User guide
After launching the game, select PLAY in the main menu, and you will go to the Level Selection screen. It is recommended to start with the level pack named TUTORIAL. There are other packs named DEFAULT and CLASSIC, and another named LEVELS that is empty.
After selecting your level pack, press Down and then you can select one LEVEL to play, inside of that level pack. At the beginning, only the first level of each pack will be available, but you will get more levels when you finish them. In every screen/menu, if you don't see the cursor/options, press Down and they will appear.
Note that in the Xbox version, there are only 2 working options in the main menu: Play and Quit.
How to play
After selecting a level, the gameplay will start. You must move your character (the white man) to try to go to the exit with him.
Besides, you can record the movements of your character and then replay them with your shadow. Shadows can only be controlled by recording player moves and let shadow mimic them. If your shadow goes to the exit, you win too.
Lots of elements will appear in different levels, like teleporters, interchangers, recorders, switches to move/stop blocks, breakable blocks, blocks that only affect to your shadow. You can learn about them by playing the tutorial.
Prizes/Medals
You can beat a level arriving to the exit door, and you will get a medal.
But the kind of medal will be different, depending on the time that you spent to arrive.
If you want to get the Gold medal, you must arrive to the exit in less time than the Target time marked for each level.
