Dastan Games is releasing an odd little isometric shooter called The Light Inside Us this week on January 14th. The game has you controlling a group of sentient photons, which you can aim and fire at enemies. The game slows down to let you aim at your foes warping into battle, with aiming lines to help you get the perfect shot, particularly as you can use the environment to your advantage. Your photons are your health and your ammo, so wasting shots and taking damage is a very bad idea.
The game promises an intriguing abstract theme to go along with its more tactical gameplay than you see from most shooters. But tactical shooting worked out for Space Marshals ($3.99), and this looks even more out there than that game is. It’s a very intriguing little game, and you’ll get to check it out this week on the 14th, when it launches for $2.99. Update: The developer has just confirmed to us that the iOS version of the game has been delayed indefinitely due to some behind-the-scenes issues. You can play a demo version on Android.
