Shadow Copy
Slide and rotate paper shapes on a wooden table so the shadows they cast on a parchment wall fill a dashed target silhouette before the timer runs out.
Shadow Copy is a shadow-puppet puzzle game set on a little theater stage. A candle at the front of the table throws the shadows of colorful paper shapes onto a parchment wall, and every level outlines a target silhouette in dashed red. Your job is to arrange the squares, rectangles, triangles, circles and half-moons so their combined shadow covers that outline.
Shadows stretch and shift as you move a piece. Pull a shape toward the back of the table and its shadow climbs the wall, slide it sideways and the shadow swings wider. Drag a piece to move it, twist its round handle to rotate in fifteen-degree steps, and watch the live match meter climb toward the ninety percent goal. Pieces that are close to a correct spot and angle snap neatly into place. Early stages use a single square, while later ones stack crosses, towers and figures from four or five overlapping pieces, start every shape at a scrambled angle and give you less time.
This spatial puzzle suits players who like tangram-style thinking with a cozy, tactile feel. Each solved silhouette scores for accuracy, remaining time and level. Tip: you can also grab a piece by its shadow on the wall, which is often the quickest way to line it up with the outline.
How to play
Move and rotate the shapes on the table so their shadows on the wall cover the dashed target silhouette. Reach a 90% match to clear the level and score points for accuracy and time left. The run ends when the timer runs out.
