So this was my first foray into game jams and LD, and I have to say it was an absolute blast! It's been quite a while since I've last developed any games, so it's fun to be getting back into it.

My game is called "The Light Child". The main goal of the game is to keep the small fire creature alive (by feeding it wood and protecting it from enemies), all the while also collecting four orbs so that you can rid the world of the darkness it finds itself in. The game is definitely on the harder side, but if you're up for a challenge, then this game is for you!

Controls:
- Move with arrow keys
- Pickup/drop items with space bar
- 'z' to attack with the axe (direction is determined by which way you're moving), or to feed the fire child wood pieces
- esc to pause

The game was made using Godot and all art was made in Aseprite (both of which I only starting learning on Friday :sweat_smile:). Unfortunately, I didn't get around to adding any music :(

I look forwards to participating in future Ludum Dares, and hope you all have fun playing my game!
