How does your game fit the theme?
This 'bunker' has only one lightsource and it is nothing more than a single candle. It's fragile and it's temporary so make good use of it. Let the candle light your way, but protect the flame from it's natural predators: water, wind, loneliness... Enkindle is a short, first person, puzzle game, with some horror elements, and a couple little goofs.

Light & Darkness is integrated by use of the candle, that represents the last piece of light in an otherwise dark environment. Keeping that light alive is the main aspect and of great importance (in the game, and in real life)!

I cheesed it at first with the end door not having a collider, but then i did i properly and collected all 4 of the "artifacts".

I loved the umbrella on the candle 100/10 from me on that.

Developer

Glad to hear you licked that goofy gimmick! ;)

Host

Nice concept that you need to take care of the candle to protect from wind and water etc.
Also the little puzzles were fun.
Did walk the first time through the door to the end but read it was a collider problem :-)
Visual style was pleasing and with the sound it had an "eerie" ambiance. That was well done.
Theme checked.
Overall a good job and fun jam entry!

Developer

beautiful game - an excellent implementation of the themes of the jam.  i wasn't sure what to do in the dining room, but i assumed it had something to do with the painting.  anyway, great job!  wonderful atmosphere   🔥

Thanks for the feedback! Indeed the dining room has something to do with the painting ;) (look at the table on the painting!)

I like the idea of going around with a candle and stuff like Wind being a major enemy.

Thanks for the feedback! Glad the idea came through :)

I really liked your game, good atmosphere, 3d graphics, creepy voice, and overall a very creepy game, I like how you implemented the theme, it's much better than a typical 2d platformer. But I found a critical bug - the main green door without a collider, I was able to go through it right at the beginning and finish the game

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! We unfortunately found that bug just a little over the deadline, oops! ;)
