Ninjoe finds himself trapped in the basement of Chickensnake Tower. He must take control of the light and shadow to puzzle his way out. Good luck!

If playing with a keyboard, z and c get mapped to the "o" button, and x gets mapped to x.

The lighting aura and how the enemies sprite changes with it was very cool! Also might be something minor, but I REALLY liked the reset being just sliding into another instance of the same room, haha. Got lucky and managed to hit 8:33 too.

Thanks for playing, and nice work on the time!

excellent game , 12 : 40  on my first run 

Glad you enjoyed it :) 12:40 on a first run is great! My time is 5:12 but I have a lot of practice!

Very nice exploration of the concept! 18:16

Thank you, and great time!

Really well done. I still can’t get over the chicken snakes but I think the green snails are my favourite mechanic.

Thanks! Yeah I think the lumisnails are really cute and fun, but the chickesnakes are probably my favorite! Thanks again!

Awesome game through out, I really liked the level design and how the lights/shadows feature was used with enemy's as well as blocks, made for some trial and error levels before the 'aha' moment, well done guys, super game!

This was fantastic! (16:30)

Thank you! That's a great time :) I think my best is a bit over 5 minutes but I've played every level a bunch of times. Thanks again for checking it out!
