Campfire

A 2D platformer where you carry a lamp through a forest. As your lamp dies out, you lose vision of your surroundings. Rush from campfire to campfire to keep your lamp alive as you make your way to the end.

Campfire was built with C++ by a team of two programmers. Most of our time (about 48/72 hours) was spent writing the underlying engine code (platform layer, renderer, animation systems, basic lighting, basic collision) and learning how to do pixel art and music (lol). It is more of a technical demo than a game, but we have managed to construct one level to showcase all of the basic mechanics.

All content (art, music, code) by us except for GLFW, stb_image, and XAudio.
Controls are arrow keys to move left and right, and 'c' to jump. Press 'q' to kill your character and restart at the last checkpoint.
