LunchTimeWaster: Pale

The Frenchies over at One Life Remains are no strangers to LunchTimeWaster, having been featured here in the past for their bizarre Pac-Man eating Pac-Man game. They’re back again, this time with a light-dropping puzzler, Pale.

Pale is a first-person puzzler where you have to navigate a maze to capture a number of diamonds. But it’s not just a maze you have to navigate — your environment is pitch black and you must light it using a limited number of light orbs that you have in your possession — use up all your light and you’ll be looking for those diamonds in the dark. We stupidly used up all our light right at the beginning and spent the rest of the game running into what we thought were walls, although we don’t actually know because it was completely dark. So the hot tip here is to use your light wisely.

Also, for some reason the WASD controls weren’t working for us, so we tried a few different keys on our keyboard and they worked fine… although it may have had something to do with the fact that we recently spilled tea all over our desks. And by that, we mean that Tracey spilled tea on her desk. And given that Tracey is the one who is writing this post, she does not know why she is referring to herself in the third person.
