A downloadable game

Hey! We’re team Banana Penguins, and we made the game Illuminate.

Lead lanterns in a battle against the darkness in this tactical narrative based game. The tension will mount as you traverse each level but fear not as the goddess Illumina has chosen you to light the way. Take charge and command unique lanterns on a grid based map like in XCOM. Don’t take your responsibilities lightly, and come vanquish the shadows! But careful in this dark world, as it contains more mystery than it initially seems.


We were accepted as an honorary mention in IEEE GameSig 2019 for indie game showcase by having the best game design!

Install instructions

Download the latest "Illuminate_Game_Build" and unzip it into a directory. In the zip file, there's a couple of files, so it's best to unzip them into a new folder. Then, double click the "Illumnate.exe" executable and have fun!

I like the artwork! Are you also plan to make the board the same style?

Here are some concerns, issues, and bugs I have found:

1. No visual cues of where and which direction my lanterns can go, and the action points did not make much sense to me. They can be negative.

2. I can keep clicking the lantern and it will grow super large or disappear!

3. What about the dark lantern?

Anyway, this is a good start, I encourage you to focus on getting a completed and playable version and expressing the novel or unique ideas that will make your game a difference.

Issues addressed! Thanks!
