You are the only light left in the void.

  The darkness is coming for you.

  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

  THE LIGHT PARADOX

  The stronger you become, the more danger you attract. Every upgrade that

  makes you glow brighter makes you a bigger target. There is no safe path —

  only the choice of how brightly you want to burn.

  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

  HOW TO PLAY

  Move through the void, collect light fragments, and level up your powers.

  Enemies accelerate with your level — the clock is your enemy as much as the

  darkness is.

    WASD / Arrow Keys — move

    SPACE — dash (damages enemies you pass through)

    Level up — choose 1 of 3 upgrades

    Click or Space — start / retry

  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

  UPGRADES

  Build your own loadout from 10 upgrades, each with 3 tiers:

    ⚡ Swift Aura      — move up to 60% faster

    ★  Nova Burst      — auto-explode everything nearby

    ↑  Light Bolt      — fire tracking projectiles at enemies

    ○  Orbit Shields   — up to 6 spinning shields

    ⛓  Chain Strike    — bolts leap between enemies

    ◉  Pulse Wave      — slow-field that radiates outward

    ◈  Void Shield     — absorb hits completely

    ✦  Light Magnet    — pull fragments from 4× farther away

    ✦  Raw Power       — multiply bolt damage up to ×4

    ❤  Vital Core      — expand your max HP

  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

  ENEMIES

    SHADE      — fast, erratic, swarms you in numbers

    WRAITH     — durable, relentless

    SPECTER    — fast star-form that phases in unpredictably

    REVENANT   — heavily armoured hex-form

    DARK ONE   — boss. Arrives at 2 minutes. Then again. Then again.

  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

  COMBO SYSTEM

  Chain kills without a gap to multiply your score — and unlock increasingly

  unhinged announcements:

    ×5   FRENZY

    ×10  CHAOS

    ×20  CARNAGE

    ×30  OBLITERATION

    ×50  SINGULARITY

  Each kill in a chain plays a rising musical note. Hit 50 and the void

  vibrates.

  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
