Rekindle | Ludum Dare 51
SUMMARY
In this gripping platformer game, players join a unique protagonist who faces a formidable challenge: a heart condition that counts down his remaining heartbeats, injecting urgency into the gameplay. Compounding this, the character wrestles with recurring nightmares featuring menacing monsters and darkness, both of which directly affect his heart condition by increasing his heart rate. Traditional monster-battling approaches won't work, requiring players to rely on skillful maneuvering and strategic choices to advance.
The ultimate objective of this platformer adventure is to lead the character through treacherous dreamscapes, reaching each level's end to break the cycle of recurring nightmares. This narrative twist adds an emotional dimension to the game, prompting players not only to pursue victory but also to alleviate the character's suffering. The platformer offers an immersive experience that blends challenging gameplay with a captivating storyline.

Omg, lemme just say, I love this concept so much!! The simple pixel art is beautiful, kinda reminds me of Limbo and Celeste....I think if this game could be pushed further, it could have so much potential!! Keep it up!!
Only issue that I have is with the jump button...isn't really clear whether it's supposed to work as a jump button or as a climb button, so I'd say it'd be nice if u guys worked on that! :)
Thank you so much for playing and giving feedbacks! We made it for game jam with such a little time constraint, but we really love the concept too!
Nice concept! :3
Thank you!!
