Smudge: Light & Shadow Puzzle

Move the light. Shape the shadow.

Smudge is a light and shadow logic puzzle: drag the lamp, bend the shadows and lead Smudge, a little drop of living ink, home through the dark.

Coming soon to Google Play and the App Store

The story

Every night someone switches on one more light, and Smudge can only move through shadow. Each level asks one question: where should the lamp go?

How to play

  1. 1

    Drag the lamp

    Slide it along its rail. Every shadow moves live as you drag.

  2. 2

    Press GO

    Smudge walks only on shadow. One patch of light and he goes poof.

  3. 3

    Nudge and retry

    Missed by a little? The game shows you where the gap was. No lives, no timers.

Highlights

🧩

Handcrafted brain teasers

Every level is designed by hand and checked by a solver, so each puzzle has a real solution.

🪞

Mirrors and twin lamps

Mirrors bounce the light and their backs cast shadows. Two lamps at once: find the spot that stays dark for both.

🔆

Photocells and gates

Brass photocells open gates when they see light, or when you hide them in shade.

📏

Objects with height

Low things cast short shadows, and the lamp’s distance changes their length.
