An Ember Survives

Wave after wave of monsters is about to crash down upon an alchemical research lab. It's up to you, the lone fire elemental stationed there, to try and defend other alchemists from the onslaught.

There's platforming, fireballs, a goofy number of enemies, etc.

Made for the 2024 Pirate Software game Jam 15

DEV NOTES:

PWYW donations help fund future game development, and also help me make rent (thanks). If you want to play a big role in funding further development work, consider supporting on Patreon. I have a massive rent increase coming in about a month, so I'll be working to improve patreon rewards and better integrate them with itch stuff. I also have merch and a ko-fi.

While I made a point of doing as much art and sound for this as I could, but I am a new solo dev, so there's a few CC0 things. The slimes, coins, and 2-3 sfx are from here. The parallax background is from here. The tileset's by me but uses an extremely helpful free brush from the clip studio marketplace.

The desktop exports aren't playing nice atm and it's 4am so web will have to do for now. I'll try and get desktop versions up soon, full screen web will have to do untill then.
