Play as the shadow of a young boy and reach the top of the tower.
Weekly Famitsu unveiled Shadow Tower, a new WiiWare title from Hudson Soft. In it, players take control of a young boy's shadow and traverse the 2.5D world by running and jumping on the shadows cast by foreground structures. The ultimate goal of the game is to reach the top of a massive piece of architecture known as the "Shadow Tower."
In the platformer, players will be able to manipulate foreground objects by interacting with their shadows. For example, pulling the shadow of a lever will cause the actual lever to budge, starting a chain reaction that can potentially shift the shadows and open up new paths. The young shadow will also have a butterfly that will help him interact even further with the real world objects.
Along with the Famitsu announcement, Shadow Tower's official website also went live. At the moment it features screenshots.
Famitsu reports that the game is currently 30% done and no release date has been confirmed.
