What is Guiding Light?

In this free-to-play online puzzle platformer, two players rescue stranded aliens across levels set on alien planets. One player navigates in first person, operating buttons and levers and picking up batteries, while the other pilots a UFO. The UFO’s light reveals hidden objects and activates doors and moving platforms, and each player has information the other needs.
