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 retains Neutronized's signature style: short, sweet, simple, and fun. Its 16-bit pixel art gives it a retro feel, and best of all, it's free-to-play.

Shadow Trick Gameplay:

As a shadow-shifting wizard, you'll navigate a magical castle, solving puzzles by switching between your physical and shadow forms. This clever mechanic allows you to bypass obstacles, evade traps, and outsmart enemies.

The game boasts 24 levels, each concealing three elusive moon crystals. Collecting all 72 crystals is crucial for unlocking the complete ending. Be warned, some bosses, like the mischievous red ghost (which can reappear after seemingly vanishing!), present a significant challenge. Perfect runs, avoiding all damage, are required for complete crystal acquisition.

Shadow Trick offers diverse environments, from standard levels to aquatic stages where you'll navigate as a shadow, encountering bizarre and memorable fish bosses.

Worth a Look?

Shadow Trick's retro pixel art style is visually appealing, complemented by impressive environments and catchy chiptune music. If you enjoy retro aesthetics and challenging platforming, download Shadow Trick from the Google Play Store today.
