Switch Between You And Your Shadow To Defeat Enemies In New Retro-Style Platformer Shadow Trick

Neutronized's latest platformer, Shadow Trick, is a charming, bite-sized adventure. The creators of hits like Shovel Pirate, Slime Labs 3, Super Cat Tales, and Yokai Dungeon: Monster Games deliver another delightful title. Shadow Trick maintains Neutronized's signature style: short, sweet, simple, and fun. Its 16-bit pixel art gives it a distinct retro feel, and it's available for free.

Shadow Trick Gameplay:

As the title suggests, you play a wizard capable of transforming into a shadow to solve puzzles. This core mechanic is cleverly implemented. Players must seamlessly switch between their physical and shadow forms to navigate the magical castle, avoiding traps, bypassing enemies, and uncovering secrets.

The game features 24 levels, each concealing three moon crystals. Collecting all 72 crystals is crucial for unlocking the complete ending. This feat requires flawless boss battles, as some bosses present unique challenges (e.g., the red ghost's disappearing act).

Shadow Trick boasts diverse environments, including aquatic levels requiring shadow-form navigation and encounters with quirky fish bosses.

Worth a Play?

Shadow Trick's retro pixel art style is visually appealing, complemented by impressive environments and catchy chiptune music. If you appreciate retro aesthetics and enjoy short, engaging platformers, this free-to-play title on the Google Play Store is definitely worth checking out.
