Don't Touch the Pavement

Uh oh! Looks like you forgot to bring your shoes on your commute to work! How ever are you going to reach your office without burning your poor, bare feet on the pavement?

Never fear, for while you may have forgotten your shoes, you at least remembered your handy sun-repositioning device, as well as several elixir vials to power it!

Navigate your way through 10 levels, avoiding burning your feet by manipulating the sun to transform shadows to quell the searing heat of the pavement and allow safe passage, while making sure to conserve elixir .

Theme

We took the interpretation of shadows quite literally, objects cast shadows based off of the position of the sun.

For alchemy, we chose the definition of transformation, by combining the position of the sun, with the objects on the street, you are transforming the shadows in order to create a safe path across the street
