Light The Way

Intro:

In the heart of a shadowy realm, light is the rarest treasure.

Meet Bobby, a lone light-bulb that got lost in the deep dark depths of the wilderness. Your goal is to help Bobby get home safe and sound. 

To do so, you must navigate through treacherous forests, hazardous cliff-sides, and abyssal caverns. All the while, preserving Bobby's precious light.

Instructions: 

Harness Bobby's light to illuminate paths, repel dangers, and lure adversaries into traps. 

Collect batteries to recharge Bobby's light, and light bulbs for additional lives. 

Help Bobby reach the signpost on each level to proceed home one step at a time.

Controls:

Left and Right: Move Bobby horizontally.

Up: Jump. The longer you hold, the higher Bobby jumps.

Down: Drop through thinner platforms. 

Spacebar: Hold to turn on Bobby's light. 

Tips:

Don't be afraid to use the light to guide you in a level, just keep an eye on your battery gauge.  

In cases where you are certain about the layout of a level, and there are many enemies pursuing you, flickering the light may help give brief vision while reducing the pursuit of enemies.

At times you can draw the enemy in using the noise from your movement or the light, allowing you to lure them into deadly traps.
