------------------------------Submission for 1-bit Game Jam ------------------------------

Fight Back The Night

This is a 2D fighting game in which you must defeat increasingly difficult levels, plagued by waves of monsters.

There are two game modes:

Defend the Light - you must light the central beacon and defend it from encroaching monsters. Light smaller beacons to lure the monsters away.

Attack the Dark - you must defeat monsters until the timer empties. You can use the various beacons around the map to lure them away from yourself, as the monsters are attracted to the light. This will give you a chance to recharge your flame weapon.


Controls:
WASD/Arrow Keys - Move

Left Click/Q - Fire a short range flamethrower

Right Click/E - Fire a long range burst of powerful fire

Quick Fix: Player no longer gets stuck on walls - will add once game jam is over

Definitely a tougher game but it was still enjoyable! I liked the concept, and also loved being able to distract enemies by lighting the torches on fire. I the sound effects and music were also pretty good and fit with the game. I will say that sticking to the walls was definitely a bit annoying but that's a quite minor issue. Really good game overall! :)

Thanks for the feedback! I've actually just got that sticking to walls fixed now, re-read the rules and I can fix bugs like that so will be doing so once the jam is over!
