A downloadable experience for Windows

A GMTK Game Jam 2023 entry.

What is Torch?

Torch is a 2D survival game akin to Terraria. However, your goal is not to explore, cultivate, and conquer the game world; rather you are the game itself, fighting the player back from progressing. 

10+ endings!

In Torch, you utilize three different cards (Fall, Drench, and Combust) in order to sabotage the player in their pursuit of the ultimate goal of the game: creating and lighting torch. Gripping, I know, but you can discover numerous ways to prevent the player from achieving this monumental task; each awarding a different ending. Have fun discovering each one!

How to Play

Left-click and drag cards over game objects to act upon them with the power of the selected card. R to reset, ESC to return to main menu.

I cant believe I have to burn my favorite coworker from MSFT alive. 10/10 would recommend.

Loved the brawl reference, intuitive gameplay (I knew exactly what to do after booting it up), hilarious endings, and a great concept. Im still trying to get the last ending. Really impressed by this 

This game is GOTY
