Shade Squad game iconShade Squad

Chase the shadow. Save the sunbathers.

A beach umbrella casting a shadow over sunbathers on the sand at midday
Shade for everyone. Sunscreen for no one.

About Shade Squad

It is beach day and the sun is out to get everyone. You slide a big umbrella so its shadow covers the family, but the sun keeps moving across the sky and the shadow drifts away from the pole. Keep every burn bar out of the red until sunset. Shade Squad is a sunny little puzzle about angles.

Each level has more people and a longer day. Clouds and gusts show up from level 3, and from level 4 people start wandering around. Level 5 is Heat Wave, where sunburn builds the fastest. You can drag straight to where you want the shadow. Tip: early and late in the day the shadow lands far from the umbrella, so lead it.

How to play

Move the umbrella so its shadow covers everyone until sunset.

Controls

Left/right, or drag where you want the shadow. Works with keyboard, mouse and touch.

Tip

Prioritize whoever's burn bar is closest to red, then sweep back to the others.

Levels

Five handcrafted levels, each adding something new, with a boss on level 5. Earn up to three stars per level, then keep going in endless mode.

About Quarter Alley

Quarter Alley is a late-night neon arcade tucked behind a brick alley. Every cabinet holds a small, silly, original game: chase a goose, stack pancakes, catch toast, sneak out of the office at 4:59. Most games have five handcrafted levels with a boss, then an endless mode. Earn tickets, trade them at the Prize Counter, and put your initials on the high-score tables.

How do I play?

Tap a cabinet (or click it) to drop a quarter in. Each game shows its controls before you start. Keyboard, mouse and touch all work.

Is it free?
