Formerly known as Light Keeper, it was started as an independent study project by Brian Weers in April of 2023 where the light pickup mechanic and timer were implemented alongside a few assets. The Game Design capstone course continued to work on the project in Fall 2023. Utilizing the timer mechanic, gameplay shifted from a "keep away" game to "hot potato."

The initial Fall 2023 goals included 4 player Xbox controller support, 2 new playable characters, unique character abilities, a new map, dynamic stage hazards, and new items. Of these, the new map, stage hazards, and items were fully implemented during the semester.
