  As a huge fan of puzzle games, Shadowmatic is one of the best you can grab so far this year. I am in love with the pragmatic visuals, the exclusive environments, ambient tunes, and simple controls. The progress bar works well in telling me if I’m close to solving it, though at times it just feels like I’m randomly spinning it around to light up the dots. Still, this is a puzzle game that is worth checking out this weekend if you want something special and relaxing.

  If anything, this game is easy on the eyes. The concept screams for nice graphics, and Shadowmatic boldly delivers. The shadows and animations look authentic, and the responsiveness of the controls is simply excellent. All in all, Shadowmatic is a fun diversion. It’s simple and tough at the same time, and can be enjoyed across generations.

  Although I’m trying to avoid too many comparisons to Zen Bound, Shadowmatic has taken another similar approach to adding value to its simple gameplay concept. The alluring, chill out gameplay is bolstered by beautiful, photorealistic graphics and a perfectly complementary ambient soundtrack.

  Simple to the point of beauty, and beautiful to the point of becoming a work of art, this is a game you won't want to win, because you won't want the experience to end.

  Ya sea en un garaje, en una cueva o en el cuarto de juegos de un niño, conseguir las sombras de los objetos, juguetes, animales y piezas que encierran los puzles y formas de Shadowmatic, es un placer. Estamos ante una aplicación distinta que sabe aprovechar la naturaleza táctil y diferente de una plataforma como iOS, ofreciendo una experiencia absorbente, imaginativa y cautivadora que cualquier usuario de iPhone o iPad debería, al menos, probar.

  Qu'on le déguste à petite dose ou qu'on le dévore d'un coup, avec son gameplay enfantin et sa douce réalisation, Shadowmatic nous invite avant tout à profiter d'un agréable moment de calme. Le titre est apaisant, et parvient sans mal à nous ramener en enfance, à une époque où de simples ombres sur un mur suffisaient pour se distraire.
