Shadow Bug is a platform game placing a huge emphasis on action elements, released on mobile devices using the Apple iOS operating system. The title is the debut production of an independent, Finish studio called Muro. The game evolved from a simple project of students from Aalto University, which after receiving a number of honors, motivated the young developers to further expand their project.

Plot

Plot of Shadow Bug is kind of penurious, being only a pretext for the proper gameplay. We assume the role of a ninja-like worm, who is armed with two lethal swords. He faces the forces of evil, which have seized his home-forest.

Indie Ranger: 3.5 / 5 by Ali Abdullah

Every stage features beautiful backgrounds and scenery. The game slowly goes from luscious forests with enemy creatures to toxic sewers with mutated fish and turrets to a city with robots and lasers.

oprainfall: 4.5 / 5

On a platform that already has dozens of acclaimed platformers, like Celeste, Shovel Knight, and Sonic Mania (I could just go on and on), Shadow Bug is a genuine surprise addition to such esteemed company. It crept up with the makings of a sleeper hit, and it deserves greater recognition. The default control scheme is delightfully intuitive and the level design takes great advantage of it. The lack of story and short length are the only downsides to an overall fun, short-but-sweet escapade. For your next Switch platforming fixation, at the bargain price of $8.99, Shadow Bug is the successor apparent.

PS3Blog.net: 80 / 100

Shadow Bug is a great looking and fun platformer that stands out from the crowd with its "you can't jump in this one" gameplay mechanic. There's plenty to do in this one, and the challenge will increase at a steady pace as you complete the 36 stages in the game. The game is available for only $8.99, so hopefully you can give it a try.
