About Pale Night
Explore the world of Vector with Pal and join an epic adventure to break the mysterious curse preventing Pal from staying under the light.
Pale Night is a styled minimalist 2D adventure with a twist on the classic platformer genre, where your character must avoid light at all cost. During your journey through the Vector world you'll explore sleeping forests, moody caverns, and overcome your fears within the Mount Thunder.
The world of Pale Night is filled with hidden secrets and puzzles based on lights and shadows. Collecting all prisms add an extra challenge for players who are willing to conquer it. Use the dash orb and the dig orb to move lightning fast under the shadows, and use the cloud orb to control the shades. Once you've mastered the game, showcase your platforming skills within speedrunning challenges.

Really cool game, not as simple as I thought. Well designed game, if you liked Super Meat Boy, you will love this game4 found this helpful
Pretty platform game that uses really clever and original mechanisms, with pleasant soundtrack. Looks like a beautiful tribute to super meat boy, which Super meat boy forever failed miserably to give. For sure will become a great One-man studio that you need to follow. can't wait for a second game !4 found this helpful
I enjoyed my time with Pale Night. The controls felt great. The added spice on the platformer genre in the form of the light mechanics were interesting. In terms of difficulty, I'd say it is generally accessible though it has some challenging parts in the main path. The art, while minimalistic, does have some charm. Reaching the end credits can be done pretty fast, but the game offers collectibles to fetch, hidden or harder to reach, which adds a challenge and therefore can help spending more time. Given the game nature, it also presents some speedrunning value if one is interested. The games works fine on steam deck with proton, though one should note it does not implement cloud saves at the time of writing. Overall, Pale Night is a fun love letter to the platformer genre with a little twist, and a good accomplishment for this small team.2 found this helpful
[h1]Great game, short, but sweet :)[/h1] I definitely recommend for all precision-platformer lovers. The art and music are very beautiful, characters - simplistic and cute. Levels are challenging, but not super hardcore. The extra missions for each level are present as well. The highlight (no pun intended) of this game is, of course, the fact that our main character has to avoid light. There are some helpful powers for making our way through. The boss fights were cool :) Overall, a great experience. Thank you for the game!1 found this helpful
Its good, but I got stumped and stopped playing. I could not figure out how to dash past ever-present light, lol.
The game is pretty to look at, fast to learn to play, intuitive and has a good difficulty evolution if you want to be challenged. It is cheep too. I like it.
