3D building puzzle

SCHATTEN

“Build the sculpture. Turn the light. Every shadow must fit.”

In a small room you can turn, you build a sculpture out of cubes, ramps and wedges. Three lamps throw its shadows: from the front on the back wall, from the side on the left wall, from above on the floor. Above the room, a panel for each shadow shows what it should look like. The level is solved only when every shadow fits exactly.

The trailer shows real levels, solved by the game’s own rules, and the game’s own music.

How it works

Build, turn, match the shadows

  1. Build

    Tap a floor tile or the side of a cube and a new piece stands there. A tap turns a ramp or a wedge, a long press takes a piece away.

  2. Turn

    Swipe across the room or use the arrows to turn it a quarter at a time and see what stands at the back.

  3. Match the shadows

    The panels show what fits: grey is still missing, green fits, red is too much. Match every shadow with the fewest pieces for three stars.
