How to play
Light Lost.
Light Lost is a survival game in development for iPhone. Move your light, shoot pursuing triangles, and escape through the portal. Here is the core game loop.
02. Press or hold FIRE
Your shots automatically target the closest solid triangle. Holding FIRE keeps shooting. Firing clears space, while near misses earn points.
03. Make a close call count
Move quickly past a triangle without touching it. A near miss earns 20 points, or 40 for a tighter escape. Each triangle awards near-miss points once.
04. Wait for the portal to charge
Survive while PATH CHARGE fills. At 100%, enter the cyan portal at the top of the arena. Later rounds include several areas before the upgrade shop.
05. Upgrade between rounds
Spend earned points on movement speed, fire rate, and projectile speed. Completing rounds 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 creates a checkpoint when you continue.
06. Choose your soundtrack
Open the gameplay pause menu or settings to choose music. Your selection stays until you change it. Music search stays in these controls, so the main menu stays focused on the game.
Controls and details may change during development. The public download link and launch date have not been announced on this site.
