Lantern Light

This game was made for the GMTK 2026 Game Jam
Theme = Count Down
This is our first EVER game jam!
Game Info
Help Clara escape the dark woods by collecting wisps to fill the forest guardian lamp. But watch out for the shadows! Run and hide (bravely, of course) to evade the shadows and avoid becoming a tasty snack.
You can only hold one wisp in your lantern at a time, so be strategic with which ones you grab first. For every wisp you collect another shadow will spawn!

I like the concept. It's kind of a more strategic and better looking Ms. Pac Man. I'm not sure if there is a run function but I think experimenting with a slightly faster walk or dash (as a powerup) might be fun.
the art is adorable this is such a cute game
Thank you!! :)
