About the Game

Kagenazo is a 3D shadow puzzle game built around a simple idea: a shape can look completely different depending on where the light is coming from.

Build the Right Shape

Each puzzle gives you a set of target silhouettes. Your goal is to build a cube structure that casts the correct shadows from multiple directions. Add and remove cube blocks, rotate the shape to inspect it, and compare the result against the target patterns until every shadow matches.

Think in Shadows

The rules are easy to read at a glance, but the solutions require spatial thinking. A block that fixes one face may ruin another. A shape that looks right from the front may be wrong from above.

As the puzzles grow from compact 2x2 cubes to larger 3x3 and 4x4 structures, you will need to think in layers, mentally rotate shapes, and find forms that satisfy every view at once.

Over 190 Handcrafted Puzzles

Kagenazo includes over 190 handcrafted puzzles across multiple cube sizes. Early levels introduce the logic of shadow matching step by step, while later puzzles ask for more efficient construction and sharper observation. Larger cubes add extra depth, letting you hide, reveal, and reason through internal layers as you search for the intended solution.

Improve Your Solutions

Every level tracks your performance with a star rating based on how efficiently you solve it and how quickly you finish. You can complete a puzzle through experimentation, then return later to improve your solution with fewer cubes and a better score.

Clean and Focused Puzzle Design

With clean controls, responsive cube interaction, and a quiet visual style focused on light and form, Kagenazo is designed for players who enjoy spatial puzzles, logical deduction, and the satisfaction of seeing a complex shape finally cast the exact shadows you were chasing.
