Hey comrades, Let us introduce Shadowmatic. It's a meditative 3D puzzle game of finding shapes hidden in shadows. The player rotates seemingly abstract three-dimensional objects in spotlight, making their shadows form familiar silhouettes relevant to the surrounding environment Check out this gameplay preview and let us know what you think! Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel Game features: * Over 70 unique levels * 9 distinct environments * Photorealistic real-time 3D graphics * Non-linear level progression * Intuitive and responsive multi-touch controls * Tilt-enabled 3D parallax view In this project we're focused on delivering immersively photorealistic graphics across iOS devices, combined with gameplay that’s stimulating, challenging, and relaxing at the same time. The player experiences 9 distinct environments, with a unique soundtrack for each. Currently the game is in the final development phase and the release is planned on the beginning of March 2014. We are Triada Studio Games, a new division of Triada Studio (Yerevan, Armenia), which is a computer animation studio with over 20 years of history. Shadowmatic is the company’s first attempt to combine its vast computer graphics experience with an experimental in-house 3D engine. Find us on: Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest.

This reminds me of Blueprint 3D in stye which is one of the best concepts i've seen, and now the shadow play... Fantastic idea here devs. Looking forward to this!
Looks really cool, but I'm a bit confused as to how one is supposed to know what shadow they are trying to make.
There will be a hint system in the game, that will help player to guess the silhouettes. Also the environment will help too.
Anyone impatiently waiting for this game should check out this older game from NEXUS, it's pretty sweet, but hasn't received updates for 2 years, and it's pretty low res. but it's really fun.

Hello , Thank you for having signed up for Shadowmatic updates! We want to give you an update on where things stand with the game. As it turned out, polishing a game to a degree of quality we’d feel happy about takes a long time. Coupled with our rigorous attention to detail, this has impacted the release date we had initially estimated. Making Shadowmatic a very special game with zero compromises is something we are deeply invested in. It is an idea that’s more important to us than meeting a release deadline. That being said, we can’t wait to release our first game out in the wild, and we hope to be able to announce the exact date of Shadowmatic’s release on the AppStore very soon. Since publishing Shadowmatic’s gameplay preview we have been overwhelmed by the amount of positive feedback. It inspires us and gives us the confidence that we are on the right track. Some people have expressed concerns that the puzzles might be too challenging to solve. Even though we don't find the game to be unreasonably difficult, we have decided to develop and preview a system of hints that the players can resort to when stuck. We want to stress though, that using hints to solve any of the puzzles should not be necessary, and we hope that they won't be used too often, if at all. This update brings you a preview of how hints work in Shadowmatic by demonstrating a sample level from the game. You can notice the various strange silhouettes the player attempts to project during his quest for the only correct solution.

The first two are short sentences giving the object some descriptive context; the third one reveals the title of the level. In case these are not enough, the player can use the final hint and see an image of the shadow he’s looking for. Hints are unlocked by using "hintpoints", of which the player is initially granted a few dozen. Number of player’s hintpoints increases daily. Extra hintpoints are earned by completing levels.

original looking gameplay reminds me of various artists who use shadows to create their installations; Tim Noble and Sue Webster; Diet Wiegman; and Kumi Yamashita; Looking good.
