Jon 'Wick'

Game Description

The Origin of the Descent Every 300 years, the Frozen Snowmen people rise to extinguish the Beacon of Hope, plunging the town of candle-people into eternal frost. You are Jon 'Wick', a retired candle military general with nothing left but a burning vengeance for his family.

Your mission is simple but suicidal: scale the 9 spirals of the Tower of Babel and sacrifice your inner flame to reignite the beacon before the rising ice consumes the world.

Core Mechanics & The Heat Spectrum

In this fast-paced action-platformer, your life is your ammunition.

• Move to Survive: Your Heat Meter is linked to your movement—staying still means freezing to death.
• The Stealth Duality: Your visibility to the Frozen Snowmen shifts with your temperature.
  • Yellow (Ghost Mode): At stable heat, you are invisible to enemies.
  • Blue/Red (Alert Mode): Extremes in temperature make you a target for the relentless barrage.
• Heat Recoil: Use the kinetic force of your fireballs to boost your movement speed while backing away from threats.

The Genesis 5 Connection

Developed for the Genesis 5 Game Jam. This project explores the theme of Duality through the lens of elemental conflict (Fire vs. Ice) and mechanical paradox (Moving to live vs. Spending life to fight).
