Yes, I used the age-old tactic of butchering a foreign word so that I don't have to deal with the fact that the name " Blacklight" is already taken.

TODO

• 💚 MVP idea
  • Base genre: puzzle, platformer
  • Basically Fireboy and Watergirl, but with one catch - Fireboy Blacklight radiates ultraviolet light and Watergirl Vamp is a vampire, vulnerable to sunlight UV radiation
