What are Skill elements
Since meandmyshadow is a puzzle/platform game a level will most likely contain some sort of challenge. This can be in the form of a puzzle or in the form of a skill challenge.

Jumps are one of the most common skill element.
Horizontal jump
Horizontal jumps can easily made by interrupting a row of blocks with a gap. Both the player and the shadow will have to jump to reach the other end.
One block jump
Two block jump
