Prince of Darkness Jr. is a strategy title developed by Pond Area. It’s a block-pushing puzzle game with a charmingly gothic, doodle art style. Your goal is to guide the prince in making it through the castle without touching the light beams by pushing boxes to manipulate shadows.

Stick to the shadows to survive

Prince of Darkness Jr. is a logically challenging game that requires spatial awareness. It emphasizes light and shadow mechanics, and you’ll have to push boxes, open doors, and smash windows to create shadows that you can pass through safely. It’s game over once the young prince touches the light.

It has over 200 levels that test your wits, and the difficulty scales smoothly, since early levels have easy puzzles, and as you go on, the puzzles become tougher to solve. The visuals are minimalistic, making it easy on the eyes to read the room and plan your steps.

A new twist on a classic genre

Overall, Prince of Darkness Jr. is an innovative title that brings in a fresh concept to the block-pushing puzzle genre. The light and shadow mechanics definitely twist things up and bring in a new challenge for you to dive into.
