Arderephobia
Made for the GMTK game jam 2024,
You play as a living flame and your goal is to get as low as possible before you get burned out.
Keyboard:WASD to move, Mouse to look and Shoot
Controller:Left stick to move, Right Stick to look around, A for menus, Right trigger to shoot.
I post smaller things more often on GJ so if you want to see some smaller projects or demos I made check out : https://gamejolt.com/@Obviousalexc/games

huge potential, hope you'll expand on it
Just made a blog post about that :)
Another great turbowarp game! By the way, is there a meaning for arderephobia?
Fear of burning.
Ardere is to burn in latin.
really like the aesthetics!!
Spoooky! And having you get closer to the floor as the flame goes out is a great touch. Great game!
The fact that this is a scratch project is really impressive to me
Incredible atmosphere and ambience. Might be my favourite submission I have seen thus far.
Atmospheric game!
Sounds and vibe are super!
As other mentioned - it seems like it's better to evade combat and run for the exit. As level progressed your player have a lot of disadvanteges as lower speed and reduced vision because of height which makes late game a little less rewarding as start.
But it has it's charm. Looks and plays very nice and polished! Definitely worth to play!
I'll try to balance that out after the voting process and the jam have ended, thanks for playing!
Super impressive!
Nice vibe and lovely art style! I like the concept as well. Congrat
Great styling, well polished, feels like avoiding combat is a bit too advantageous or combat isnt rewarding enough. Could definitely be expanded and turned into a full game though.
Love the aesthetic! Using your flame to light up dark areas at the cost of some life is a fantastic mechanic!
really cool artstyle very spooky and fun, although I feel a bit too slow on later levels
I like the artstyle and the gameplay,i got to floor 4 .Like the atmosphere ,the sounds help create it a lot.
very fun game. I got to floor 9.
Great Game!!
