Last Beacon

# LAST BEACON

You are the last keeper of a dying lighthouse. The tide brings Shades — keep your light burning, or be swallowed by the dark.

## THE GAME

Move to dodge the incoming Shades while your beacon's light beam automatically sweeps around you, burning anything caught in its arc. Your beam runs on oil — let it run dry and you're defenseless in the dark. Survive five minutes and the Voidmaw itself will rise from the deep.

## HOW TO PLAY

Every kill drops starlight — collect enough to level up and choose a new upgrade. Every run plays differently depending on which upgrades you pick.

## CONTROLS

**Desktop:** WASD or Arrow Keys to move, or click-and-drag anywhere on screen. `P` to pause.

**Mobile:** Drag anywhere on the screen to move. Tap the pause/mute icons in the top-right.

## FEATURES

- A rotating beacon beam instead of point-and-shoot combat — position, don't aim

- An oil-management loop that forces you to move even when it's safe to stand still

- 10 upgrades with stacking builds — wide beams, twin beams, speed, sustain

- A telegraphed boss fight against the Voidmaw at the 5-minute mark

- Full keyboard, mouse, and touch support with a responsive layout

- Local high score tracking, no account required

## TIPS

- Prioritize Wider Beam or Twin Beam early if you're getting swarmed.

- Efficient Wick + Oil Reserve lets you ignore oil pickups for longer runs.

- Watch for the Voidmaw's red warning ring — it means a charge attack is coming.

## SUPPORT

Last Beacon is free to play. If you enjoyed your run, you can leave a tip on this page to support future updates — totally optional.
