Pyrotaxia - a Flame in the Dark
A downloadable prototype for Windows
Survive in a dark cave by collecting from limited, scattered coals and avoiding a moth that has no flight but loves light. You can sacrifice coals or hide your flame to help you shake off the moth. Locate and deactivate 3 levers across the level to disable the water turrets that protect the platform that will let you escape.
This is a small student project made as an assignment. It was developed in two weeks with limited knowledge, and is mostly just a prototype, but can be played to completion. If there's interest in the idea, I'll push it further.
