Last Light

Last Light is a 2D side-scrolling zombie survival game set in an underground laboratory. Your goal is to escape, but shooting is only part of the job: ammunition, money, time and electricity all limit how far you can push.

Search the facility while conditions are manageable, then turn what you find into a stronger defense before night attacks. The tension comes from deciding whether another room is worth exploring when your battery, supplies or preparation time are running low.

Search with a Purpose

Move between laboratory rooms using stairs and elevators. Inspect desks for color-coded keycards that open restricted areas, and collect supplies along the way. New access is useful only if you can survive the journey back or prepare at your next position.

Keep Three Systems Supplied

The generator feeds a battery shared by lighting, security and the elevator. Lights make searching safer, security supports your defenses, and elevator power helps you move toward escape. Watch the battery rather than committing all available energy to one system.

Turn Coins into Survival

Spend collected coins on weapons, character improvements and defensive equipment. Turrets can cover an entrance, while barricades slow enemies in narrow routes. Neither replaces preparation: check your ammunition and power before leaving a defended position for another search.

Use a keyboard and mouse for the desktop version. When an object offers several actions, follow its on-screen prompt.

• W A S D: move and navigate stairs
• ⇧ Shift: move faster
• LRRight Click: aim
• LRLeft Click: shoot
• R: reload; take or use an item when prompted
• E: interact with objects and equipment
• LRMiddle Click: kick or cancel an action

• Give each trip a stopping point. Decide which room or locked route you want to investigate, then return before a short search leaves you unprepared for night.
• Reserve energy for your next move. A brightly lit room is not enough if the elevator has no power when you need to leave.
• Defend a route, not an empty room. Place barricades and turrets where approaching zombies must pass so your spending protects a useful entrance.
• Reload before a breach. Use the delay bought by a door or barricade to prepare your weapon instead of waiting until enemies reach you.
• Buy for the problem ending your runs. If your weapon cannot clear enemies, improve it; if you are caught without time to react, strengthen the threatened entrance instead of buying at random.
