Last Light - Prototype

This game was created in 72 hours for Mini Jam 160 - https://itch.io/jam/mini-jam-160-light. Most assets premade, everything else done by me.

Theme: Light

Limitation: Speed

Darkness has almost won...

You are in possession of the last source of hope and fire in the world - the Last Light. The forces of darkness rush in from all sides, eager to snuff it out forever. You must protect it for as long as possible.

Kill vile undead!

A horde of skeletons rush you, be mindful of their differences in power and behaviour -

• Skeleton : A basic mob, dies in one hit but spawns in vast numbers.
• Warrior: Tougher and meaner, they wont go down easy.
• Rogue: Fast and dangerous, dealing double damage!
• Wizard: Strong but slow, these mages will launch energy blasts at you when close enough, and take many hits before they go down

Recieve powerful upgrades!

As you fight, your power will grow to help survive and cut down the hordes of undead. Experiment with four different weapons with various strengths and weaknesses-

• Fire Blast: Click to engulf your enemies in flame!
• Autolaser: Automatically zap the nearest enemy!
• Plasma Shot: Fire a ball of energy towards your mouse!
• Thunder Strike: Blast a random enemy and those around them!

Starting with one random weapon, with each level up comes a chance for a new weapon, an upgrade to your arsenal, or a stat boost; reduced damage, increased speed, larger AOEs, multi-shot lasers, and more!

Sustain the light!

Your light is your health bar. Enemies that hit you will try to snuff it out, reducing your health and visiblity. Additionally, your fuel is running out, and the light is constantly draining. Replenish it at torches burning around the world, but be warned - every time you siphon a torchs' light, it will take longer and longer to relight.

Speed is Key!

Constant motion is essential to survival. Your enemies are relentless, their pursuit unending and their numbers ever-growing. Increase your speed to evade them and make it to the next torch before the light fades for good.

Track progress, try to beat your high score and claim achievement ranks, tracking best kills, level reached, and time survived!
