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

I've decided to go all in on adding a few shaders and a 3d background which doesn't function well with WebGL (but working on it!), so I've moved to just a downloadable game for the moment. 

I'm using a self-built version of Godot 4.3 (dev) since it's not released yet, so I haven't had a chance to create extra build targets for macOS and Linux just yet, but will be done in time! If there's one thing I'll stick to, it's ensuring all my games eventually can run on every platform!
