-----------LORE----------

During the 7th rebellion between the lower castes of the Lampshade society and the Emperor, a lonely Lampion is trying to leave what one day was his home to somewhere safe, but the only way he have to possibly have a chance in doing this is to give up even his very own body, doing this he was able not just to posses dead lampion's corpses but reanimate or "reignite" some of the warriors bodies that was in the wreckage in his way.

Using his new strange ability he will do whatever he can in order to escape this terror to never look back.

----------THE LAMPSHADE ANTHOLOGY----------

The Lampshade Anthology is an anthology of games that I develop, during game jams, that is part of the same universe, and in the future soon, I want to release a full game based in this universe, so if you want, when this game is already released you can check all of the games of this anthology to know even more of this world and its characters!

-----------JAM NOTES-----------

I really loved the core concept of this game, the idea of the lampion shoots his own life to take another body is the best part of the game for me... But, I think when I tried to expend this idea with the reanimated bodies I think I wasn't able to create interesting mechanics with it (during the jam time) to justify this mechanic, and was already too late for me to throw it away and just use the core mechanic of the lampion shoots its own soul, because I didn't have any kind of danger or element in the game to create the level design beyond the reanimated bodies...

So I decided to let for you guys to judge if this mechanics was good or not, I really liked the core concept of the lampion and I think I will implement it in a future game!

BROWSER NOTES: There is still some bugs in the browser version that I'm looking into solve them, when you die in the water drops the game may crash, this can be mitigate if you stay a little time in the level each life. The downloadable versions runs better in this aspects and doesn't have this bug. [THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED, IF THE ERROR PERSISTS PLEASE TELL ME]
