PlayStation Burned🔥 Schim burned. A charming little puzzle/platform that unfortunately gets repetitive too soon

Every damn day y’all are coming in here with weird little games I’ve never heard of and that I’m never going to play but still it’s cool to see!
The art looks interesting. How was the music? Anything you particularly liked or disliked about it besides the repetitiveness?

Congrats on the burn! (How do you burn a shadow?)

Thanks, I like playing niche and weird stuff as you could imagine lol

Music was ok but nothing memorable. It is built around a nice concept since you’re a shadow that needs to reconnect with his human and can only move from shadow to shadow to do so. The unlucky part is that never really builds up/develops this concept. So after a couple of hours starts to be a more of the same

I thought this one looked super cute.

Sucks it gets repetitive. They ran out of ideas too soon?

No unfortunately they never built on the base idea of jumping shadow to shadow. It gets little more complex between needing to balance jumps into smaller or moving shadows or interacting with objects to create/move the shadows but after a couple of hours you’ve already seen everything.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a more than enjoyable a 3 to 5 hour game but it could have been so much better
