LIGHTSHIFT

Ride the light. Survive the shift.

LIGHTSHIFT is a fast neon arcade survival game where light is your lifeline and speed is always rising.

Orbit the central core, dodge incoming walls, and choose your way through coloured gates. A rotating scanner reveals gate colours and hidden pickups, so every sweep creates a new opportunity.

Choose your risk

• Collect light shards to widen your scanner, score points, and build your combo.
• Choose your gate: some colours slow the walls, while others push the speed higher.
• Grab an eye pickup to reveal all pickups for five seconds.
• Keep moving: your light steadily fades and the arena keeps getting faster.

Controls

• Touch: hold the left or right half of the screen to orbit.
• Keyboard: A / D or the arrow keys to move.
• Enter: start or retry. Esc / Space: pause. R: restart. M: toggle sound.

Play directly in your browser. Designed for portrait screens and short, replayable runs. Beat your personal best, saved locally in your browser.
