Move around the tower carrying a torch so its shadow covers incoming enemies. Defeat golden enemies and collect the light they drop to progress. The developer describes the tower's shadow—not a sword—as the attack.

Step-by-step approach
- Identify the tower, torch and approaching enemies before moving.
- Walk around the tower and watch the direction of its shadow. The developer says it can defeat several enemies together. Aligning a group with the shadow is a sensible experiment, but exact hitboxes and angles are unverified.
- Use a held Space press or right-click hold to throw when needed. No optimal hold duration or precise throw effect was verified through gameplay.
- Approach the torch to retrieve it. No separate pickup key is listed.
- Find golden enemies, defeat them and collect their dropped light. The required quantity and final stage count are not documented in the accessible instructions.
Troubleshooting, score and ending
Enemies survive? Reposition and check whether the shadow overlaps them. How do I throw? Hold Space or right click. How do I pick up the torch? Walk toward it. Cannot progress? Look for light dropped by golden enemies. Best score? Targeting groups matches the official description, but multipliers and the exact time limit remain unverified. How many endings? Unknown; do not assume a specific final boss or ending.
Bottom line: use the tower's shadow to fight and collect golden light to advance. This guide is based on official instructions, not a claimed completed playthrough.
