There's no doubt Cyber Shadow is inspired by platforming games of the past, but there's a couple in particular that creator Aarne “MekaSkull” Hunziker wanted to point out. In an interview with NintendoEnthusiast, Hunziker goes into detail on how two NES classics paved the way for Cyber Shadow.

“Shadow of the Ninja and Shatterhand both have a pleasant pace to the gameplay where you might take a moment to think about the pattern of moving and stationary hazards combined. On top of this, Shatterhand is a very late NES game and really shows how far you can go with the limited palettes to achieve really intricate and detailed levels.”
