Shadow Witch was developed for the Amusnet Hackaton 2025 in 36 hours, and won first place 🥇.

About the Game
A child wanders into the woods and steps through a mysterious open gate.
An evil witch awaits — she curses him, splits his shadow into an evil twin, and drains all color from the world.

Your goal: collect the color shards and restore the world while keeping your fragile light alive.
Stay hidden from your own shadow… or be consumed by it.

Fun little game! Even on hard, it becomes easier and easier as more of the map is lit up. It doenst quite follow the trend in gaming where games become harder as the player progresses. That being said, I did get caught a few times when I was picking up the candles as I saw them available, rather than being strategic with my light level. Also, when the witch shows up, I didnt realize the point was to run through the exit and did find it fairly easy to do so once I knew that was the objective. Again, really fun game! Loved the music, art style, polish was good too! Job well done, I can see why you all won!
