ShadowCube Get it on Google Play

The floor isn't there. The shadow is.

A calm isometric puzzle game about light. Turn the sun, and every shadow it casts becomes ground you can walk on.

Free. No timers. 200+ levels.

Drag the sun until the shadows reach across.

Starts simple. Ends like this.

Every level is one puzzle on one board, and the way across isn't obvious until it is.

  1. An early level: a zigzag path of soil blocks
  2. A ring of soil blocks around a stone block
  3. Ice pillars casting shadows that form the floor
  4. A long crossing between tall ice pillars
  5. Floating islands with teleport rings
  6. A tall tower with spike traps

What stands between you and the other side

Each idea gets its own stretch of levels before the game asks you to combine them. Nothing is explained with text. The level explains it.

  • Shadows are solid ground

    Move the light and you move the bridge. Where it falls, you can walk.

  • Platforms that move

    They carry you along, but only if you're standing on them when they shift.

  • Blocks that break

    Some blocks hold your weight exactly once. Plan the route before you step.

  • Trams

    They sweep across the board on a rhythm. Read it, then time your crossing.

  • Spikes

    They punch through on a countdown. Be somewhere else when it ends.

  • Hanging columns

    Blocks float above the floor, stacked two and three deep, and their shadows count too.

No timers. No grind.

Standing still to think costs nothing. No clock counts down while you work out the way across.

You progress by solving, not paying. Coins and gems drop from play, and a free chest opens every day.

Levels are short enough for a coffee break, and they hold together if you fall into an hour of them.

Dress the cube

Unlock a cast of characters to run the levels as. They change how you look, never how the puzzle plays.
