Spirit Path by marcell-balog
Hi all. This is my first jam and finally the first ever game that I've finished.
So let me present you Spirit Path, an adventure game, where you are playing as a flame spirit, liberating and guiding imprisoned flames, while trying to find the way to the door of eternity in the unsteady labyrinth of the void.

In this game I used the "Start with nothing" theme as a concept of the map. You start the journey on a single block, and as you begin to move forward, the map, too, begins to reveal itself more and more to your eyes.

There are overall 16 little flames waiting for you to free (they will follow you till you arive to a cresset). If you reach the end, an end screen will pop up, with your stats about the collectibles found. Tell me how many flames you've discovered!:)
๐๐จ๐ญ๐: The audio volume can be low compared to other games. You may try increasing browser volume if you can't hear sounds.
Programs used: - Unity, (VS) - MagicaVoxel - FlStudio - AudaCity
The game was fully made from scratch for the compo.
๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐ญ๐จ๐ง๐ฌ: I intentionally didn't add any instructions, but they should be pretty self-evident, I hope. If you are still feeling lost, try spamming "๐" key or ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐๐ at boxes.
ChangeLog: - Update#1: The checkpoint bug is fixed! You can now respawn correctly. - Update#2: Fixed the issues with ghost navigations (stucking in one place). - ๐ฃ๐ผ๐๐-๐๐ฎ๐บ ๐จ๐ฝ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ:: ๐๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฎ ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐ด๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ๐บ๐ผ๐ฑ๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐น ๐บ๐ฎ๐ฝ ๐ด๐ฒ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป. ๐ก๐ผ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ผ๐ผ ๐๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐ด๐ต, ๐ท๐๐๐ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ณ๐๐ป.

I can confirm that death can put you in a falling loop in which you can't actually keep playing, too bad because I was really enjoying the atmosphere until I could not play anymore.
I restarted a couple of times but it became annoying in the end.
Overall great effort here!
great game, congrats on the work well done!
It would be fun to mess around with more puzzles in the game setting, instead of just wandering around and hoping a path shows up! But none the less, was a great concept! Keep working on it!
The only downside I could find is that the character is maybe a little bit too slow.
A little bit more speed would have make the game more challenging I think :)
I wasn't quite sure what to do with the imprisoned flames, since I would die and they wouldn't be there anymore, but they were still fun to find and collect. I think if there was some ominous story text every so often, that could really add to the who this fire spirit is and their story through the underworld.
Super cool, I had a lot of fun playing!
Well done to you.
Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my livestream!
