Avoid harmful rays of light and hide in the shadows as you venture towards the comfort of complete darkness in this action/puzzle game!
Made for Weekly Game Jam #144 (Theme - In The Dark)

EDIT: Developed this on my gaming PC but didn't check on my laptop until after the jam. Noticing a very low framerate, most likely due to the 2D lighting system. Apologies for that!
Also have an issue triggering the proper audio effect for pushing and pulling a crate.

hey. flawless game play. All your games have an interesting take on mechanics as well
Thanks for the compliment! It means a lot to me :)
Great idea! It’s like a stealth game but when someone sees you, you die immediately (but they don’t mind moving boxes :-P).
Though I had to stop playing at the level with the huge box, because the character got stuck in the 1x1 wall on the right for some reason (probably because I had low FPS). It would be good if the restart button always worked, not only when you die.
Thanks TheoR! And yeah, you are kinda right about that lol.
Apologies about the soft lock and the low FPS. Didn't consider how my collision detection would under those circumstances. Thanks for letting me know, I just updated the build with restart working during play.
I will say that that is the final level and there isn't much of an ending, so you didn't miss much!
It’s awesome that you reacted so quickly! And no problem, I figured it was one of the last levels.
I'm delighted to let you know you were featured once again, this time you took the #8 spot for the entire week!! Great job! Also, do you have a twitter? I'd love to shout it out!
Much appreciated! Honored to have made the top 10!
