Description

Build one structure. Match three shadows.

Kagenazo is a 3D spatial puzzle game where players construct shapes from cube blocks to match target silhouettes projected onto two walls and the floor.

Place and remove blocks, rotate the structure, and observe how each change affects its shadows. A block that fixes one silhouette may disrupt another, so every puzzle requires a single shape that satisfies all three projections at once.

Gameplay Overview

Each level presents a set of target shadows created by lights shining from three different directions.

Players build a structure inside a three-dimensional grid and rotate it freely to inspect it from different angles. The goal is to recreate every target silhouette while considering overlapping blocks, hidden spaces, and the internal layers of the structure.

The game begins with compact 2×2×2 puzzles that introduce the mechanics step by step. Later levels expand into 3×3×3 and 4×4×4 grids, requiring stronger spatial reasoning, mental rotation, and careful planning.

Features

💡 Match Three Shadows

Build one three-dimensional structure that matches the target silhouettes projected onto two walls and the floor.

🧊 Three Puzzle Sizes

Progress through 2×2×2, 3×3×3, and 4×4×4 grids, with each size introducing additional depth and complexity.

🧩 Over 190 Handcrafted Puzzles

Solve more than 190 individually designed levels that gradually introduce new spatial challenges and relationships between light and form.

🔄 Build, Rotate, and Inspect

Place and remove cube blocks, rotate the structure freely, and observe the shadows changing in real time.

🧠 Think in Layers

Larger puzzles require players to consider overlapping blocks, hidden cubes, internal layers, and how the structure appears from multiple directions.

⭐ Improve Your Solutions

Each level awards a star rating based on completion time and construction efficiency. Return to previous puzzles to solve them faster or with fewer blocks.

📖 Gradual Learning Curve

Early levels provide visual guidance to explain how blocks affect each projection. This assistance is gradually removed as the puzzles become more challenging.
