Really great game! Bug I noticed was after crafting the ruby and inserted into the brother's statue and went to find him again to see if he said anything new and when I returned to the door next to his statue the ruby was gone so I couldn't open the door.
You'll be able to 😉 we're adding the castle and the story in a way to our metroidvania! We're showing progress in the discord server and via devlogs on YouTube if you want to keep up with it ♥️
Thanks for playing! The story will continue and be integrated into Amber's Tale. You are more than welcome to join our discord or youtube to see how it develops!
You'll be happy to know that we're adding it to our metroidvania! The mechanics and theming along with expanding on the story! You can see more of the plan on our YouTube! ♥️

I like it in a lot of ways: story, platforming, puzzles. However, it's too easy to get lost and there's no map. I'm now lost despite crafting all objects and having a gold key.
Yeah we didn't have much time to expand on it as it was for a game jam. It we're adding it to our metroidvania so we'll have all those quality of life features!
To be fair you've not missed much, all you would do once you have the ruby and key is I teract with the pedestal next to the big door to place the ruby and then I teract with the door.. there is a little bit of story and then the game resets

Very good game! I really like it. Played it all the way through twice. But on the second time around after I placed the ruby, I went in search for the Easter egg you mentioned. And the ruby disappeared and I couldn’t get it back to finish it.
Please tell me what the Easter egg is. I can’t figure it out and it’s driving me crazy!
I placed the upgraded ruby, made the gold key and opened the big door, then i went back to the start. Is that intended? Should I have kept playing or was that it? Either way this is a really cool game mechanic set, would love to see a longer game.
i grabed the lantern in the start and the gravity froze. i cant even use the unstuck function cuz there is a brick in the way. sure that the culprit is web. congrats on the second place!
also just found out that after checking if i can walk after unstucking myself with the shadow and returning ALL buttons now do nothing except A/D so yay im stuck slightly above ground in the very start. how does WebGL get that bad?
also also. i restarted and got to the big door and pressed F and space and E at the same time, making ALL buttons not work except P and when i did press it only my shadow got to the bottom AND the text is still visible and buged so i got softlocked again.
Atmosphere, music, ui, the puzzles. Perfect. I had a lot of fun playing this game. At some points the shadow or the player vibrates also after getting the ruby I fell before the lift comes down and the lift squished me and my sprite disappears. This game was super enjoyable and I loved playing every moment. The ability to turn the blue light on to reveal secrets is chefs kiss. The storytelling as well. Thank you for sharing your game and I hope y'all continue to make games! Great work.
This was fantastic. Visually stunning, the SFX is top notch, the mechanics are clever, the story is engaging. I think I managed to sequence-break at some point but I'm not even sure, because I still explored the whole map and there's a door I'm confused about. The controls were a bit confusing or at least the layout was unfamiliar to me but I guess it just takes a bit of getting used to. Anyways, great job. Incredibly polished game.
Okay wow. So first of all the art is fantastic sets the tone and the mood well and never fumbles throughout.
The music and SFX are great. ESPECIALLY the weighty SFX of the knight when you move around. I love it so much.
The progression and exploration were fun and the shadow/blue light mechanics were pretty fun and simple enough tha I didn't spend too much time trying to figure out any sections.
Overall a short but really fun and well polished game with a sweet little story ontop.
Love the movement mechanics and the animations, the art in general fits very well with the music. Definitely would love to this this game scale into a larger project
Agreed Id love to work on this and come up with even more powers that use the shadow and light mechanic! Id love to see the lantern be placed in specific places to cast shadows on walls that allow the shadow to navigate and things like that! The possibilities are endless!
But thanks for taking the time to play! we really appreciate it!
beautiful game, the ending surprised me as it just looped lol.
i think there’s a better layout for keyboard as i kept confusing e and f together, but the game is great and has a lot of interesting lore!
good job :D
Thanks you for playing!!! Yeah we had a main menu but on the final build it stopped working *eek* so we had to cut it... wed love to expand on it further though for sure! and I do agree about the controls... i typically only play games with a controller so it was wierd for me to adjust too. <3

Bug: Cannot control shadow and stuck at y-level after going to silver key door before crafting (soft-lock)
Really great game! Bug I noticed was after crafting the ruby and inserted into the brother's statue and went to find him again to see if he said anything new and when I returned to the door next to his statue the ruby was gone so I couldn't open the door.
Game is short but damn was it good! I'd like to see more of Alarics and Evelinas story together. For this kind of game i would pay.
You'll be able to 😉 we're adding the castle and the story in a way to our metroidvania! We're showing progress in the discord server and via devlogs on YouTube if you want to keep up with it ♥️

Can I get a hint on how to move forward please?
To be fair you've not missed much, all you would do once you have the ruby and key is I teract with the pedestal next to the big door to place the ruby and then I teract with the door.. there is a little bit of story and then the game resets
I put the ruby down but the door said I had to do something else.
I tried it again and it worked. Not sure what changed.
Love this game
Excellent game. I love the mechanics. I love seeing something new and creative like this

Any chance for a windows download? The webGL for me is performing poorly.
Ill sort something by tomorrow! Gonna be patching a few bugs too! :)
Awesome thanks. Great work on the game and congrats on the win!
Any update on the downloadable version? Thanks.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We put a lot of effort into the SFX, and it means a lot to know you enjoyed them.

very polished, potentially something that could be worked into a bigger paid release.
Thanks so much! As the music composers, and narrative designers we'd love to continue exploring the castle of Elaria!
