About

This game was made for the Mini Jam 150: Magic game jam. The theme was, "Light is the way," and I incorporated it by having illuminated bullets show up during impossible to pass patterns, which allow the player to safely pass through.

All assets were made by me except for the music. I used 3 tracks from the Neon God album by Dark Fantasy Studio (royalty free use with purchase).

You can watch some of the development process on Twitch or YouTube.

Update

The original html file is still available, and the desktop downloads will stay the original version until after the game jam voting period has ended; however, I did "update" this version to fix 3 very small things.

• High score saves are persistent across runs (but not page reloads).
• The mini boss won't move when spawning "impossible" rings with light safe areas.
• The barrels for the main boss fight will spawn at angles that won't make them just bounce left and right, which the player almost can't grab.
