Shifting Shadows is a platforming-based puzzle game about manipulating items in the environment by consuming and transmuting them in order to reach the next level. How far can you go?

The player must carefully analyze and plan their route and order of operations through a level in order to properly reach the goal, performing resource management along the way. The player must learn how to utilize each item they are able to create, and how they can take advantage of it to traverse the level.

I really like it and than after level 15 it was just frustrating (but I got through). But other than that really beautifull cool but sometimes frustrating mechanics and beautifull music. Really well done job.
