Within The Light
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Within the Light is a 2d platformer about a shadow that is trying to rescue stars.
- Shadow is a shadow puppet that can only exist if the moon shines enough light.
- Control the moon (and its light) with your mouse movement.
- Move as Shadow through the darkness with the A (left) key and the D (right) key.
- Rescue stars and exit each level with the W key. And jump with SPACE.
Thanks for playing our game!

Nice idea and execution, It was very interresting to engage with both mouse and keyboard. Good design on the levels! I think the jump could be tweaked a little bit, it is hard to gain height, even with double jump, and it feels like gravity gets too much of a boost when falling, because I loose height very quickly.
Good job!
Thank you wildcardjecs! I agree. I’ve heard multiple people say the jump could be better. And the gravity is so fast that you can’t fall and react. Will improve!
I really liked the idea of the game! It was pretty fun to play, but there were some issues. The controls are a bit wonky at times and the fall speed is inconsistent. Other than that the game was well done, and I look forward to play more as you finish up the game.
Thanks Dominic. I appreciate the feedback. Any suggestions on resources where I could improve fall speed in 2d games?

Hopefully this link helps. I've never worked with Godot before so I can't offer much else.
Check to see if the gravity is being changed for whatever reason. The problem is only when I walk off a platform and zip straight down (instead of the nice float down you get when you jump).
Best of luck!
Dominic, I'll take a look. Thanks for the feedback again!
