The Dark by XeduR
The Dark is my COMPO entry for Ludum Dare 46. The theme is "Keep it alive".
The goal of the game is to simply keep the fire and yourself alive for as long as you can in the cold and dark winter night.

Good job!
I feel like the sound clip you used doesn't match the mood of the game tho (it's kind of 8-bit ish, I would have prefered something more organic).
Sadly the level is a bit too dark for my screen.
Yeah, I ran out of time and didn't have the time to add any background/ambient music to add to the effect. All I had time to do was add 3 Bfxr "beeps". :D
I had an idea for adding many more gameplay mechanics, but as I realised I wouldn't have the time to implement them I just had to heartlessly cut them out. I barely had the time to draw and animate the character and I even forgot to add the lantern to his hand. :D
Here is my attempt:
