First LightBulb

The sun is dead. The city is dark. And Sir Bulbinson has just invented the light bulb.

Carry the world's first light through the remains of a city swallowed by darkness, following the distant toll of the church bell tower.

Your bulb lets you see the road ahead and keeps the things in the dark at bay, but its charge won't last forever. Turn it off to conserve power, leave it behind when you need to, and navigate by the echoes of your own footsteps when darkness becomes unavoidable.

THIS IS A PROTOTYPE MADE FOR THE NIMBLE GAME JAM, IT IS NOT A COMPLETE PLAYTESTED GAME AND MIGHT CONTAIN BUGS AND POOR LEVEL DESIGN CHOICES.

I might continue working on it though.
