A simple and atmospheric browser-based game where you play as a spark of light navigating a dark and dangerous world.
You are a tiny spark adrift in endless darkness. Other trapped souls flicker faintly in the void, waiting to be freed. But every soul you ignite takes a piece of your own light, leaving you more vulnerable to the shadows. Will you sacrifice yourself to save others, or will you seek your own escape?
- Desktop:
SPACE: Ignite - Ignites the nearest soul.ArrowUp: Jump - A quick burst of upward movement.
- Mobile:
- Right Button (Flame Icon): Ignite.
- Left Button (Arrow Icon): Jump.
There are two ways to win:
- Salvation: Collect 15 souls to ignite the final beacon and bring light to the darkness.
- Escape: Survive the treacherous journey long enough to find a way out of the void.
You must constantly balance risk and reward. Your light is always fading, and the darkness is filled with obstacles.
Your light is your life. It constantly dims over time. If it fades completely, you are consumed by the darkness.
- Collecting Souls: To achieve the "Salvation" victory, you must collect souls. However, each soul you carry makes your light decay faster. This is the core sacrifice of the game.
- Ignoring Souls: You can choose to avoid souls to make your light last longer, potentially allowing you to survive long enough to "Escape". But without collecting souls, you can never achieve Salvation.
The darkness is not empty. Solid obstacles will appear in your path. Colliding with one will extinguish your light immediately.
The game has three possible outcomes:
- Salvation Win: Collect 15 souls.
- Escape Win: Survive for 12,000 distance units.
- Game Over: Your light radius shrinks to its minimum, or you collide with an obstacle.
