Shadow - A Dark Platformer: Where Light is Your Enemy

Shadow - A Dark Platformer flips traditional scoring on its head. In this minimalist yet challenging game, success is measured by how low you can keep your score. Navigate a mysterious, dark environment by using the arrow keys—left and right to move, up to jump—with the singular objective of avoiding all sources of light. Embracing the shadows is your only path to victory.

A Passion Project with Polished Details

This game is a testament to solo development. Every visual element is original artwork from the creator, establishing a cohesive and eerie atmosphere. The haunting background music, "Throw Down" by PaulRHJT, complements the visuals perfectly and is noted as a free resource for the Scratch community. From a technical standpoint, the game is largely built from scratch, with 95% of the code written independently, demonstrating significant coding proficiency.
