More about this game
In Light On, Light Off, your goal is to survive as long as possible in the dark. You control a small night-light and must dodge the Moon, which chases you when the light is off. The core loop involves toggling the switch to the dark mode to start the timer and moving continuously to avoid capture. The difficulty increases as the Moon's speed ramps up the longer you stay in the dark. A run ends immediately when the Moon catches your night-light.
Tips
- The Moon's base speed is 250, but it increases by 8 units every second you stay in the dark, capping after twenty two seconds.
- Use the safe light mode to reposition your night-light to the far edges of the screen before switching back to dark mode to continue your current run.
- The capture radius includes an extra eighteen pixels of padding, so do not let the Moon get too close or your run will end instantly.
Questions

The timer starts when you flip the switch to dark mode. You must survive in the dark to increase your time, and the timer pauses if you switch back to light mode.
Why does the Moon get faster?
The Moon's speed increases the longer you stay in the dark, making it harder to dodge over time. Its speed caps at an additional one hundred eighty units after twenty two seconds.
Can I pause the game?
Yes, you can flip the switch back to light mode to enter a safe state. The Moon stops chasing you and slowly returns to the center of the screen, letting you rest.
