Reviews

“...smart paced and extremely rewarding.”
4.5/5 – Co-Optimus

“...really amazing and a lot of fun.”
90/100 – Gamers Haven

“Moving light sources around the screen to help the shadow get around is a fantastic idea and sets Shadow Puppeteer apart from the vast majority of platformers on the market which use more basic jump mechanics to engross the player.”
VGChartz
