Shadowboxer

A martial artist trains while his shadows spar above. 

GMTK Jam 2019 entry. My first game jam.

Instructions:
Kick the opponent's shadow and don't get kicked. Two hits to win.

Controls:
[a]/[d] - player 1
[left]/[right] - player 2

It was clear within a few hours that the concept wasn't going to work, but I forced myself to "finish" the game anyway. I wanted to retain the realistic aspect of two spotlights casting identical shadows, but that constraint might not allow a fun game. I still think there is some value to the core idea. Hopefully it can inspire something better!
