Shadow Play

The game

A chaotic assemblage of little spheres crouches on the turntable between the lamp and a warm plaster wall. Turn it, and raise or lower the lamp, until the ink-black shadow it throws fills the pencil outline exactly — a rabbit, a bird, a castle, and five more shapes in the troupe. Every puzzle is generated solvable by construction and climb-checked, so the right angle is always findable; get the match high enough and the shadow snaps flush with a soft fanfare. Lamp-lit plaster, practical glow and penumbra-soft shadows give it the feel of a puppet theatre after hours.

How to play

• Drag anywhere on the scene to spin the turntable and rotate the scribble.
• Grab the glowing lamp handle and drag it up or down its rod to change the light's height — the shadow stretches and shifts as the lamp moves.
• Arrow keys nudge the same two dials: ← → rotate, ↑ ↓ move the lamp.
• Watch the MATCH percentage at the top; above ~72% the readout glows gold, and when it clears the puzzle's threshold the shadow locks into a perfect match.
• H toggles a red hint overlay of the target silhouette; P (or the top-right button) pauses.
• Clear all eight shapes — Rabbit, Bird, Castle, Fish, Cat, Tree, Sailboat, Key — to bring down the curtains.
