Endlight News

Season 15 has RELEASED!
We are back on track. Season 15 is another 25 levels of magic, mayhem, and baked beans. It's the 3rd Sour Season and if you know what that means you're part of a very very exclusive and good looking club. The best part of Season 15 might be this trailer. I've lost count of the number of Endlight videos I've created but I feel it's 15.

New Steam Review!
"boring"

All killer, no filler. Everything you could want from a review. They played Endlight for 12 minutes and did not ask for a refund. They've been on Steam for 20 years, bought 828 games and have left 111 reviews. So. Many. Questions.

Reddit Doozy
In June, we pulled out all the marketing stops and went for broke.
IT WORKED
Spoiler: Endlight sold 32 copies in June at half price!

50% OFF!!!
An absolute steal that hurts us but helps you so it's a WIN WIN!
We've never gone lower, nor do we plan to. Don't make us.

Season 11 (March) just RELEASED! Season 12 (April) just RELEASED! Season 13 (May) just RELEASED! Season 14 (June) just RELEASED!
Break out the potatoes and turn them into fries!

A few of those seasons are being delivered late,
and I've only created trailers for 11 and 12 so far.
But... they're amazing!

The Sour Seasons Beginith
Season 13 is the start of "The Sour Seasons",
They betray everything Endlight stands for.
Fire kills you, Rubber stops you. Sometimes they work together.
You'll initially hate them.
Eventually you'll hate them more.
Years later, looking back, you'll hate yourself for not hating them even more.

Bleachpie8 not coming back
As previously mentioned, Bleachpie8 played Season 8 (December) but has not returned since. In fact, stats indicate no-one has played Season 9 (January) or 10 (February). Rather than reflect on this dire situation, let's remember some of the good times Bleachpie8 had

Reddit Shmeddit
Just posted the February, March, April and May sales data (Part 8) on Reddit. Summary: I won't be shopping at Ikea anytime soon.

Season 10 has RELEASED!
February no longer SUCKS.
25 new levels that finally reveal Endlight's true beautiful face.
Q: if they're so great, why didn't we start with them?
A: Because you couldn't handle that.

Once again the new season is accompanied by an awesome video.
Stats showed people stopped watching these after 10 seconds,
so we doubled the speed.
BRACE YOURSELF

Bleachpie8, where art thou?
Ultra reliable Endlight streamer Bleachpie8 has not played Season 9 / January (let alone Season 10 / February). Why Bleachpie8? WHY!!!??!?! Was it something we said? Did you grow tired of our antics? Come back Bleachpie8... COME BACK
Note: Stats indicate no-one has reached Season 9 or 10.

WroteIt On Reddit
Just posted the January sales data (Part 7) on Reddit. The comments, as always, are fascinating. I would reply to the comments more but the comments themselves get downvoted for reasons I don't fully understand!
Spoiler: Endlight sold 9 copies in January at full price!

Season 9 has been RELEASED!
Remember how much you loved Season 8? You should have saved that love for Season 9. It's immaculate.

The Right To Replay Challenge: Mild Success
On Dec. 9, 2023 47 players (of a possible 190) tried the once-a-year challenge! Unfortunately no-one, including me, was able to beat it. Next year's challenge will be much more fair, yet somehow more thrilling and unfair. Set your alarm for Dec. 9, 2024.

[h3]THIS SATURDAY (DEC. 9) WIN THE RIGHT TO REPLAY!
BONUS: Endlight is 50% OFF until then![/h3]

• Once-A-Year One-Day-Only One-Chance-Only
  
• When you open the game on Saturday, you'll be issued a special challenge.
  
• Success takes 30 minutes. Failure takes less, likely much less.
  
• Difficulty adjustments will be honoured - we want everyone to enjoy the challenge.
  
• If recording, get your stuff ready beforehand.
  
• If you win, you get a coupon that allows you to replay Endlight.
  
• If you lose or miss the challenge, you'll need to wait a year to try again. Not really a punishment considering you get a free season every month that entire time.
  
• You can only cash the coupon at the end of Endlight, meaning you need to complete 8 seasons/200 levels before you can use your coupon. Note: Every month we add a free season so getting to the end takes longer.
  
• Created this Coolio powered TikTok to alert everyone.
  

[h3]Did I mention Endlight was 50% OFF?[/h3]
Even if you bought the game, you should buy it again.
Or tell a friend to buy no less than 3 copies.
Work with me here.

[h3]FAQ[/h3]
Q: If I buy the game on Saturday, can I still play the challenge?
A: Yes. BUT you must complete 3 levels first. This is for your own good.

Q: Am I still a pretty little thing?
A: You don't need me to tell you that.

Q: Why 3 copies?
A: I like the way you think, make it 7.
