Sparkchild
As a child of flame, you must protect the last fire. Fight against waves of enemies and upgrade your spark.
Tutorial:
WASD - Move
Click/Hold click - Shoot
Mouse - Aim
In order to shoot, the spark (player) must stay within a warm zone, such as around the center campfire. But in order to gather XP dropped by enemies, you must leave your comfort zone and pick up the orbs. Every level up, you'll be given a choice between 3 random upgrades to empower your spark into a force to be reckoned with.
Features:
- 8 upgrades to discover
- 4 completely unique enemies
- Scaling difficulty

Very fun, health regeneration is needed!
fun! great art and polish. The moving is a little clunky, I didn't feel quite in control of my character. with the strict movement restrictions (always around the light) I kinda wish my attack was automatic like vampire, this would let me focus more on dodging and staying near the fire.
This some kinda f.. Nah, joke aside such a creative idea, love it!
Please add something that regenerates your health. I find it really hard to survive once those dashing enemies spawn. Other than that it's a great game.
could you add a thing explaining the upgrades and what they do?
Beautiful game! It's amazing you made this in 48 hours, this feels so well polished.
resolution... I had to zoom out to play the game and cant see my xp or life points without making it too small... a full screen option would be nice... tho am not sure if that is your fault... great game tho :)
RAGE GAME FOUND
Great game, I say work on it more, it has huge potential! If you would like to help with graphics or music, email me@deight.eu
i feel like half the upgrades do nothin
the controls are a bit clunky but other than that great game
i love this game, but i feel like the enemies are wayyyy too fast, and i still have no clue how the campfire stuff works even afetr reading the desc. maybe im just stupid lol
awesome game, the player movement feels really weird at first but after some time it started to feel good.
the game feels great to play!!
Thanks! Glad you think so.
love the art
Thanks!
love this so much, recently watched the devlog on youtube and i was really impressed!!!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
Great game
Thank you!
One of the best Jam games I've played in a while! It's a ton of fun and really impressive to see it built in such a short time frame. Great work! <3
Thank you very much! Comments like this keep me motivated ♥️
great work!! would love to collab with you in the future jam
really fun game. if you don't mind me asking how did you learn how to code this game. im just starting to get into unity but i am having a hard time coding. any advise?
My advice would be to check out the popular Unity channels on YouTube. Examples include AdamCYounis, Brackeys, and BlackThornProd. These channels have plenty of tutorials on everything you can imagine. Make sure to make it along with them, not just copy but try to understand what you're doing and why. Eventually you'll reach a point where you understand the basic parts of development with Unity and you'll feel the unmatched sense of freedom and power of creation :)
even after watching your youtube video im not sure what the upgrades do.
Spark seems to be a weaker projectile
gasoline seems to increase my power and the game speed
oil im not sure
timber is a health upgrade
meteor increases the size but it only seems to work once? with no power upgrade?
i have no idea what tent does
This game is absolute masterpiece but it needs a lot of balancing and fixing few minor bugs to make it a bit more playable.
My high score is 9800 btw (I got it like 5 times in a row)
Yeah I know it's not very balanced. I'd love to go back and update it, but to be honest I likely won't because I move on to other projects quickly. Thanks for the feedback, though! And nice high score!
Amazing game! My high score is 8000 ;)
Woah that's impressive!
Congrats man, you're very good!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
i loved the game and the pixel art . its very good :)
great game! definitely has the potential to be a commercial game
