Shadow Ball is a fascinating infinite arcade game.The game uses accelerometer to move the player(ball).The mission of the game is to collect as many gems as possible while dodging the meteor shower from above.The gem has to be collected before it catches fire and explodes, as you will die along with it if it explodes.Observe the shadows on the ground to predict the impact point of the meteors falling from above and successfully evade them.Its a battle of wits and attrition.

The game uses state of the art, accelerometer based control which adopts the initial tilt each game and then senses tilt relative to it for seamless gaming experience.The user can play the game in any position comfortably unlike other games where the user has to always keep the mobile plane horizontal.
The game is powered by the all powerful Unity engine to provide the most enhanced,smooth and immersive gaming experience.
