"Light Devours" is a Monochrome Black-And-White Game where you dodge Saws, Thorns, Lasers, Bullets and Blades for 10 Minutes. This can be done in 4 Different Difficulty Modes! 
There is also an Endless Mode with gradually increasing Difficulty if you wanna see how far you can get. 

Every Mode in this Game can be completed in Local Multiplayer so you can always play with a Friend! [Or if you're a Whacko you can just control both Player 1 and Player 2 at once by yourself].

If you Complete the Game in a Difficulty you get a little Star at the Bottom Left of the Main Menu. 4 of the 5 Stars are obtainable by beating Easy, Normal, Hard and Extreme Respectively. The 5th Star will be Obtainable in a later Version when Challenges are Accessible.
Early Build v0.4 doesn't include Freeplay and  Challenges yet. More Attack Patterns will be added too as there are only 5 at this Point.

Controls for P1 are limited to the Mouse for now, I do plan on Allowing Different Control Schemes in the Future though. Since v0.3 Controls can now be set by the Player[s] in the Controls Menu. These are the different Control Schemes in v0.3:

Mouse
- Moving Mouse: Move around Player.
- Left-Click: Select Menu Option.
- Right Click: Toggle Pausing in Battle Mode [Cursor needs to be on your Player Character when Unpausing] + Going Back to Main Menu while in Sub-Menu.
- Middle-Click: Give One of your Hearts to the other Player if Local Multiplayer is enabled.

Keyboard
- W, A, S, D or Arrow Keys: Moving around the Player.
- P: Pause the Game.
- Space: Give One of your Hearts to the other Player.
- Shift: Slow yourself down to 50% [Only v0.2] [REMOVED].
- Back Space: Going Back to Main Menu while in Sub Menu.

Controller
- Tilting Joystick: Moving around Player.
- Start/Menu Button: Pause the Game.
- View/Back Button: Give One of your Hearts to the other Player.
- B Button: Going Back to Main Menu while in Sub Menu.


To Enable Local Multiplayer Mode you just have to Left-Click on the little Friend Symbol in the Bottom Right of the Main Menu or Press M [Only works while in Main Menu].
