One rule. Two colours. A board that never sits still.

Pieces standing in light can be captured. Pieces standing in shadow are safe. Every turn the sun rotates 90° — the shelter you built a moment ago can disappear before your opponent even replies.

Features

  • Pure spatial strategy — no dice, no cards, no randomness
  • Hotseat two-player
  • Built-in AI opponent for solo play and learning
  • Beautiful, atmospheric visuals with dynamic shadow rendering
  • Keyboard + mouse support

Made as a design prototype exploring dynamic light/shadow mechanics and multi-agent coordination concepts.

You need to check "Enable scrollbars" if you want this to be playable. Ideally format your description properly - itch.io doesn't use Markdown.
