Alight is a platformer that mixes exploration and reflexes and more than a little story. Move with the arrow keys, fly with the space bar or up arrow. If you find yourself having trouble getting much altitude, trying pressing the space bar at a slower pace until you find the right rhythm. And remember that you can always drop down out of a flock of birds without using a flap of your wings with the down arrow key.

Every time you enter a door, your game is automatically saved, and you can replay a level at any point.

If you're amazed by the music like we were, you should check out Smiletron, who made the song -- he has a web site at smiletron.org and more songs at 8bc.org/members/SMILETRON

Interesting

Kind of fun. Interesting story, but I really didn't like how the platforming worked. It was often more frustrating than fun. Well done, other than that, though.

Good, meaningful, but could have been better.

I actually didnt finish the game, I got stuck in an airstream and couldn't move out,
But a good game; a touching story, and 8-bit graphics. All you need for a good game.
It felt too slow though, the jump was just too limited, the story was far too intriguing to go that slow with it. Keep up the good work,

Worth while story, iffy at best game-play.

This game was, in a word, infuriating. The story was great to follow, and the animation was interesting to look at, but the concept of a "don't touch the walls" kind of game kills the best parts of this game. I nearly ripped my hair out navigating through the black walls. Ugh. Would have been infinitely better without that.
