Endlight

THE "RIGHT-TO-REPLAY" EVENT IS THIS SATURDAY DEC. 9! 50% OFF!

THIS SATURDAY (DEC. 9) WIN THE RIGHT TO REPLAY!
BONUS: Endlight is 50% OFF until then!

  • Once-A-Year One-Day-Only One-Chance-Only
  • When you open the game on Saturday, you'll be issued a special challenge.
  • Success takes 30 minutes. Failure takes less, likely much less.
  • Difficulty adjustments will be honoured - we want everyone to enjoy the challenge.
  • If recording, get your stuff ready beforehand.
  • If you win, you get a coupon that allows you to replay Endlight.
  • If you lose or miss the challenge, you'll need to wait a year to try again. Not really a punishment considering you get a free season every month that entire time.
  • You can only cash the coupon at the end of Endlight, meaning you need to complete 8 seasons/200 levels before you can use your coupon. Note: Every month we add a free season so getting to the end takes longer.
  • Created this Coolio powered TikTok to alert everyone.



Did I mention Endlight was 50% OFF?


Even if you bought the game, you should buy it again.
Or tell a friend to buy no less than 3 copies.

FAQ


Q: If I buy the game on Saturday, can I still play the challenge?

Q: Am I still a pretty little thing?
A: You don't need me to tell you that.

Q: Why 3 copies?
A: I like the way you think, make it 7.

Italy Maybe Loves Endlight
At least I think they do. They came across Andy Chalk's amazing PCGamer article and created a short video. Based on the new footage, they definitely played the game. Based on the YouTube generated English captions, they liked it.

Are we truly the best game on deck?
I've given this a lot of thought and the answer is yes.

Season 7 RELEASED! Somehow STILL FREE (November 2023)

Season 7 has been RELEASED!
Remember how fantastic Season 5 and Season 6 were? Well they sucked. They just bought us time to create Season 7. The only thing better than Season 7, is this video I created showcasing Season 7.

Over on TubeYube, the charming and effortlessly cool Bleachpie8 has been playing Endlight. If you want someone to play Endlight for you, complete with massive spoilers, you best watch the king. He's averaging about an hour a season, which is both amazing and concerning.

Season 5 Let's Play

Season 6 Let's Play

Important Reminder
"The Right To Replay" event will be held December 9. When you open Endlight that day you'll get ONE chance to beat the ONCE-A-YEAR challenge. Should you succeed you'll be rewarded the greatest gift you've ever gotten: The right to replay Endlight. Mark you calendars because if you miss it, you miss it.

On Reddit, I posted Part 4 of our ongoing Endlight sales series.
Spoiler 1: Endlight has sold a total of 139 copies.
Spoiler 2: No refunds this month!



Endlight was created using Unity.
Unity, of course, died this month.
Rage inspired me to make this comic series,
which I was forced to end early when Unity CEO john Riccitiello unexpectedly "retired".
All the Unity board members remain, meaning things are unlikely to get better.

To help promote the just completed Steam ShmupFest,
I created a video showcasing "Bones:Outside" gameplay.
Perhaps it will change your life.

Matheus Viana created this TikTok about Endlight.
It's snappy, fast paced, and in Portuguese.
Hopefully he liked it because it's got 15,000+ views.

PC Gamer wrote this incredible review.
Several secrets may be revealed.
Andy Chalk may be the only person that truly understands Endlight,
and we're very grateful he took the time to write this.
May he be rewarded with all the views.

...
Addy Lovestar posted a truly subversive analysis
It cuts deep, and is a completely unexpected take.
It's worth more than the minute and a half it requires.

...
"Few have bought, less have finished."
According to my stats, you have not bought Endlight.
You should, it's good for you.
If you have bought Endlight, you haven't finished it.
You should, you paid for it.
Read my recent Reddit Post.
I'm risking karma.

Endlight is finally RELEASED!

Lock up Grandma because today is the DAY.
Endlight is FINALLY RELEASED!
You knew it would happen and it did.
I've literally played Endlight 10,000 times,
so I have the credentials to say "ENDLIGHT"

Review: Kylda


"Endlight is THE most visually stimulating game I have ever played ...
and I've played some fucking visually stimulating games"
"it gets absurd VERY fast, in about 2 milliseconds you go from ...
oooo pretty lights to ... (footage of a computer exploding)"
"satisfying is something this game does at its core ... really well"


Review: ZeroFrameGaming


Perhaps the only review that mentions Endlight is funny.
Endlight also features the worst story in videogame history but I digress.
They highlight some of my game design tweets so you'll learn thangs.
They were surprised Endlight was in development for so long which is great!
Oh wait... that's great, right? Right?!
Grandma!!!




HIDDEN FACT


Endlight's default settings have Chaos and Graphics turned down for the normals.
But that's not you.

You ...
You're absurd.
You're an avocado in a bowl full of raisins.
You're the reason I get out of bed every morning and pretend I slept.

Switch "Chaos" to "Exciting" and "Graphics" to "Great",
your eyeballs will both thank you.


NOT HIDDEN FACT


We will be releasing FREE SEASONS (25 levels each)
on the first of EVERY MONTH for a YEAR.
That's a lotta levels, but it's better than installing drywall.




MEANWHILE ON REDDIT


I spill the beans on Endlight sales and plans.
Read it before it reads you.
Our game will FAIL at launch (tomorrow), but be SUCCESSFUL later
