm open to all kinds of feedback, so feel free to drop a comment below!

I tried and got stuck on the new level 4. I can't figure out how to lift the box near the start. Also I still don't understand why restarting sometime starts me as the grey cat and sometimes as the white cat. I am curious to hear a hint or solution if you want to provide it

The box near the start doesn't need to be moved, so I'm considering removing it. Also, I'm really curious how it's possible to start as the black cat—I just can't reproduce it.
Never mind, I think I have fixed it, hopefully.

Hi, so I like the idea of this game but I'm really struggling to play it. In level 5 I had to do what I think was cheese by throwing the crate so it landed on the edge, then falling onto it by holding right, then pushing it by sliding off the left corner and quickly getting back on top of it which pushed it to the right. This felt way to obscure and fiddly to be the correct solution. 

Then in level 8 I got completely stuck. I couldn't figure out why sometimes restarting caused the crate to fall through the floor and why sometime the crate would slide along the floor and also why sometimes I restarted as the white cat and other times as the black cat. In any case, I couldn't find a solution and decided to stop there. Hope this is helpful feedback.

Your approach for level 5 sounds mostly correct, but there is an easier way to get the crate to the right side. As for level 8, there are indeed display and input issues after restarting. I will fix them as soon as possible. Thank you for playing and for your feedback!
