Luminary Rise
A minimalistic platformer where light is life — and darkness is death.

Game Overview
Luminary Rise is an atmospheric 2D puzzle-platformer where light is more than just a mechanic — it’s life itself. You play as Lumi, a fragile being born of light, navigating a haunting world swallowed by shadows.
Every step forward is a delicate balance between survival and sacrifice. Use your own light to uncover hidden paths, manipulate beams through mirrors and prisms, and brave disorienting gravity shifts. Each level unveils new challenges, weaving gameplay and story into an emotional journey of hope and discovery.
This is not just a platformer — it’s a story of rekindling light in a world on the brink of darkness.
