Indie Ranger
By Ali AbdullahEvery stage features beautiful backgrounds and scenery. The game slowly goes from luscious forests with enemy creatures to toxic sewers with mutated fish and turrets to a city with robots and lasers.

By TraceyShadow Bug is a great looking and fun platformer that stands out from the crowd with its "you can't jump in this one" gameplay mechanic. There's plenty to do in this one, and the challenge will increase at a steady pace as you complete the 36 stages in the game. The game is available for only $8.99, so hopefully you can give it a try.

ByShadow Bug is a clever platformer that delivers in providing a short and exhilarating experience. While the controls may never feel just right, at its price point, Shadow Bug is a title that anyone who likes playing fun games should enjoy.

By Peter GlagowskiShadow Bug is a unique platformer with some interesting ideas, but one that doesn't always stick the landing.
oprainfall
By Alex IrishOn a platform that already has dozens of acclaimed platformers, like Celeste, Shovel Knight, and Sonic Mania (I could just go on and on), Shadow Bug is a genuine surprise addition to such esteemed company. It crept up with the makings of a sleeper hit, and it deserves greater recognition. The default control scheme is delightfully intuitive and the level design takes great advantage of it. The lack of story and short length are the only downsides to an overall fun, short-but-sweet escapade. For your next Switch platforming fixation, at the bargain price of $8.99, Shadow Bug is the successor apparent.
