Shadow Trick is a new platformer from Neutronized. Let me tell you a bit about the publishers first. They dropped Shovel Pirate earlier this year and are also known for other fun games like Slime Labs 3, Super Cat Tales and Yokai Dungeon: Monster Games.Well, now they’ve developed and dropped Shadow Trick. It has the usual Neutronized qualities like it’s short, fun, cute and simple. It has a retro vibe due to its 16-bit pixelated art style. And it’s free to play.What Do You Do In Shadow Trick?Yes, I couldn’t help it and already said it out loud in the title of the article. In this game, you step into the shoes of a wizard who can turn into a shadow to solve puzzles. It’s a neat concept, honestly.Basically, you’ll need to switch between your physical form and your shadow form. By doing so, you uncover secrets, avoid traps and sneak past enemies.Shadow Trick takes place in a magical castle filled with tricky biomes, hidden dangers and some menacing bosses. There are 24 levels in the game. Each level hides three moon crystals, which are key to unlocking the full ending of the game.You’ll need to beat bosses without taking any damage if you want to snag all the 72 crystals. Some bosses are quite nasty and annoying. For example, the red ghost might seem to disappear when you attack it, but it can still reappear later and harm you.The environments in Shadow Trick are quite varied. You get to explore different mediums, including water levels where you need to float as a shadow and meet weird but unique fish bosses.Are You Interested?Shadow Trick has great visuals, if you like retro pixel art in your games, that is.
