Shadow Walk: Outrun the Light

A wooden puppet who fears the stage light walks on the shadows it throws. Wait, and they settle under him. Run, and they slide away. 30 scenes, and a new one every day.

Walk on shadows. Mind the light.

Pip is a little wooden puppet who has never dared to step into the spotlight. Tonight, in an old toy theatre, he has to cross the stage anyway. Toy blocks stand on a table in front of a wall, and an old follow-spot slides after Pip from the pit. The blocks' shadows on the wall are the only floor he has, and they move whenever the light moves.

HOW TO PLAY • Hold the left half of the screen to run; slide your thumb across the line to turn • Touch the right half to jump, and hold it to jump higher • The light follows Pip, but slower than he runs: stand still and the shadows settle under him, dash and they slide away • Reach the door, and take the three sparks for the stars

30 SCENES IN THREE ACTS Act I, The Rehearsal: alphabet blocks on a warm little stage. Act II, Ghost Lights: long scenes, where the lamps left on for the ghosts keep Pip's place if he falls. Act III, Opening Night: the toys gather in the dark hall for the longest scenes of all. And at the very end, a curtain call.

A NEW SCENE EVERY DAY Once Act I is played, a daily scene opens: one room a day, the same for everyone, gentle on Monday and hardest on Sunday. Keep your streak going and share your sparks.

A STAGE OF OUR OWN Pip, the toys and the whole theatre are our own, with a waltz for each act and a soft knock in your hand every time his wooden feet land. No ads, no timers and no purchases. Play offline, anywhere.
