Lumina

Dance with Lumina’s glow to outwit nature’s sneaky shadows in this cozy 2D puzzle platformer! Built for the "Man vs. Nature" game jam, Lumina reimagines the theme as a battle against light itself—a primal force that both reveals and conceals the path to victory. Switch between light and dark modes to uncover hidden platforms, dodge lurking enemies, and push boxes to reach each level’s exit. With minimalist pixel art and soothing lo-fi tunes, this game invites you to solve clever puzzles at your own pace, racing against the clock for the fastest times.

NOTE: The WebGL version sometimes will get stuck on the loading screen or restarting a level. If that happens you'll need to reload the page (and lose progress). Sorry about that!
