Reason
In this game, the player must successfully project the shadow of an object placed in front of a wall surface and lead the shadow character to the goal. However, while the action of the main character - the light source - is the same, we felt the potential of the game since, rather than simply creating paths by devising objects to be projected as a puzzle, it features more developed patterns that depend on the user's skill in delicately controlling the character in conjunction with the map gimmick and shows a variety of characters on each floor.
While the way that the theme of "projection" is used is orthodox in some ways, such as including physical behaviors to establish the level design of the game, the things that the developers wanted to do with this game are also clearly expressed on the design side and we liked how approachable the game was.

Work Introdution
An action puzzle game where the player controls the light source hero and leads a black round character on the wall to the goal.
It is the shadow that leads to the goal. The player can control the angle and distance at which light is applied to the objects in front of the wall.
The player projects the shadow that changes greatly depending on the speed that the hero is moved, and leads the character to the goal.
The game has a simple clear rule of the shadow being a guideline, but with a playable structure that features different gaming characteristics for each floor, such as a stage requiring high action and a stage requiring instantaneous judgment, players will not get bored .
Even though it is a simple game system, with the dilemma that if you don't grasp the object shape and the guideline up to the goal and skillfully project the shadow by shining the light you cannot proceed as you wish, you feel a great sense of satisfaction when you clear a stage, making the game highly addictive.
