'Last Light' is an action entry for the Ludum Dare 46 Game Jam with the theme 'Keep it Alive'.
In this game your goal is to keep the fire alive, it is the last light! If it dies it's game over.

Monsters will try and destroy it and you are the only person that can save it! There is a shop where you can upgrade the fire and yourself.You can win by upgrading the fire to it's maximum stage.

This is my second entry on a game jam, I hope you enjoy playing this game as much as I enjoyed making it.

Controls:

Esc to Pause

Thank you for playing!

I need sleep..

Nice graphics! Also like for Linux build :)

Game is a bit hard for me - I keep dying before I can buy any upgrades.

@ivn Yes, the game is very hard, but once you get past the first waves it gets easier. Small tip: Upgrade damage as soon as you can, it allows you to kill red monsters instantly.
Anyway, thank you for the feedback!

Beautiful pixel art, as @ivn said, it was pretty hard and challenging to reach the upgrades, I think a standard wave system would've worked a lot better that gradually increased difficulty. Overal loved the concept :)

I love it!! the graphics are really nice and simple. I like the upgrades and the stress it gives you when there is a billion enemys surrounding you. Great Job!!

It is a very hard game I think. And in game when I'm running left and then stop character face to right again. It is not a big deal but anyway it's looks annoying in my opinion. But it is good.

Cool little game with great potential. Love the concept of a shop. But yeah, really challenging even if I bought the damage upgrade as fast as I could. Perhaps tweak that a little! Anyways, well done!

Its VERY CHALLENGING for me O-O

I think the shop button is a little bit too small, it's hard to navigate to it when your time is so precious. Otherwise a great game, good job!

The game is really challenging (even punishing for my taste). This evens out as you progress, but it may make players quit too early.
The shop has a great selection of items though and aside from the brought beginning, I had a smooth experience. :fire:

Difficulty ramps up a little quickly. Art on the characters looks neat!

I had an idea like this before I scrapped it because I couldn't figure a way to make it fun. Good job, although the difficulty is a bit of an issue.

Hard AF, but the dark mood is a big plus!

Graphic and lighting effects build up great atmosphere. If the gameplay and difficulty curve are enhanced, this game would be a great one.
