You awake in a strange forest with no recollection of how you got there. Your lantern protects you, but don't let it go out, unless you want a new, very short lived friendship.

The transmute screen does not show the inventory or requirements for upgrading in the browser... super cool. Here are the upgrade requirements, note that it's not required to get all of them to finish the game:
1: Green
2: Blue
3: Green Blue
4: Orange
5: Green Orange
6: Green Blue Orange
7: Purple
8: Blue Orange Purple

I am very very annoyed that they aren't showing up.


Created for the 7/17 Pirate Software "Shadows and Alchemy" Game Jam.

Download the game for neat particle effects and better lighting.


Controls:

Arrow keys/WASD/gamepad LS to move

Collect the smaller lights scattered around to add some time to your lantern. Return with these to the pink flame (transmutation flame) to upgrade your lantern and make it last longer. If your lantern goes out the monster can get you.

Stand in the light of the crystals to gain protection from the dark and refill your lantern, but don't linger for too long or some of your lights will be destroyed.

Find the exit to the East and don't die.
