Shadow Dodge
Steer a little sneak around a gallery floor while a roaming lamp throws your shadow. Keep that shadow out of red spotlights and laser sensors, and sweep it over stars.
Shadow Dodge is a stealth survival arcade game with an unusual twist: you do not have to hide yourself, you have to hide your shadow. A glowing lamp drifts around the gallery floor on a looping path, and your shadow always stretches away from it. Move closer to the lamp and the shadow shortens, step away and it swings long across the tiles, so every move you make shifts it somewhere new.
Red spotlights glide around the room, bouncing off the walls, and later rotating laser sensors start sweeping in wide arcs. Whenever your shadow touches one, the alarm meter fills, and when it maxes out you are spotted and the run ends. Step back into the dark and the alarm slowly cools off. A new spotlight joins every few seconds up to seven, lasers arrive after the first quarter minute, and the lamp itself speeds up the longer you survive. Points come from survival time, and each star your shadow sweeps over is worth a fifty-point bonus.
This shadow stealth game suits players who enjoy endless dodgers and want a fresh spatial puzzle under pressure. Tip: when things get crowded, move toward the lamp. A short shadow is much easier to tuck into a safe gap than a long one.
How to play
Move your character so the shadow cast by the roaming lamp stays out of red spotlights and laser beams. While your shadow is seen the alarm fills, and a full alarm ends the run. Score points for every second survived and fifty for each star your shadow touches.
