Chiaroscuro
Light reveals, dark erases. Find the exit◇.
Levels are randomly generated and may not be solvable.
Keyboard controls: arrow keys or [WASD] to move; [X] to disperse. If you die, [X] to respawn in the current level. [R] to reset in a new level. There is no undo; gamble and persevere.
Touchscreen controls: tap at the main menu; swipe to move; tap during the game to disperse or respawn; open the tab menu in the upper left to reset.

Beat it eventually!
My strategy evolved from random inputs abusing respawning, to only collecting 1 light at a time and revealing as much path as possible, to actually using the disperse feature and getting as many boxes into holes as possible before compressing them
It was a surprisingly compelling journey actually
Not sure what the dark cubes are useful for however
Nice pic! The dark containers are a fallback for the occasional scenario where (ROT-13) gur rkvg vf va na vanpprffvoyr ybpngvba
Oh that makes sense actually
The game is interesting, but i couldn't find the exit yet, it's very difficult.
I haven't been able to finish a level yet but it is very interesting to play and reminds me of a Minesweeper type vibe mixed with a dungeon. Cool concept!
