Ludum Dare theme 46: Keep it alive

Prometheus, don't let the fire fade, find shelter!

Description: Short atmospheric linear game made for Ludum Dare 46​, that I created to hone my atmosphere and visual style crafting (most models are Synty, but keeping graphics rating on for the visual style).

*Inspired by Inside and Greek primordial mythology. *

BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD: there is an enemy eagle in version 1.0, that does not load in some instances, as one tester found out. In normal cases you have to defend with the spacebar, or the eagle hits you and damages your hp.

An interesting game! It looks incredible! I could totally see this getting more mechanics later on.

Nice job with the mood!

Was reaching the people the end of the game? For me it just stopped there.

@nsadie yes, I hope they chanted "Hail Prometheus" as they are supposed to :D I focused mainly on the mood, gameplay or length wasn't that important, so thank you!!

a sidescroller with easy controller reminded me a bit of a scene in "journey"

I had fun with this game, it's short, maybe in the future you could add more enemies, different landscapes. The graphics are cool, I enjoy these low-poly styles :D The eagles sometimes got stuck in me, but overall it was a fun game!

Great atmosphere. 3D modeling is nice, and the fire fx is very cool.

With more content, and an increasing difficulty the game will be very fun. Maybe add more mechanics, ex : jump to avoid some obstacles ?

Good job.

Nice little game. The highlight was definitively the mood (graphics and sounds). I did not understood what "reload" was suppose to do. I would have liked a bit of diversity in the challenge. Good work overall!

the atmosphere is great, at first it was difficult for me to find the health indicator, but I understood it quickly, short and fun

Game looks cool but it felt like nothing was happening. I was just running for ages and then I met a few people and that was it. After the first game I tried running around to see if anything was chasing me or if I stood still to let the fire go out but for me there wasn't enough visual or player feedback.

Visuals are nice though and I liked the rain sound

This was a cool game! I really enjoyed the visual style and the mood that you set up with the ambient audio as well. I think more gameplay would suit this game really well, and further development of the story that you presented would be super cool too! Overall I enjoyed it, well done!
