Endlight

Endlight is a single-player game in which you collect 10 hoops to advance to the next level. Hoops give you shields, and shields let you smash through obstacles; smashing leads to more hoops. Its levels combine hand-crafted design with procedural generation, and the game contains more than 650 levels across 20 seasons, including 16 seasons of DLC. Completing them takes at least 40 hours, and the game has a finite ending.

Hoops and chaos

The action takes place in a shifting, twisting environment where everything moves and rotates. The game never gets faster; instead, the levels become denser. It includes first-person “Outside” levels and “Surprise Chats,” which tell a deliberately poor story.

If you struggle to complete a level, the Unstuck Guarantee discards it. Levels cannot be replayed or selected, and you cannot choose which level to play.

The Right To Replay

Each year on December 9, Endlight offers a one-day challenge. Open the game that day to receive the challenge; if you beat it, you win a coupon that lets you replay the game. If you do not beat it, you must wait until the following year to try again. The challenge changes each year and is described as unfair.
