Lighthouse Of Better Days
A downloadable game for Windows
Once upon a time, there was a lighthouse. Like other lighthouses, it warned passing ships of danger. But this was no ordinary lighthouse...
For ships crossing through the stormy straights of despair, the lighthouse beamed the hope of better days ahead.
This game takes about 5-10 minutes to play through and should leave you feeling a little more hopeful than before.
Made for the A Game By Its Cover 2021 Game Jam. Inspired by Paul O'Leary McCann's Lighthouse Famicase cover (@polm23 on Twitter):

The game's music really sells the game. It also helps that the concept of the game is fairly simple as well. Nice job. I'm feeling a bit more hopeful. XD

Really pretty game! The thunder happening when you run out of hope was a nice touch.
That song is indeed made for your game.
