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 distinct retro feel, and the best part? It's free-to-play!

Gameplay in Shadow Trick

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, evading enemies, and uncovering hidden secrets.

The game boasts 24 levels, each concealing three moon crystals. Collecting all 72 crystals is crucial for unlocking the complete ending. This won't be easy; challenging bosses await, demanding perfect runs to avoid taking damage. Expect diverse and tricky environments, including aquatic levels where you'll navigate as a shadow, encountering unusual fish-like bosses.

Worth a Look?

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 challenging yet rewarding platformers, Shadow Trick is definitely worth checking out on the Google Play Store.
