Flame of Hope by Cicero
As the bearer of the red flame, you must reach the deepest of a temple plunged into darkness to summon an ancient god and save your land. There are foes who wish to extinguish the flame and bring destruction to your people. You must to everything you can to keep the blaze alive.

Flame of Hope was meant to be a top-down real-time puzzle game with combat elements. The current version is only a prototype with a single sandbox room. You can move with the arrow keys and use your rod with the C key to catch and use fire. Not all collisions are set, and nothing happens when the character leaves the room.
This game was submitted to Ludum Dare 46 on the theme "Keep it alive".
UPDATE 2023-05-09:
The game was remade with Godot, with more rooms and a throw fireball mechanic. You can play the latest version on itch: https://fluentlystudios.itch.io/flame-of-hope

I also was not able to submit a more complete game...
Also, you can spend time to improve this, if you want.
