Short of Light

Short of Light is a mini-game created as a personal project, written entirely in vanilla JavaScript using the Canvas element. Feel free to reach out for any questions, comments, or suggestions!

Introduction

You've fallen into a deep slumber. A nightmare from which there is seemingly no escape. A series of stretching hallways and confusing rooms stand between you and the light of day. But you mustn't lose hope. Confront your shadows, find your inner strength and fight to wake up again.

Instructions

• Use your arrow or wasd keys to move around the map (You can also use an on-screen joystick when playing on mobile). Esc to pause.
• You'll only be able to see in the direction you are facing.
• You must find and confront your shadows to unlock your way out.
• Once you found them, return to where you first started to finally wake up.
• While you search, you'll find oil canisters to refill your lamp.
• If your lamp runs out of oil, you'll be trapped in your nightmare forever.

Thank you for playing!
