A Walk in the Dark

A Walk in the Dark is a short 2D-Platformer about a fire sprite named Coal trying to navigate from bonfire to bonfire through their dark and unfamiliar surroundings. Getting to a bonfire will light up the level. A Walk in the Dark does have a story. Coal is trying to explore the dungeon they find themselves in. While exploring, they come across an adventurer who is asleep in the dungeon. This adventurer is very cold, and will likely freeze if nothing is done. Coal decides to gather materials from around the dungeon to make a small fire to help the adventurer. After Coal builds the fire, the adventurer wakes up and is so moved by Coal's selflessness and compassion. They become friends and decide to explore the rest of this dungeon together, after a good night's sleep of course.

Use the left and right arrow keys to move, and the up arrow key to jump. You can press the spacebar to "expend" some of your flame to light up your surroundings.
