Install The 'Me and My Shadow' Puzzle Game Under Ubuntu 12.10/Linux Mint 14



Me and My Shadow is a free open source puzzle game where the player has to guess how to reach the exit with the help of a shadow that will mimic your moves. On your way to the exit, you will have to jump over spikes, moving blocks, etc. The game comes with over 40 levels with the possibility to create custom ones with the help of the built-in 'Map Editor".
