Under The Lamp

Intro 

Under The Lamp is a 2D Resource Management/Horror game where you consistently try to improve your equipment using collected resources in the hopes of getting closer and closer to your destination each time.

How To Play?

- Use flashlight to collect 'Soft Light' resource

- Using gun, left click to shoot

- Kill enemies to find 'Hard Light' resource

- Prefer 'Recall to Lamp' instead of just walking back because it respawns resources (and also enemies)

- Get to the other end to win

Ravaged By Darkness

The world has lost its light. Yet a glow remains. Will you reach the other end and embody light, or will you perish by the hands of darkness?

Better Your Gear

Under the lamp, use your resources wisely to improve your equipment with each run.

Promises of The Future

What lies on the other end, is a promise of heavens. Get to the other side, no matter what it takes.

Keep Your Eyes Peeled

Keep your eyes peeled and flashlights pointed, for the creatures of dark blend into this hopeless, sunless world.

Tips & Tricks

- If you are out of bullets, run back a little, and once a safe distance away from nearest enemy, recall.

- Investing in bullets initially is a good idea, as that allows you to collect Hard Light and have longer run.

- Enemies are completely dark, and hence blend in if you do not use your flashlight to spot them. With higher level flashlights, you can spot enemies from a good distance by noticing their pitch black color compared to other trees.

- Enemies may be almost invisible in the dark, but you'll be able to find out if they are in pursuit if they have an orange highlight around their head. A read highlight would mean you are in attack range.

- You lose nothing by recalling or dying, you just have to start from base again, so relax, the game is intended to be played over a course of 15 - 30 mins by doing multiple runs and recalling back to base to upgrade items.

Your Feedback

We are a group of two friends, participating in game jams for fun. We highly value feedback as it has helped us evolve exponentially over our past two game jams (we always participate in UJG in the summers). 

We would really appreciate if you can leave some feedback on what you liked, what you disliked, and how it can be improved.

And of course, none of your feedback will be taken 'lightly'  :)

Thank you for playing!
