As part of Nintendo's Nindies Showcase today, developer Bishop Games has revealed Light Fall, a twitch-style platformer that combines the light and dark aesthetic of Limbo with the speed, precision and timing of Celeste. In other words, it looks flippin' awesome.
You play a young boy who must use a special box known as a Shadow Core to traverse the dangerous and forgotten world of Numbra. The core can be used as a platform, enabling you to reach high ledges and cross seemingly impossible gaps. The game will also support a speedrunning mode (and online leaderboards), so expect some insane block-leaping antics to come. It's also a timed console exclusive on Switch, and it's coming this Spring.
What's your take on Light Fall? If you're a fan of any of the above, you'll definitely like this lil' indie. Let us know what you think below...

This one looks really cool but tough as nails.
I'll be keeping an eye out for it.
I will grab this one. Im pretty sure the review will be nice.
Played this at Pax East a couple years ago. Was great! Can't wait for this to come out!
My initial impression is I'm not as excited for it as I was for Celeste, but that's nothing against Light Fall as Celeste ended up being probably the best 2D platformer I've ever played. This looks good, I'll likely grab it if it lives up to expectations.
Reminded me of Ori and the Blind Forest, which is good b/c that was a great game, but looks harder than that which is bad b/c that game nearly killed me. That wave gave me PSTD flashbacks.
Pretty neat art style and concept. Speed running mode is interesting, this is definitely on my radar.
This looks gorgeous and exactly like the kind of game I like: tough-as-nails, fast moving platformer. If this gets good reviews it may be a day-one purchase for me.
releasing on Switch and PC! Best two places for games
@Eef Ori 2 - whatever it's called - is only on Xbox so I suppose they'll want to keep the original as well.
Haven't I seen this game before on this site?
