Shadow Bug is a platformer in which you can't jump. Instead you tap and hold on the left or right of the screen to move, and when you see an enemy, you tap on them to do a lightning fast jump and slash move that propels you through the air.

It's got a great look to it too, something you'll see when you press play on the video above.

Shadow Bug comes to mobile telephones in the very near future, stick with Pocket Gamer for further coverage.
