A prototype in one level

Emberline

Carry the fire through the ice.

How to play

Drag anywhere to walk. Your lantern fires on its own.
Golems carry torches. Bring one down and pick up what it drops.
Stand in a brazier ring to spend torches: one lights a fire, two and then three strengthen it, and each step takes longer.
Fire is your ground. It thaws the earth, shoots, slows enemies and heals you. Stray far from it and the cold bites.
Watch your back. Enemies rise from the ice ahead and drop from the cliffs beside and behind you.
Green gates help. Red gates hurt, so steer around them.
The gap is sealed until the Warden falls. Get through before it freezes shut.
Falling is expected. Embers make the next run stronger.
