Play as a little flame as you work your way up a mountain lighting every torch on your path.
Light all 7 torches on your journey to activate the final torch to complete the game!
Everything but the music was created by me for the first UTAS game jam with the theme "new beginnings".

CHANGE LOG:
Version 1.3.1
Tweaks & Fixes:
- Fixed issue where new record text would reappear after dismissal.
- Fixed issue where a player could clip through a wall.
- Fixed issue where the "Get Ready" splash screen would appear for a single frame after the count down animation concluded.
- Reimplemented the spinning background for the reward screen that was accidently disabled.

Version 1.3.0
New Features:
- Introducing the long awaited Time Trial Mode! Time trial mode has you, the player, start from the base of the mountain, and tasks you to race to the top and complete the game as fast as possible.
- Compete against three times and your own personal best to score the lowest times you can achieve. Simply select the record you want to challenge on the title screen.
- Conquering challenges isn't fruitless however. Unlock new torch materials for each record you crush! Once unlocked, you can choose what ever material you wish to have for your next run. Unlocked torch materials can be used in a standard new game as well.
- Knowing when to reset is key to making the perfect run. You can reset a run through the pause menu, or pressing and holding the new quick reset button. The quick reset button is R on keyboard, back button for xbox, and minus for switch.

Tweaks & Fixes:
- Candles have a slightly reduced hitbox to prevent certain unintentional skips.
- Repositioned water so that it doesn't protrude from cliff face.
- Changed the base material of the torches to a more fitting texture.
- Removed the logo spray at the mountains base.
- Adjusted buttons to be more visually pleasing.

Version 1.2.1:
Tweaks & Fixes:
-Tweaked pause menu so that the overlay expands over the whole screen.

Version 1.2.0:
New Features:
- Title menu has been introduced. Here you can select 'new game' to start fresh, or to continue from a previous game. (Note that any progress made in version 1.1.0 or before has not been preserved.)
- Saving has been introduced. Torch progress is now saved upon activation, and will remain lit in between sessions. Simply select 'continue game' on title menu to continue where you had left off.
- Pause menu has been added. At any time during gameplay, you can pause your session by hitting the enter key, or by using the start button on controllers (menu for xbox one, options for ps4, + for switch).
- Volume sliders have been introduced to customize your volume preferences. You are able to adjust the music volume and sound effect volumes as you please.

Tweaks & Fixes:
- Adjusted difficulty for torches 6 and 7 (Green, and red).
- Tweaked drop light's reach so as to not be distracting when scaling certain environments.
- Fixed issue where player would grow in size shortly after coming into contact with fuel source (candle, torches, etc). Player should organically grow as soon as contact is made with fuel sources.
- Fixed issue where multiple falling sound effects would play in quick succession when falling in some places.


Version 1.1.0:
- Fixed issue where the player can phase through any wall in the game by using some combination of movement and jumping, along with some persistence.
- Tweaked level design past the fourth Torch to replace staircase with precise pillar platforming.
- Tweaked some death-zone placements.
