Shiny is an innovative exploration and puzzle-platformer video game developed by Garage227. The game takes place in a vibrant world full of color, beauty and danger where the player takes control of Shiny - a gravity-defying orb with the help of which they can explore their surroundings, solve puzzles, battle enemies and much more.

Gameplay in Shiny consists of navigating each stage by jumping across platforms and platforms segments that move around according to momentum. Additionally, players can also switch between different elements such as water, fire, air and earth to progress further through levels by using each element’s unique abilities.

Shiny also features a unique co-op mode allowing two players to take on the same level together with one controlling Shiny while the other operates various devices like switches or mechanical arms moving obstacles or aiding Shiny in combat. Additionally, there are plenty of secrets scattered throughout the stages giving players extra challenge rewards if they manage to decipher them. With its vibrant visuals, challenging puzzles and innovative gameplay - Shiny is sure to provide hours worth of entertainment for those who want something more than just a regular platformer!
