About
Shadow of the Beast is a 1989 side-scrolling platform game developed by Reflections and published by Psygnosis for the Commodore Amiga, notable for its graphics and up to twelve levels of parallax scrolling backdrops. shadow-of-the-beast-html5 is a browser-based remake built with HTML5 and the PixiJS library that recreates the feel of the original Amiga demo-scroller, playable directly via a hosted web demo.
How it differs from the original
It's a from-scratch recreation of the original's visual and mechanical style using HTML5 and PixiJS, not a port using any of the original Amiga game's code or assets.
Getting started
It's playable directly in a web browser at the project's hosted demo link, with no installation needed.
