More about this game
Your goal is to survive a 75-second round while dodging shadow blobs. You start with three hearts and must stay inside the moving safe light to avoid taking damage from the shadows. Every 15 seconds, the shadow blobs change their movement pattern, becoming more aggressive and shifting their angles. Collect glow tokens to increase your score. The run ends in victory if you survive the full 75 seconds, or in defeat if you lose all three hearts.
Tips
- When the safe light flashes and disappears, you have a brief moment to reach the new safe zone before taking damage.
- If you get hit, you receive 1.25 seconds of invulnerability. Use this grace period to sprint straight to the safe light.
- Shadows change behavior every 15 seconds. In later patterns, they will actively lunge at you if you get too close.
Questions
How do I heal my hearts?
You cannot heal lost hearts during a round. You start with exactly three hearts, and you must manage them carefully to survive the full 75-second timer without running out.
Why did the shadows suddenly speed up?
Every 15 seconds, the shadow pattern changes. As the patterns progress, the shadows gain new behaviors, including a lunge mechanic that triggers when you get within range.
What happens when the safe light moves?
A dashed outline shows where the safe light is currently active. When its timer runs out, a new safe zone appears elsewhere, and you must run to it quickly.
