Bayangan Bima

About this game

Bayangan Bima (Bima’s Shadow) is a puzzle platformer about Bima, a young man in a golden headband who can record his own shadow. Press one button, move for up to 6 seconds, and Bima returns to the starting point while his shadow repeats every move.

Use the shadow to hold pressure plates so doors open, raise bridges over spikes, or stand still as a platform to reach high ledges. Explore 12 levels in the Ancient Temple, Night Garden, and Shadow Palace, avoid patrolling ghosts, and conquer the pitch-dark final level of each world.

What this game trains

Bayangan Bima trains cause-and-effect thinking and planning a sequence. You record your moves for up to 6 seconds, then your shadow repeats them exactly while you move freely. Every puzzle asks the same question: where must the shadow stand so Bima can get through? Players learn to answer that before they start recording.

Temple, garden, and palace

There are 12 levels across three worlds: Ancient Temple, Night Garden, and Shadow Palace. The shadow can hold down pressure plates, open stone doors of the same colour, raise wooden bridges over spiked pits, or act as a step to reach high ledges. There is only one shadow at a time; recording again erases the old one. In dark levels the shadow is also a second light source.

Habits of winning players

• Keep recordings short; press Shadow again as soon as you reach the spot.
• Start recording somewhere safe, because Bima returns to the recording's starting point.
• Make sure the shadow is resting on the plate before you cross a bridge.

Controls

• Keyboard: ← → / A D move, Space / Z / ↑ jump, X / Shift start & stop recording the shadow, Esc / P pause.
