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

Neutronized's latest platformer, Shadow Trick, offers a charming retro experience. The developers, known for titles like Shovel Pirate, Slime Labs 3, Super Cat Tales, and Yokai Dungeon: Monster Games, deliver another short, fun, and accessible game. Shadow Trick's 16-bit pixel art style creates a nostalgic atmosphere, and the best part? It's free-to-play.

Gameplay in Shadow Trick:

As a shadow-shifting wizard, you'll navigate a magical castle, solving puzzles by switching between your physical and shadow forms. This mechanic is used to uncover secrets, bypass traps, and evade enemies.

The game features 24 levels, each concealing three moon crystals. Collecting all 72 crystals requires flawless boss battles, as some bosses employ tricky tactics (like the disappearing red ghost!). Environments are diverse, including water levels where shadow form is essential, introducing unique aquatic boss encounters.

Worth a Look?

Shadow Trick boasts appealing retro pixel art visuals, impressive environments, and catchy chiptune music. If you enjoy classic platformers with a modern twist, download it from the Google Play Store.
