Detailed Game Introduction

He Likes The Darkness is a minimalist, high‑contrast platformer. Low visibility, moving traps, and collectible orbs define compact stages. Mastering hop length, short stalls, and momentum preservation produces clean clears with satisfying flow.

Gameplay Strategy & Walkthrough

  1. Light scouting: Use small hops to reveal platform edges without overcommitting.
  2. Cycle timing: Observe moving hazards (saws/spikes) for a full cycle, then commit.
  3. Momentum: Keep micro‑momentum through tap‑taps rather than full stops.
  4. Orb routing: Grab orbs on safe passes; don’t force risky backtracks.
  5. Retry rhythm: Fast restarts build muscle memory for tricky segments.

Controls Guide

  • Move/Jump: Arrows/WASD + Space; occasional double‑jump per level rules.
