Until Dawn Comes

Created in 48 hours by a team of three for a game jam with the theme FIRST LIGHT.

Built with Godot.

Until dawn comes is a short vertical platformer made for the First Light game jam.

You play as a small spirit climbing through a strange city before dawn.

In darkness, you fall and recover.
In light, you become weightless and rise — but the light slowly drains your life.

Jump between platforms, use beams of light to gain height, chain jumps through the air, and decide when to stay in the shadows and when to risk flying upward.

The higher you climb, the city becomes brighter, stranger, and more abstract, until you finally reach the first light.
