You are given a heavy responsibility to start from your village. The surrounding environment is cold and dark. You can only rely on a few matches at hand, using them to illuminate your road, avoid danger, and move forward to your destination.

This is not a horror game.

Controls:

Press A/D to move left and right. 

Press the Space bar to jump. 

Press the left Shift key to light the match. 

Press R to restart the level.

Press N to skip to the next level

Information

This is the most content-rich game I have ever made, including four levels. It's a little bit hard. I estimate that it takes 15~30 min to finish the game.

This game is a submission of the Ukraine Winter game jam. It takes third place in the jam! Thank everyone who participates and holds the jam : )

 I updated the game on 3/31, and now the version with audio and level-skipping function is available. There will be more updates next month. Be expecting!

I draw the main character and some of the traps, but I also used many free game assets, here are the sources of them:

The sound and music was fantastic for the feeling. I really enjoyed the little touches. I didn't make it past the forth? level

The grunt/growl was the only one that kind of broke the immersion. It could just be the mixing on it.

thanks for your feedback 🙏
