Navigate obstacles as a photon, dodge obstacles, and illuminate far into the night!

Use your duality to switch between your particle state and your wave state, adapting to your surroundings. As a particle, you can physically interact with objects, while as a wave, you can tunnel through the formidable obstacles. Progress along, and you can gain random abilities to help boost yourself through the challenges.

Navigate through the obstacles in your path, but make sure you don’t dissipate all your energy! Hit an energy boost or tunnel with a resonating frequency, and gain the energy you need to push through the night, and your chances of gaining abilities.

Move through the darkness, take advantage of your duality, and see how far you can reach out into the night sky.

Very cool art style and interesting interpretation of the theme! Would be helpful to have the waves change color when you change waves, or maybe even change the shape of the wave a bit more so they are distinct.

Thanks a lot for the thoughtful feedback!
We actually tied the wave color to the last collapse form, and the wave shape to the resonance identity, so we kept the visual language a bit subtle during the jam.
But you’re absolutely right — making the modes more distinct would improve readability, and it’s something we’d love to refine after the jam. Thanks again for the great suggestion and for playing!
