Umbra

A light-and-shadow puzzle platformer where every level is built from one mechanic.

Problem

Puzzle games tutorialise the mechanic instead of trusting the player to read it.

What I built

Gameplay systems, 18 levels, the light propagation, the level format.

Outcome

Shipped as a free demo; 2,400 downloads, 41% completion.
