Luminary Rise

Game Overview

Luminary Rise is a 2D atmospheric puzzle-platformer that tells a silent story of Lumi, a creature born of light, navigating a world consumed by darkness.

As players journey through eerie environments filled with shadows, they must master light-based mechanics to solve puzzles, overcome traps, and avoid fading into the void. From sacrificing your own light to reveal hidden paths, to manipulating beams with mirrors and prisms, every level introduces new mechanics that challenge reflexes, strategy, and imagination.

The journey isn’t just about reaching the end — it’s about reigniting a dying world.

Flicker Zones

Trade your light to briefly illuminate the path ahead — move fast before everything fades to black.

Gravity Inversion

Navigate disorienting environments where gravity flips automatically or in specific zones, challenging timing and awareness.

Beam Puzzles

Manipulate light beams using rotating mirrors and soul-bound prisms to unlock paths, gates, and hidden secrets.

Echo Stones & Souls

Solve environmental puzzles that involve triggering echoes of the past or releasing trapped souls by aligning light paths through sacred stones.

No UI — Only Experience

The game features minimal UI and controls, letting the atmosphere and visuals tell the story.
