Absolutely Loved it. Loved the palette, loved the adaptation for the theme using the light as a constraint and the shadow as the place to use the dash power, the combination of elements... everything. You have my admiration! Congratulations on a great submission!

Thank you so much for your feedback, I appreciated it! :D
