About

Shadow Duel

Features
Read full description

Your hands cast the shadow. The shadow comes alive. Shadow Duel turns the old art of hand shadow puppets into a game. Hold your hands up to your iPhone's front camera and your shadow appears on the wall of a cosy lamp-lit room. Shape it to fit the outline before the clock runs out, and watch your rabbit, fox or tiger leap off the wall as a real 3D animal. A NEW SHADOW EVERY DAY Each day brings a new shadow to master. Match it, score up to 100 and keep your streak burning. COLLECT 58 CREATURES Fill your Zoo with wild cats, dinosaurs, sea life, birds and more. Some need one hand, some need two, and some will tie your fingers in knots. Tap any creature to hear its call. COACHING AS YOU PLAY Live tips show you what to change, like "wrists together" or "curl every finger like a claw", so you get better with every try. SHARE YOUR BEST SHADOW Turn your best moment into a short clip of your creature and send it to friends. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • The camera is used only during a round, and the video never leaves your iPhone. It's never saved, recorded or shown. • No accounts, no sign-up, no ads, no tracking. • Works offline. Great for all ages: play alone, or pass the phone around and see who casts the best shadow. Tip: play in good light, about an arm's length from the camera.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Shadow Duel at none against Babytopia's 10. Shadow Duel also leads on ads (none vs shown). Babytopia's advantage is chart position (#164 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
