Flicker in the Dark

The Game

Flicker in the Dark is a  top-down survival game in a semi fantasy world. The objective is to light 4 pillars while keeping your little fire spirit alive. 

To keep your fire going you can collect wood to throw it into the fire, upgrade it with rocks and protect it against mages. Be careful, because the mages can kill you to! 

While walking around you can find multiple point of interests. On one of them you can find an axe, which you will need to chop wood or defeat the mages. Defeating the mages can also be done with a stick. On the others you can find roses. You will need these to light the pillars. Throw each of them in a different pillar and you win the game!
