I released my new game Beaconlit for the GMTK 2026 Game Jam. You can play it in the browser or download the game. Consider checking it out!

Beaconlit is a game about speed. The task is simple, go in, collect all the beacons, and complete the level. However you are not doing this alone. The Flame starts with you, every 5 seconds, it gets faster. The Flame does not care for walls, it is coming to you no matter what you do, and you can only outrun it for so long. Complete a level, and you get to continue on with your points and make the decision on if you want to continue the run or not. Continue the run, and you get to pick a modifier to add to your run, multiplying the points you get. A modifier can be a new entity, a buff, or something else entirely?

The game is about your movement, The Flame only gets harder to avoid the longer you take, so always stay focused on the goal. Die, and your run is over, however death will also lose you 20% of your points, for not ending the run yourself when you had the chance
