Cast shadows and create recognizable silhouettes in Shadowmatic.

Watch the trailer

Spin To Create A Shadow. Spin the 3D object in an attempt to create a shadow of a recognizable object.

Discover Secrets. Some levels have hidden shadow secrets that you can discover, while trying to find the main shape of the level.

Control Two Shapes. Tougher levels will include multiple shapes to spin individually, and then move together to create the shadow.

What is it about?

Shadowmatic is one of the best you can grab so far this year. I am in love with the pragmatic visuals, the exclusive environments, ambient tunes, and simple controls. The progress bar works well in telling me if I’m close to solving it, though at times it just feels like I’m randomly spinning it around to light up the dots.

For those who...

  • Like challenging puzzle games
  • Are looking for something different

Not for those who...

  • Like high-speed adventures
  • Like a lot of noise

Why we love it

If you're looking for a game that is special and relaxing, Shadowmatic is for you. The shadows are sharp and contrast well with the rest of the surroundings, and it’s incredibly fun to watch the shadows morph into something new as you move the figures around. The animations are super smooth and the soundtrack is a joy to listen to, best experienced with a good pair of headphones.
