Shadefoot: Shadow Thief Puzzle

You can only walk in the shadows.

Shadefoot is a turn-based stealth puzzle. A small hooded thief has one rule: never step into the light. Pillars, rocks and crates cast shadows across the courtyard, and those patches of shade are the only safe ground. Reach the glowing gem without being seen.

THE SUN NEVER STOPS MOVING
Every few steps the sun swings across the sky and every shadow swings with it. The safe path you see now will be gone in three moves. Hold the sun dial to see where the shade will fall next, then plan your route before the light catches you.

PUSH, BLOCK AND OUTWIT
• Push crates like a box puzzle and carry their shadow with you
• Drop crates into pits to open a new path
• At night, lanterns shine straight beams across the yard. Block them with crates, or step on pressure plates to put them out
• Red and blue lanterns, long low-sun shadows at dusk, and finales that use everything at once

60 HANDCRAFTED LEVELS, EVERY ONE PROVEN
Five chapters: Garden, Sundial, Night Court, Dawn and Dusk. Every level is checked by a solver, so each par is the true fewest moves. Match par for three stars.

★ EARN STARS, UNLOCK 8 DISGUISES
Your stars dress your thief. Collect them to unlock 8 disguises, from the Ninja and the Mage to the Knight, the Barbarian and, for the truly perfect, the Golden Thief. Try any of them on, then wear your favourite through every heist.

PLAY YOUR WAY
• Unlimited undo and restart: experiment freely
• A hint that shows the next best move, whenever you want it
• A live star meter shows the stars you can still earn
• Swipe to move, tap a tile to walk straight there, or play with a gamepad
• Calm, cosy low-poly worlds with real moving sunlight
• Plays offline. No ads. No in-app purchases. No account.

If you love logic puzzles, box-pushing puzzles and thief or heist games, Shadefoot is a clever little brain game to slip into for a few minutes or an evening.
