Our take on No Lights
Rather than using a fixed sequence of stages, this survival game places exploration in randomly generated caves with no stated level count. Its structure centers on repeated searches for light, resource management, jetpack movement, and encounters with creatures.
What is No Lights?
No Lights is a pixel-art survival game set in the caves of an alien planet.
Players guide a lost astronaut through randomly generated levels with no fixed total, searching for sources of light while managing survival in a hostile environment. The game includes oxygen and shells as survival concerns, dangers to avoid, creatures to shoot, and a jetpack for traveling more than a dozen miles.
