The Flamekeeper

The Flamekeeper is a isometric 2D game, where you, the Flamekeeper, have to protect the sacred flame from the fire hating water slimes.

Fight against infinite waves of water slimes that want to extinguish the flames that you sworn to protect!

This project was fruit of a college GameJam where the theme was "you are the power source". In The Flamekeeper, we embraced the theme both symbolically and mechanically.

You play as a fire mage — the last spark of energy in a world slowly falling into darkness. You are the only one capable of lighting and maintaining campfires, which are essential to hold back the cold and the void.

With each wave, more campfires spawn and begin to burn out over time, while enemies known as Water Slimes try to extinguish them. You must keep as many fires lit as possible — if too many are extinguished at the end of the wave, the game ends.

The growing challenge reflects the central idea: you are the light, the warmth, and the source of power that keeps everything alive.
