Neutronized's latest platformer, Shadow Trick, offers a charming retro experience. The publisher, known for titles like Shovel Pirate, Slime Labs 3, Super Cat Tales, and Yokai Dungeon: Monster Games, delivers another short, fun, and easily accessible game. Shadow Trick's 16-bit pixel art style creates a nostalgic atmosphere, and the best part? It's free-to-play.

Gameplay in Shadow Trick:

As a shadow-shifting wizard, players navigate a magical castle filled with challenging biomes, hidden perils, and formidable bosses. The core mechanic involves switching between physical and shadow forms to solve puzzles, evade traps, and outsmart enemies.

The game features 24 levels, each concealing three moon crystals. Collecting all 72 crystals requires skillful boss battles without taking damage – a feat made challenging by tricky opponents like the disappearing red ghost. Environmental variety is a highlight, with levels including aquatic sections where players must navigate as shadows, encountering unique underwater bosses.
