Critic Reviews
Shadow Bug Review
With a fast-paced approach to platforming, and a gimmick that allows for unique movement without running thin, Shadow Bug establishes itself as one of the more creative approaches to the genre. Touching enemies to gain verticality and traverse across the stage is a genuinely inspired workaround to conventional jumping, and the level design, thankfully, takes full advantage of the mechanic. A gyroscopic approach is available for anyone who wants to play with the Joy-Con, but it unfortunately pales in comparison to the touch method in terms of fluidity. Likewise, there are some rather inconsistent dips and rises with the level design, but, for the most part, Shadow Bug remains a highly enjoyable, if a bit short, platformer from start to finish.
