Cast - Shadow Brain Puzzle

Cast is a relaxing brain puzzle you can play offline. Turn a cloud of dust in a beam of light with one finger, and at exactly one angle its shadow on the wall settles into something you know: a fish, an umbrella, a teapot.

No timer, no lives, no losing. Cast never rushes you; it is a calm game of light, dust and a little patience.

How it plays
• Turn the dust and watch the shadow above it.
• Each mote glows softly as it approaches its spot, so you can always tell whether you are getting closer.
• The scene starts in a deep, cool blue and warms to amber as the shadow comes into focus.
• After the first few puzzles, if one takes a while, a faint outline of the figure appears on its own.

The Shadow Notebook
When a shape settles into place, it appears with its name and goes into your Shadow Notebook. The ones you have not found yet wait there as faint outlines. Open the notebook any time to return to a figure you liked.

Sound
A soft room tone sits underneath, and a warm chord fills in as you near the right angle. One tap on the game screen turns the sound off, and the game is just as playable in silence.

At a glance
• Plays offline: on a plane, on the subway, wherever there is no signal.
• One hand, one finger.
• A shadow takes about 20 to 40 seconds.

A short break while you wait in line, a pause when you want to unwind or need a little stress relief, a quiet moment to take a breath at the end of the day.

Cast contains ads. A full-screen ad appears every few puzzles. You can also choose to watch an ad to see which way to turn; the turning is still yours.
