Switch Between Shadows: Retro Platformer Debuts Unique Gameplay

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 the signature Neutronized 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 brimming with puzzles, traps, and challenging bosses. The core mechanic involves switching between your physical and shadow forms to overcome obstacles, uncover secrets, and evade enemies.

The game features 24 levels, each concealing three elusive moon crystals. Collecting all 72 crystals is key to unlocking the complete ending, a feat requiring flawless boss battles. These encounters can be tricky; for instance, the red ghost's disappearing act can be deceivingly dangerous.

Shadow Trick boasts diverse environments, including aquatic levels where you'll navigate as a shadow, encountering unusual and memorable fish bosses.

Worth a Play?

Fans of retro pixel art will appreciate Shadow Trick's stunning visuals and charming chiptune soundtrack. Its varied environments and engaging gameplay make it a worthwhile download from the Google Play Store.
