Scorching Light is a horror-action-platformer Game Boy game with puzzle elements. You play as an individual in a mission to find the light world. Unfortunately, their dreams and hopes will became soon a nightmare.
The game was created with GB Studio and was developed solo by Pasquale “Pasqui industry” Pignataro for the Newgrounds Summer Game Jam 2026.
How to Play
Do not touch the light. Any light - from enemies, items, or liquids - will kill the protagonist. The core mechanic lets you hide from light-based enemies by blending into the environment. An eye indicator at the bottom of the screen shows whether you're hidden. If you can't find the protagonist on screen, press the Character outline button to display a temporary outline.
