Deliver the torch and keep the fire alive!

Thunder is roaring and heavy rain clouds cover the sky. Four unlikely heroes light up their torches to fight the darkness with bright colors. But the rain threatens to extinguish the flames on their blazing journey around the world…

Will you deliver the torch to its destination and ignite the fireworks? Be quick, pass on the flame, don’t let anything stand in your way and don’t let the clouds catch up with you!

Light My Fire is a sidescrolling jump and run game.

Disclaimer: No torch carrier was set on fire more than once during game development.

Controls

You can play using arrow keys or WASD.

Jump: ↑ or W

Slide: ↓ or S

Slow down: ← or A

Attack: Space or Q

The rain cloud constantly chases you. Hitting an obstacle or running into a moving creature slows you down. Jump on platforms, slide below obstacles and use your flame attack to clear your path in case of emergency. (Theoretically, you can also use your flame attack to set everything in your way on fire. Unfortunately, this wastes your torch and it will burn down very quickly.)

When the rain cloud catches up with you or when your torch has burned down, you lose the game.

Unfortunately, Santa was too slow and didn’t make it into the game. Be gentle with him. He is an old man.

For some reason the game loads quite slowly when using chrome under macOS. If you use this configuration, you will need to let it load a bit longer to get going. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Changelog

We increased the duration of our cutscenes so that people can read them fully.

Fixed a bug where the game would not load under macOS in chrome.
