Inspired by “shmups” and shadows, Shmadow is a modern twin-stick side-scroller that nods to retro arcade gameplay. Use your light to blast through your enemies, unlock new powers, and defeat bosses before the darkness extinguishes you.

The line is the share positive of all reviews posted in the 3 months to each month, drawn where at least 20 reviews stand behind it. The verdict compares the last three finished months with the twelve before them, and calls a direction only when the change is at least 3 points and bigger than chance would give. How we count
