Solais (LD46)

What Lies Within…?

Delve into some ancient ruins following a mysterious voice, but watch out for the encroaching darkness! Keep your torch lit via passing flames and reaching checkpoints as you descend deeper. Avoid spikes, watch out for dowsing waterfalls, master difficult platforming and discover the ancient secret within!

Fairly tricky platforming, so congratulations if you manage to reach the end! Your time will be displayed on completion too if y’fancy speedrunning it!

Dev Notes Kept this one fairly straightforward this time. Liked the idea of keeping a flame alive keeping a tense pace through the platforming. Game’s probably waaay too difficult so if you manage to complete it Congrats! :D
