Stoke the Flame

Controls: Use WASD or Arrow Keys to move. Hold E or Space to interact and burn.

About the Game: You play as a candle in a puzzle-platformer featuring a dark and moody, oil-painted like art style. Your candlestick continuously burns down over time, shortening your height. To survive, you must collect wax to rebuild yourself. You can hold your burn button to expand your light radius (turning your flame green) to light lamps, open timed doors, and power hot air balloons, but doing so burns your wax faster. You also have to navigate hazards like swinging axe traps that can slice clean through your candle.

Credits: Just me, mainly. I made most of the assets and did the code myself. sound effects are sourced from free sites. Same with UI.

Developer Notes: I joined the jam late and faced significant coding errors alongside some scope creep. However, I really enjoyed this concept and plan to add much more. Future updates will include at least 15-levels with later levels testing resource management and advanced mechanics. 

Thanks for checking out what little I was able to upload! I am working on a project outside of this right now , So it's not a major priority. So luckily, no stress!

I am currently Developing a Pixel art 2.5d Zombie Survival Choose-your-own adventure game. It will be my first commercial title, Highway to Highroad.
