Enter a world of shadows and light in this minimalist 2D arcade game where precision is everything. You control a glowing item that lights up the darkness, descending floor by floor through an endless vertical maze. Every level you pass earns you a point—but the deeper you go, the more dangerous it gets. Platforms with narrow gaps stack ever higher. Shards fly in unpredictable patterns. Deadly spikes await at the top and bottom edges of your screen. The only way to survive? Stay centered, react fast, and keep descending. Features: • One-touch left/right controls • Dynamic light-based visuals • Addictive score-based progression • Increasing difficulty • Atmospheric sound design How far can you go before the darkness swallows you?
