How to play

Move with ← → or A D. Jump with Space, ↑, W or Z. Hold jump to go higher.

Swap worlds with X, K or Shift. Golden blocks exist only in the light world. Purple blocks exist only in the shadow world. Blocks from the other world are drawn as faint outlines so you can plan ahead.

You can swap in mid-air. You cannot swap if you would end up inside a block.

Spikes: golden spikes hurt in the light, purple spikes hurt in the shadow, white spikes hurt in both.

Creatures: blobs live in the light and can be stomped. Wisps live in the shadow and must be avoided. Either one is harmless while you are in the other world.

Guardians wait at the end of each world. They are armored in the light. Swap to the shadow world and land on their glowing core.

Collect three shards in every level and beat your best times. Flags are checkpoints. R restarts the level. Esc pauses.
