Up the Light
Up the Light follows a small animal hiding from a storm in a lighthouse. As the animal makes its way up the lighthouse, a story is revealed, and the animal becomes attune with nature.
- Control the game with the arrow keys or WASD
- Interact with yellow objects as you climb the lighthouse to progress the story.
Up the Light is a short, 5-minute playable story made with Bitsy. This is my third project in Bitsy, the others being Duck Goose and Overnight. I'm really proud of this story, the graphics, and the atmosphere of the whole experience. I'm so excited to finally share this project with you all!
Up the Light was made possible by:
- Bitsy by Adam Le Doux
- Bitsy Audio by Mark Wonnacott
- Beepbox by John Nesky
The hacks:
- Directional Avatar by Sean S. LeBlanc
- Transparent Sprites by Sean S. LeBlanc
And the help of the Bitsy Discord

Loved the atmosphere of this game! The lighthouse feels peaceful, yet sort of eerie and the palette works so well!
this game was adorable, a lot of the dialogue felt like poetry. I love how atmospheric the music is.
Thank you for creating this!
I really like how you managed to create a comforting and warm mood despite the game being rather short. Also the way you used the only three colors to enhance the important objects is really pleasing!
looking forward to more projects of you :D
Have played a few games like Up the Light and I always enjoy them, whether it's something with gameplay or simply living a short story. There's something about the minimalist visuals that gives it a certain charm, while letting your imagination fill the voids. Overall, I had fun with this.
Good job, devs. Also, I just realized I said "Bitly" in my vid instead of "Bitsy." Oops...This game is adorable! From the very beginning, throughout every single floor of the lighthouse, I felt enveloped in a new yet familiar sense of nostalgia. The dialogues were beautiful and the whole message of the game is magnificent and so so comforting.
It's an excellent game, I'll be happy to see what you come up with next!
This was wonderful, the music is very captivating.
