Endlight released 3 years ago with 4 incredible seasons! Over the next 2 years we released 16 more, each better than the last. Did this change my life? Nope.

Well would you look at that? We done gone and updated Endlight... again ! I was playing through Endlight on HARD which is a very very different ballgame. You have less shields, there are less hoops, you need more hoops, and you move faster. I die all the time ... it's brilliant !

I was playing through Endlight on HARD which is a very very different ballgame. You have less shields, there are less hoops, you need more hoops, and you move faster. I die all the time ... it's brilliant! I'm currently twittering about this on BlueSky.
💭💭💭
Thanks to the Unstuck Guarantee I made it to Season 7 Episode 3 "Slalom Sweet" ... when I encountered... a bug! A bug that's not possible. A bug that can't exist. A bug that I couldn't have missed considering I playtested each level (all 600+ of them) multiple times over the years. I tried to reproduce the bug and ... after many attempts ... did it once more. Shattered I spent the rest of the month inside an empty cardboard box, unable to urinate.
🩳🩳🩳
What stopped me from killing myself? I knew that's what the bug wanted. Leaving my dignity behind I opened Unity and after many ... many ... attempts was finally able to duplicate the bug within the editor. No error messages of course, younger me fixed all of those.
🚬🚬🚬
This level was tested 2 years ago, and GPUs have grown much faster since then. Combine that with the faster movement of playing on Hard, AND the extra performance newer versions of Unity provide, AND the large gaps between walls that "Slalom Sweet" features (filled with sweet obstacles inbetween), AND some unlucky RNG ... then you have the perfect storm of conditions that sometimes allows the player to briefly touch the end of the tunnel, a situation that should never happen and the cause of the bug. Obvious, really.
🔍🔍🔍
My initial fix was convoluted and touched a lot of code, meaning I would have to retest 600+ levels (at least 60 hours). After thinking about things for a few days, and going through the code I discovered I had ALREADY created a fix that handles cases somewhat similar to this. I rolled back my changes and made a very isolated 2 line tweak to that fix (a fix of a fix). That tweak would only impact a handful of levels, and those were easily testable. After doing that I played through the first 4 Seasons again (7+ hours), and tested some random levels because I'm not an idiot. And man-o-man let me tell you, this game is balls out strange.
🤯🤯🤯
While I was it I ...
And don't worry, all of this will make it to the console version. Assuming the console version makes it to consoles of course!

For those NOT in the know, Endlight is COMPLETE.
20 Seasons of eye boggling madness,
with one of the greatest endings in videogame history.
AFAIK, only 1 person has seen it, and lived to tell about it.
"Endlight is a special little oddball, released in a way that makes no commercial sense, and absolutely gorgeous in motion in a way that video compression does a terrible job of conveying."

The once-a-year one-day one-chance "Right To Replay" challenge is December 9, Open Endlight anytime that day to take it. To prepare I highly recommend playing Endlight until the start of Season 14. Otherwise you will be ... unprepared (see what I did there). This is the third "Right To Replay", and each one features a different group of levels. The first was too hard, the second was also too hard, and I think ... I think ... this one is too hard.
What do you win?
HAH
Like you don't know.
Truly you're incorrigible.

For the love of god, update Endlight.
A few days ago, Major Nelson announced "Take Immediate Action to Protect Your [Unity] Games and Apps" and so we did... and SO WE DID. He states that "There is no evidence of any exploitation of the vulnerability nor has there been any impact on users or customers." but we all know that he's lying (unlike Trump). Because we love you, we fixed it. Just kidding, we only love ourselves - the greatest love ... of ALLLLLLLL is easy to achieeeevveee lurrrrning to love, yourself is the greatest love of THE GREATEST LOVE, OF ALLLLLLLLLL 💖💖💖
Hackers will need to find a different way into your machine, because Endlight continues to keep that door closed. Did we patch the Steam Deck Linux version as well? Do you even NEED to ask? You do? That was a rhetorical question, you know what rhetorical means, right? You don't? THAT WAS ALSO RHETORICAL 😠😠😠
As a bonus, we upgraded from Unity 2023.2.15f1 to Unity 6000.0.58f2 and tested the bejesus out of it. Appears to be neither faster nor slower, making me wonder what Unity has been doing these last 2 years. ZING! Truth Time: It was less a "bonus" and more "we didn't have much choice" because we already upgraded for the upcoming console edition. The Zaratustra factor prevented us from simply patching the binary (the coward's way out). 🚬🚬🚬
During testing I also found a bug in the Super Secret Menu. Luckily, no-one has discovered the Super Secret Menu. One day, I may tell you the secret that uncovers the Super Secret Menu, but then I would have to change the name of the Super Secret Menu which is really the best part about the Super Secret Menu. 🤫🤫🤫

But this is no game ... wait... it is a game.

You'll never reach Season 20,

If you ignore missed milestones and broken promises, this season finally released on time! Way over budget but that's our problem, not yours. We keep stretching your dollar, and ... what's that dollar made out of exactly. 41 stellar new episodes featuring an insane amount of variety. We pushed it, to the limit, one more timmmmmme. The Season 19 ending is a cool place, and it only gets colder.
The trailer continues the tradition of being incredible. Most importantly, it did not take me long to make. Wait, you did not hear that.

A lovely unexpected review on "The Blisscast Journal"
"Given that this game has been so exceptional on so many levels, I’ll do my best at convincing you that it’s unfair that it’s not more famous than it is, and at the end of this Page, I promise you’ll be heading to Steam to buy it! "
In 6 weeks the absolute final last season of Endlight releases. The world is not ready. Should you complete Season 19, you will be ready. Unlike the world that I just mentioned.

Just 2 weeks after Season 17 comes (spoiler) ... Season 18! 41 of the best episodes ever produced by hands. While things are definitely more challenging, the Unstuck Guarantee means you will overcome. The final episode includes some Bruce Springsteen lyrics, so you know it's going down.

Legendary game developer and llama aficionado Jeff Minter unexpectedly played Endlight! For those not in-the-know: Jeff created games I played in 1983 on my C64 (Hover Bovver, Attack of the Mutant Camels, Matrix), honed Tempest to perfection, blew out eyeballs (long before Endlight) with Space Giraffe and Polybius, and in 2025 updated "I, Robot" for Atari. Many have described Endlight as Minter-esque, a high compliment indeed.
Jeff posted the following:
"Did you like Space Giraffe?
Then you probably ought to get this.
Play with a mouse.
Turn the chaos up to max.
🐂"
The problem?
There's nothing left to live for.

We are actively working on Season 17 and expect it to release in a few weeks. It's already the best Endlight season ever made, but we're making it even better. You haven't played Endlight until you've played Season 17. Meaning no-one has played Endlight yet. So what did people buy? I don't know.
And don't worry, we will be releasing Seasons 18, 19 and 20 in the next few months. Holy heck do you get a lot of bang for your buck. Thank gawd you can't replay levels.
2 weeks ago PC Magazine wrote this amazing followup. The article is titled "We have more levels than players" which was true at that time. The article generated so much attention I'm happy to report that we now have a player for every level! Full details soon, but thanks again to Andy Chalk and PC Gamer for championing indie games in these trying times.
Did you take the once-a-year one-day-only one-chance-only "Right To Replay" challenge held December 9, 2024? I hope so because it was awesome! I actually beat the challenge and won the coupon. Here is my video proof:

I was initially attracted to Endlight, a weird indie game about getting hoops, by its intense, almost overwhelming trailer, but what hooked me were the less obvious but very clever bits lying beneath its sensory onslaught: Levels are punctuated by odd, sometimes very funny chunks of text that made me feel as though developer Jim McGinley was watching and talking in the background as I played. I also loved the game's central conceit: Every level can only be completed once. After it's done, it's gone forever...

I recommend getting GUD before that. And should you win... SHOULD YOU WIN... HAH! Should you win.... you will get... an in-game coupon (non-transferable).
WAIT. It just occurred to me you MIGHT NOT OWN ENDLIGHT!? So we JUST put it ON SALE FOR 50% OFF ($7.50US)! That's 16 SEASONS (400 levels) of beautiful blistering intensity with ANOTHER 4 COMING SOON (free). Season 17 releases THIS week (Nov. 29) and good lord there's never been ANYTHING LIKE IT. There's actually never been anything like Seasons 1 to 16, but 17 can finally go all out knowing you can finally handle it. Thanks to our unstuck guarantee you WILL reach Season 17 but even if you don't, even if you don't... HAH!
