In The Shadows

In The Shadows

I saw this game at a student developer showing at a college in Montreal some time ago and was very impressed so when I saw it on Steam I had to try it out. The game is very good, the story, design and game play are very well thought out. I am a big fan of unique puzzle games, kind of tired of the same stuff so I look for more original designs and this one fits the bill with a nice light and shadow based game play that adds new concepts as you go through the levels to keep it interesting, even to the point where I would have liked to see even more levels with certain mechanics (like the movement of the sun or the shadow mirroring levels). Given this it must also be noted that there are some issues which I am sure could have been polished with more time. The controls are less responsive than ideal (mainly the jumping), there were some glitches where I had to restart the level as my shadow no longer jumped, the respawn points were often off leaving you in an area that forced a level restart plus a few other minor bugs. None of these really were much of an issue though, so I still really recommend trying it out.

In the Shadows is a little gem of an indie game!

I really enjoyed the pixel art and animation in this puzzle game.

Clearly a lot of time and effort was put into the visual aesthetic and soundtrack and it makes for a very atmospheric experience.

Most puzzles are a joy to figure out, but I did run into 2 or 3 that required too specific a timing and execution to complete for my taste.

Overall however the levels never outstay their welcome, on top of that all of them are nicely varied and beautifully detailed.

Great idea for a game.

Not too expensive for a niche puzzle platformer, but otherwise I have no complaints. There

is a discount for the game, I recommend taking it.

Интересная и нервная игрушка. А самое главное пройти ее можно не так и быстро. Очень трудно было пройти 6 уровень. А так все более менее легкое.

Very good puzzle platformer,fun to play and puzzles will give you a decent challenge.

Wish there were more levels and some harder levels too because some mechanics are really good and could be used to make more challenging levels.

All in all a solid puzzle platformer and worth the asking price

I have enjoyed playing this game. Got 6 hours from 60 puzzles. Currently stuck on the (final??) one with the fir balls witch. The graphics and interface are very basic but the gameplay is satisfyingly addictive to keep going puzzle after puzzle. Well done devs for a cleverly simple game.

I found this game by looking for a couch co-op that I could play with my lady who likes puzzle games. We were pleasantly surprised by how simple and yet fun the game is.

Clever use of mouse and keyboard. Being able to rotate the platforms opens up interesting solutions. Your platforming still needs to be on par though to make it through all the puzzles. Personally I liked the minimalist 8-bit look of the levels.

Nice puzzle platformer.

Played from start to finish and I’m satisfied with the challenge (not too easy nor too hard) and the overall presentation is coherent with the price, so I would say it has a very good value.

这个游戏强力推荐,本以为毫无难度,但我死了无数次,巨痛苦,总之这款游戏verygood,两个小时通关,现在正在打硬核难度,大家一定要买来玩玩。

并且我希望作者跟新一些dlc,新模式玩玩,要是能联机多好,希望作者继续创新。

Este juego se recomienda encarecidamente, no creo que sea difícil, pero he muerto un millón de veces, gran dolor, en resumen, este juego muy bueno, dos horas de despacho de aduanas, ahora está jugando duro difícil, todo el mundo debe comprar para jugar.

Y espero que el autor juegue con algunos nuevos DLC, nuevos modelos, si puede estar en línea, espero que el autor siga innovando.

This game is highly recommended. I thought it was no difficulty, but I died countless times and suffered a lot. In short, this game verygood has passed the customs in two hours. Now it is playing hard core difficulty. We must buy it to play.

Romino’s Adventure

This game is so cute! All the levels were very fun and some were pretty challenging too. It’s a very unique kind of puzzle game, and I loved learning all the neat ways to interact with the tetrominos through the great level design. It was definitely worth the price, and I hope it gets more attention. Buy it if you want a short but great time!

Fun game with nice nostalgic retro graphics and soundtrack, good for relaxing during a calm day.

It combines platforming and tetromino puzzles with some fun replayability, as many levels have more than one possible solution.

The levels are varied, making good use of all the different things that are to be expected in this kind of game. Some require quite a bit of thinking, others are more based on agility or precise platforming, or toying around with the environment.

This is a gem of eight bit art. It is Totally worth the price and you get so many awesome boss battles. If you know Dennis you’ll recognize his sense of humor throughout the dialogue/ monologue. The soundtrack is also really catchy. The camera scrolling is really helpful and I feel relaxed while playing, which is unusual for platformers for me.

Neat little game with a couple hours of content. Unique controls and very nice art and music. Give it a shot if you’re looking for fresh indie content!
