Shadow Bug Video Game Series

Arcade 05 October 2016

A sequel to Shadow Bug, a mobile arcade game by Muro Studios. In Shadow Bug Rush you play as a ninja worm, who makes his way through dangerous level. Like in classic platform games, you explore 2D locations, fight enemies and avoid traps. The controls are noteworthy, sine you hold you device horizontally and determine where the protagonist is going by touching the screen with your finger. To attack an enemy, you have to click on them. The levels have been developed in such a way so that you can avoid touching the ground completely — the protagonist can jump from enemy to enemy. The maps are randomly generated and they never end, making beating records the main objective in the game. Your final score is calculated based on the distance you travel, combos, and gathered treasures. The game also features interesting visuals — the foreground shapes are completely black, while the backgrounds are colorful and detailed.

A mobile platform game from an independent Finish studio Muro, which evolved from a simple but successful project initiated by a few Alto University students. In Shadow Bug, we assume the role of a militant worm armed with two swords. The protagonist's job is to clear the forest of the hostile bugs and other opponents. During the gameplay, we traverse successive levels, in which we meet a whole bunch of different enemies and a large number of traps, which often require some cleverness. The hero can move left or right only, sometimes pushing static objects, but he has a spectacular way of dealing with opponents – his style of fighting is reminiscent of a ninja fighter. After finishing each stage, we receive a rating in form of stars, whose number depends on, among others, the time elapsed and the number of gathered gleaming balls. Shadow Bug has a characteristic graphic layer – only the backgrounds are colored, while the whole foreground, along with the hero and his enemies, is presented in black.
