A candle with gun boots falls into a pitch-black well. Your light is your life - feed the flame, or the dark wins.
A candle's descent into the dark
You are a tiny candle with gun boots, falling into a very dark well. Your flame is the only light down there - and it is also your life.
Stomp monsters by landing on them. Press jump in mid-air to fire your boots straight down: every shot slows your fall. Chain kills before you touch the ground for big combos, collect embers until you BLAZE, and choose an Ember of Power after every level. How deep can your little light go?

Light is life
- Your flame slowly burns down, and every hit costs a quarter of it
- The lower it burns, the smaller your candle and the less of the well you can see
- Embers, kills and combos feed it - land a 15+ combo for a big relight
- Blaze stops the burning for a while. Don't dawdle in the dark

Summary:
A candle with gun boots falls into a pitch-black well. Your light is your life - feed the flame, or the dark wins.
Description:
Emberfall is a tiny arcade roguelite about a candle with gun boots falling into a very dark well.
Your flame is your life. It slowly burns down, every hit costs a quarter of it, and the lower it burns the less of the dark you can see. Feed it with embers, kills and combos - or the dark wins.
Stomp monsters by landing on them. Press jump in mid-air to fire your gun boots straight down - every shot slows your fall. Chain kills before you touch the ground for combos, collect embers until you BLAZE, and pick an Ember of Power after every level.
Features
- Light is life: your flame is health, timer and vision at once
- Stomp, shoot and bounce your way down, with air combos that pay out embers, ammo and flame
- 7 gun boots: Spark, Scatter, Stream, Lance, Nova, Twin and Seeker
- 25 Embers of Power, plus shops run by the Lamplighter
- 4 zones with their own rules - The Shaft, Mushroom Hollow (bouncy), Frost Veins (crumbling ice), The Furnace (lava)
- A boss waiting at the heart of the dark, then endless mode
- Daily Dive: the same seed for everyone, every day
- 8 unlockable art styles, from warm Ember to one-bit Noir, Gloomboy, Arcade and Vapor
- Hand-typed pixel art, real-time dithered lighting and a fully synthesized chiptune soundtrack
Controls
A / D or arrows move. Space (or W / Up / Z) jumps - in the air it fires your boots. S / Down drops through ledges and talks to the shopkeeper. Esc or P pauses. Gamepad supported.
Single player. Everything you see and hear is made by the game itself - no generative AI was used for art or sound.
