Meet the Shadow Core
Light Fall drops you into a bleak environment with just one asset: a tiny rectangular platform that responds to your will. Navigate through level by soaring over gaps or using it to stand on, completing hit the timing-based puzzles. It’s somber yet charming and always in motion.
What it is
Light Fall is an indie 2D platformer by Bishop Games that focuses on one simple concept – forming a short-lived platform to get through the levels and avoid enemies. The game is available on PC and Switch and has been well-received for its elegant gameplay innovation and sharp controls. This one is designed for gamers who enjoy tight responses, quick games and enjoying ones that facilitate testing new ways to complete tasks.

How it works
The main mechanic is that you can spawn a so called Shadow Core beneath your feet. Carry it around, drop it down or stand on it. That box is the center of navigation, fightin’ and puzzle solving. You’ll master the timing. You’ll string together jump combos. It feels just right. The game has also introduced a wisecracking owl buddy who will muses on your gaming habits and prevents the world from seeming desolate. Even though the focus remains on traversal, the game adds a bit of character.

- Several themed areas to explore, each of which has secret tunnels and other hidden objects.
- Speedrun-mode, with online halflives on the time trial mode.
