Ruins of Korz
Our first project, made for the weekly game jam 144 whose theme was "in the dark"
Story:
Long ago, there was a dwarven kingdom called Korz. Like most dwarves, Korzians were diggers and treasure collectors. Alas, one day, the korzians dug too deep into the mountain, and let grues, terrible creatures of darkness that feed on anything that isn’t one of their own, enter their city, forcing the dwarves to flee.
But grue eggs are precious things, and so you decided to go back to the korz’ ruins in order to get some. Be wary though, as your torch will only last so long.
Goal:
get the eggs to gain points. Your torch will run out as you move, but you can find more torches that the dwarves left behind. You must get through 4 levels and find the elevator that the dwarves left downstairs to exit.
You'll have 10 steps after your torch stops bruning before being eaten by a grue.

You are not guaranteed to have a route to an exit. You can't go through walls, so you frequently just have no options but to wait til your torch runs out and die.
The game is pretty hard! Good work
BTW what's with the font's resolution? Haard to read
Thanks a lot!
The font issue comes from the fact that to achieve a more pixelated look on the graphics IG, we used a 640*360 base viewport that we stretched to 1280*720. I didn't really think through the text situation, hence making it quite ugly indeed.
I'll find correction/better ways to do stuff next time! thanks again for the feedback!
