About This Game

A game of light and reason

Penumbra is a minimalist color-theory puzzle game. Move lights and blocks around the screen to mix colors and cast shadows. Match the color-coded goal circles with the right shade of colored light to complete each level.

Features

  • Handcrafted levels, each built around an idea and a specific solution

  • Additive color mixing where what you see on the floor is exactly what you get

  • Colored shadows from square blocks that filter or block light

  • A layered soundtrack that builds as the game progresses

  • Color blind mode, which marks every color with a glyph so each puzzle can be solved without telling hues apart

  • Mouse or controller, with full gamepad support
