Last Light
Last Light is a 2D side-scrolling survival strategy game set in a dark underground laboratory overrun by mutants. Your goal is simple and brutal: fight your way up through seven floors and escape alive.
What Is Last Light?
The catch is that survival runs on resources — limited coins, limited electricity and limited ammunition — so every choice about lights, doors and defenses matters as much as your aim.

Easy, Normal and Hard change how unforgiving the grid can be.
How to Play Last Light
Pick Easy for your first escape and treat it as a lesson in the power grid. Explore thoroughly during the day — color-coded keycards in research desks open new floors, and question-mark icons mark items worth checking. Keep the three facility bars balanced instead of maxing one, because low security or a dead elevator can end a run instantly. Place turrets at narrow hallway chokepoints before midnight and drag vending machines into doorways as barricades. Spend early coins on weapon damage, save ammo for crowds, and never run the generator at night unless the room is clear.
Why Last Light Is Popular
Last Light stands out because it rewards planning as much as shooting. During the day you explore rooms, collect keycards and spend coins on upgrades; at midnight, mutant waves test everything you built. Electricity powers doors, lights and elevators, and overloading the grid triggers alarms and breaches, so Last Light becomes a tense balancing act. Weapon progress carries between attempts, which turns every failed escape into a slightly stronger next run.
