Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet: A Mix of Puzzle and Action Genres
Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet is an action-packed game created by Shadow Planet Productions and licensed as a full version game for Windows. The game is a combination of 2D shooter and puzzle genres, available on Steam. The game's story takes place on a distant planet, and players explore the game world, similar to the games of the Metroidvania series. The game features a soundtrack, which is available as part of the HumbleBundle pack and was developed separately.
The game offers players a chance to solve two-dimensional puzzles that are mixed with active segments of gameplay. Players can upgrade their ship using extraterrestrial technology while completing the main task of saving their home planet from destruction. Although the story of the game is rather short, players can enjoy the game's modes that support up to four players. However, basic co-op mode is not available, requiring an online subscription to play on the console. The game was styled by the famous artist Michel Gagné, and it took four years to build the first demo version for the Penny Arcade Expo.
