About Shio
Navigate a mysterious masked man through challenging lantern-to-lantern platforming across four atmospheric chapters filled with environmental hazards and weather-based obstacles. Uncover a cryptic story and hidden secrets while mastering demanding platforming mechanics set to original, chapter-specific music.
Who is the man under the mask? What is he doing in this world? What is he seeking? There are many questions, but only one way to find the answers. To truly understand this world, you must not simply follow the obvious path which lies before you. Try to find hidden rooms and discover this masked man’s past.

- Original side-scrolling platform game:
Jumping from lantern to lantern has never been more challenging. The only enemy in “Shio” is the environment, and it’s out to stop you at any cost. - Meaningful game environments:
The game is divided into four chapters, each with its own mood and weather. Weather greatly affects the challenges that you will face. - All kinds of traps:
You will find many various traps and obstacles along your path. The key is to learn how each one works and to be familiar with them enough to successfully explore the world. - Background music:
What’s a game without music? Music is front and center in “Shio” with original music composed individually for each chapter. - Sad and mysterious story:
The main engine which drives you to continue challenging yourself and overcome obstacles in the world of “Shio” is the story of the masked man. Nobody knowns exactly what happened to him and why he insists on keeping silent.

For most players, “Shio” is a fast pacing and extremely difficult platformer, but this is much more features in this game.
Work on “Shio” started when its creator , Liao Yi, was on university, in the spare time between study and homework, creator finished his “Shio’s” prototype and game was able to be showcased on 2014 IGF China (Independent Game Festival) Student Group.
On IGF China “Shio” met Coconut Island Games and its team: Deng Bu Ran (program), Ge Xuanqing (level design), Cai Baowei (level design), Li Lingyi (level design) and others. Original prototype of the game was polished into a beautiful and challenging platformer game.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Shio is a precision platformer praised for its beautiful art style, atmospheric soundtrack, and clever lantern-based movement mechanics that create engaging challenges requiring timing and practice. Players appreciate the intriguing fragmented narrative and satisfying level design, though some note the relatively limited moveset and occasional technical issues. Most reviewers find it worthwhile, particularly on sale, especially for those seeking a moderately challenging platformer with collectibles that extend playtime beyond the core campaign.
Shio is a precision platformer that takes a relatively simple movement concept and develops it into a demanding journey built around timing, momentum, and persistence. Developed by Coconut Island Studio and published by Coconut Island Games, it puts players in control of a mysterious masked character traveling through a beautiful but dangerous world. Rather than relying on combat or complicated abilities, the game concentrates heavily on movement, making every successful sequence of jumps feel like a small victory earned through practice. The most distinctive element is its lantern-based platforming. Lanterns scattered throughout the stages allow the protagonist to gain additional height and momentum while airborne, essentially turning them into stepping stones suspended in dangerous spaces. Early encounters introduce the mechanic gently enough, but the level design soon expects players to chain several lantern interactions together while simultaneously avoiding environmental hazards. Timing a jump slightly too early or approaching a lantern from the wrong position can ruin an entire sequence, so learning how movement behaves is essential. This creates a satisfying rhythm once th…
it was better than i expected, kind of a chill side scroller, i played it on easy mode shallow dream. the beautiful artwork at the end was lovely wish i could get it
Just a really good platformer with beautiful landscape and soundtracks.
Итак, это инди-платформер с закосом на сложность от китайских разработчиков Плюсы: 1. Дизайн уровней, рисовка в целом 2. Музыка довольно простая, но приятная 3. История, которую нужно собирать по кусочкам чтобы к концу игры появилась полная картина происходящего 4. Вышеупомянутая сложность, не совсем мега-хардкор жесть ужос, но некоторые уровни (особенно последний мир) дают некоторый челлендж (имхо была бы игра без чекпоинтов посередине долгих уровней в принципе, вот это было бы сложно) Минусы: 1. Некоторые мелкие визуальные баги, капля технических багов на паре уровней, но то что пишут другие рецензенты вероятно касалось ранних версий, по крайней мере на версии 1.2.3 ничего критичного я не обнаружил 2. Немного скудный арсенал героя, есть лампа и прыжки с помощью нее, было интересно увидеть какие-то другие предметы, но их нет В целом свою цену игра стоит, для ру сегмента 330 рублей это недорого, по скидке вообще за копейки можно получить удовольствие Итого 8/10
Shio is a delightful game which is deceptively simple in its controls. The story is intriguing, the art style is beautiful and I love this game
Quite challenging, even for skilled platform players. Not that long, but the collectables and secrets will extend your playtime, if that's your jam. Otherwise, an interesting narrative keeps things lively. For the price, especially on sale, totally worth it.
