Introducing Shade

After three months of work and play I’m happy to finally release Shade for play testing. Shade is a casual game available for Windows and OS X in which you try collect as many mushroom as you can while staying in the shadows. Way back when I came across Lost Garden’s prototype challenge for Shade and thought it was a great idea. Now, three months later the idea has finally taken the form of a complete game, which I present to you:

Please visit the new Shade page to download the latest copy of the game, leave feedback, and see anything else related to the game. I would also really appreciate it if you left some feedback here or on Shade’s feedback page. Here are some things to think about when playing:

1. How difficult is the game?
2. Is the game too long, too short, or just right?
3. Should your health carry over from level to level or refill at the end of a level?
4. What’s your favorite level? What’s your least favorite level?
5. What’s the most annoying thing about the game?
6. Did you feel the pace of the game was too fast, too slow? Why?
7. Was the game’s visual presentation fitting for the game?
8. Were there any obstacles you found more frustrating than others? (In a bad way)
9. Was there anything you found about controlling the player which you found difficult?
10. Was there you felt was unclear or didn’t understand?
11. What do you think would add most to the gameplay?

I hope you enjoy and please let me know what you think!
