END WITH FIRE by ArithiPathic
Start with nothing... end with fire! This is a simple dungeon crawler in which you start in darkness, and must navigate by sound instead of sight. Darkness IS the enemy in this game, and the dungeon will find ways to keep you in the dark. Don't let it!
NOTE: You'll want sound on while playing.
Tools (learned both Phaser and Tiled for jam):
- Phaser 3 - a javascript game framework
- Tiled - a level editor
- 2D Hand Painted Dungeon Tileset by DanielThomas

For me at least using R to restart didn't stop the music, resulting in multiple instances of the music running at the same time, which made it a bit hard to locate the fire hahaha
On the second try, however, I was able to use knowledge of the previous playthrough to find all (or a lot) of the torches. I like the dance at the end, and again the concept is fun.
I also liked the idea of leading the player at the start by putting them in darkness with the only visible way forward at the corner where you first find a torch. However, maybe don't block that first torch with walls because it's very easy to get stuck, lost, and frustrated.
A great concept though!
