About this game

Solve, shoot, and shine your way though the kingdom of Luminara! Light has scattered across the kingdom, leaving darkness and apathy in between. It's up to you to restore the four pillars of light and reawaken the Gate of Truth.

Inspired by bullet-hell style arcade games, but with a more open ended level design, Absence of Light combines puzzling level design with high precision action for a more expansive yet accessible take on the shoot 'em up genre.
