Silhouettes (itch)
About
Silhouettes is a short platformer experience which blends 2D with 3D in separate perspectives. To progress you must control your two dimensional character, however, to assist them you must move objects in the third dimension!
How to play:
When you are in 3D mode you can pickup objects with 'E' and move them around the room on a grid via mouse and scroll wheel. When you move these objects to your preferred position, by pressing 'E' again, they will rest in their final position. Once the objects are placed they will solidify and project silhouettes which your 2D player can navigate on. By pressing 'space' you can enter 2D mode and control the 2D player, press it again to adjust the objects in 3D. Be careful though, the 2D player will fall through the silhouettes while you are in 3D! Good luck finding the squares!
