The Deeplight Expedition
Tags for The Deeplight Expedition
Description
Explore 38 rooms spanning 135 screens of platforming challenges as you search for the lost Deeplight stone to restore the light of the sun to the land.
Find and collect the 10 keys and 4 runes to open the path to the Deeplight stone, activate the 4 warp gates to quickly move around the labyrinth, and uncover all 20 hidden tablets to learn the story of the Deeplight stones and the tyrannical mage, Syal.
You'll need to avoid devious traps, spikes, lava, and acid along the way, as well as traverse moving platforms, rush across crumbling bridges, and master the skill of wall-jumping if you expect to succeed.
Go beyond just reaching the Deeplight stone and collect every key, find every tablet, and explore every inch of the labyrinth to unlock all 5 of the game's achievements.
How to Play
Use the arrow keys (or WASD) to move.
Press up (or W, or the spacebar) to jump.
Press Z or B to toggle the minimap on and off.
Press X or N to review your progress and read any tablets you've collected.
Hold C or M (for a few seconds) to warp back to the entrance of the labyrinth.
After discovering other warp gates, hold C to warp to each gate (and the labyrinth entrance) in turn.
Developer Updates
Helpful tips:
- When wall jumping, you do not need to hold down or repeatedly press the jump button โ you just need to press in the direction away from the wall.
- If youโve just collected a difficult to reach key, tablet, or rune, you can always warp out of the room (by holding C or M) if you donโt want to risk walking back; warping saves your game as well. (Granite26 pointed this out in a comment, and itโs a pretty good tip)

Update 2:
You can now use WASD to move and jump; the spacebar is also now an additional jump button.
The B, N, and M keys can be used to toggle the minimap, display the status screen, and warp around the labyrinth (if youโre using WASD to move, BNM will probably be easier than trying to use ZXC for these commands).
Minor update: Iโve made the wall jumping just a bit more forgiving โ it should be easier to get the timing right now.

Why do the tops of the spike traps kill you?

It is possible to miss a key permanently. There is at least 1 locked door which if you don't open it and get the key within, and use that key elsewhere, you will never be able to get the key achievement without starting over.

PsshDavid et al. Remember you can always teleport back to the beginning (with C, I think). So if you get in and don't want to have to get out, just teleport.

Amazing game. Very difficult platforming, but not one-pixel difficult. I'm amazed that a game of this depth and challenge doesn't have badges. 5/5

Just uploaded another update that adds WASD control (and also adds support for using B, N, and M to toggle the minimap, view the status screen, and warp).
Also, when wall jumping, you do not need to hold down or repeatedly press the jump button โ you just need to press in the direction away from the wall (it's more like wall-bouncing or wall-kicking in that sense).
