[list][*][b][h1]Morlan's shorts:[/h1][/b][/list] A fun little kind-of platformer but not strictly in that category. More of a fluid large screen action game. Each level scrolls in various directions and it can be disorienting to find the way and the exit, but not a problem most of the times. Movement is smooth, good control, cute and dark graphics, engaging music. The levels are quite varied and well designed (although the hidden bits can be a bit annoying to locate and reach). Most of them are fairly straight forward, ranging from easy to "let's try harder"and there are a couple.. eh.. could be less infuriating. Short game, can be finished in a few hours, less than 5. Best to.. sale it out but worth a few coins.. [b]Don't waste more time reading lengthy reviews.. time is of the essence![/b]

Shadow Bug is a fun fast game 2D. You are a small insect/bug with a little friend flyer (mouse you use to click) in PC version. Investigate and protect your forest against from enemy factory. One unique mechanic where you only moves with "Left and Right + Mouse (to attack/dash)" Into enemy. That's right, no jump and crouch buttons. The only way to get off of the ground is to "select/click on" an enemy or object in your screen to dash into it. (Even through walls.) The story maybe takes 2-4 hours in average or maybe less. (Because of all the scores) There is Points, time attack and secrets to collect. (Depend if you want to replay the chapter/map) Each chapter/map has own scores and there is plenty of them. Each takes maybe 1-3min in average.

Despite being a port of a mobile game, this gets surprisingly challenging and creative in its later levels. I would've liked this more if it had a bit more personality. The music is very generic and graphics and animations feel floaty, something expected from a mobile game. Nevertheless, it presents a unique spin on platforming mechanics and the devs have done a good job exploring it in this game. Although completing the final two levels was satisfying and I would have liked more of the game to be like them, the sudden difficulty spike felt really out of place. Regardless, it can be 100%'ed in a fairly short time.
