About Nightveld: A bullet heaven (a reverse bullet hell) where your only weapon is the light you see with. Widen the beam to see the swarm coming, or focus it to burn what's close, and go blind everywhere else. Survive to dawn, pick a power, and face a longer, hungrier Night. How many can you last?
