KillTheLight

Framing

KillTheLight is a 2D side-scrolling platformer built in Unity, with a complete narrative wrapped around the theme of light pollution. I made the storyboard, the art and the code entirely on my own.

Systems

• Character control — C# input and state machine handling movement, jumping, damage and death.
• Camera follow — smooth, bounded follow that supports both standard scrolling and set-piece camera moves.
• Scene flow — multi-scene loading and transitions with level progress tracking.
• Interactions — ziplines, climbing, mirror jumps, teleporters and switch controls.
• Items — collection and equipping that changes abilities and routes through a level.
• Crane physics — a linked simulation of trolley, hook, rope and payload.
• Process — self-taught Unity workflow, with AI tools used to assist implementation and debugging.
