Grab the Torches

This small game was made for Godot Wild Jam 56!

Summary

Keep the monster away from the village and chase him into the cage with your torch wielding villagers, but watch out, your torches have a limited lifespan and getting a new one takes a long time!

Controls

Click the villagers and drag to set a move path

Tips/Hints

• You can force a villager to replace their torch early by moving them to the torch box
• The monster is slightly less scared of low burning torches
• A single villager can hold the monster in a corner
• The closer the monster gets to the village the harder it is to repel it
• The monster doesn't like the cage either!
• Teamwork wins the day!

Meta

• This was made by me and my fiancée. She did the art, and I did the coding/sound/design. We had a lot of fun working on this project. It was our first game in Godot and our first time working on a game together!
• This was a great way to learn the Godot (4.0) engine.
• Its got some fundamental design problems we didn't have time to iron out. Its a bit unfair, but we promise it is possible to win.
