Follow the Sun by incobalt
One day, when Kayin was playing in the village, a great face in the Sun appeared and spoke. "My child," the face said, 'it is I, your King."
"A great evil is soon to visit our land and I am all but powerless. They have trapped me here in my throne room, I reached out, searching for power, and I have found it in you, young one."
"I can unlock the power in you, but I am weak. The power I grant you will only remain while our great Sun is in the sky. When night falls, so will I, and your power. But I have faith in you! Take this power and cleanse this land of corruption. Come to me and remove my captors. Beware the red death, for you are yet frail. Night approaches. Follow the Sun!"
Move using WASD or the arrow keys.
Press the spacebar to use the power.
Follow the Sun is the first game I've really executed in 3D making all the assets myself. I had a lot of fun and learned a lot about making a full game. Sadly there is no sound, as I ran out of time to make any sound, and the gameplay is a bit rudimentary.
NOTE: The post-compo version 1 includes a fix that many people were complaining about for the game (it quits to desktop instead of returning to the title screen). It is not meant for rating, but might make playing more convenient for those who have rated it and want to try it again.

Good game though :)
Not sure how this fits with the theme, but I gave up after my 3rd attempt (didn't want to restart it again).
Cute backstory, though. Gave it a little bit of charm!
I want to apologize for not having it go back to the main screen. I really intended to, but I just ran out of time to go and figure out which static variables I needed to reset, and I didn't want it to behave strangely, so I just had it quit.
