This release includes some completely new gameplay!

Instead of just swinging your lantern at the lamps to light them, you now carry a light cane.

To light a lamp, you must:

1. Press use-lantern and use-cane at the same time to light the cane. (Requires fuel.)
2. Press use-cane to swing your lit cane at the unlit lamp. Be quick, the cane doesn’t stay lit for too long!

The goal here–and I’m still tweaking this–is to be able to conserve fuel by using a single cane-light to light multiple lamps. Clever management will keep your lantern on and net you more pay from the boss!

The other cool thing this enabled on the backend is checking for which item is interacting with various objects. You can refill your lantern at a well, but what if you swing your cane at it? Things like that–none of which are implemented yet. That’s next, along with a new set of test levels, I think.

Controls on the game page are updated to reflect the new abilities. Let me know if you think this is a fun way to play. Thanks for reading and thanks for playing!
