SHADOWDASH - a 1-bit pixel-perfect prototype

Welcome to ShadowDash! A little protoype project I made for the 1-BIT JAM by  MYline media. Collect all the hidden coins to go to the next level!

Controls:

WASD to move
Spacebar to jump (again to doublejump)
Hold Shift to do the ShadowDash. The game slows down and you can aim your dash with the arrow keys. Release to move in the desired direction.

OR with controller (for better Dashing controls):

Joystick to move
A to jump
Any of the other buttons to start Shadowdashing

good game You can improve it later , and it's nice that the music slows down when you dash.

Good game and nice music. I wonder how dynamic black shadow is handled. The last level is fun and challenging.

Thank you! Glad to hear you liked it.
I got the shadows by attaching GODOT's 2DPointLight to the character, which is only allowed to light up the coins and the white background. The trick to get pitchblack shadows is to add a second light to the scene, which covers the background and subtracts all light instead of adding it. Result: the character only lights up that what it "sees".

Thanks for the explanation 👍

Pretty fun! I like dashing in mid-air, and the movement is smooth

Thanks! Yea, I focussed mostly on the movement and shadow-mechanic. I  might update the levels a bit to fit more with the movement.
