Neutronized's latest platformer, Shadow Trick, is a charming, short, and simple game with a retro feel. Known for titles like Shovel Pirate, Slime Labs 3, and Super Cat Tales, Neutronized delivers another fun, free-to-play experience.
Gameplay:
Shadow Trick puts you in the shoes of a shadow-shifting wizard. The core mechanic involves switching between your physical form and shadow form to navigate puzzles, avoid traps, and outsmart enemies.
This magical castle adventure unfolds across 24 levels, each concealing three elusive moon crystals. Collecting all 72 crystals requires flawless boss battles—a challenging feat given some particularly tricky adversaries, such as the disappearing-then-reappearing red ghost.
The game boasts diverse environments, including aquatic levels where you’ll navigate as a shadow, encountering bizarre and memorable fish bosses.
Visuals and Sound:
Shadow Trick's 16-bit pixel art style is visually appealing, complemented by catchy chiptune music. The environments are impressively varied and detailed for a game of its size.
