What's this, an aprototpyical game where the protagonists turns to the darkness instead of the light????
Yourself, the humble, sweet, single scoop of ice cream is just trying to exist in this world. But the evil, light based enemy wants you to melt into oblivion (just because). Stick to the shadows to avoid the harsh attack of the sun's rays, and do your very best, to survive.
Because the Earth is flat, the sun can orbit it in whichever way it deviously pleases. Using some sort of 3D environment (tbd), use the shadows to move your character away from the sun's light, sticking to the (beautifully rendered using ~complex~ shaders) shadows.
The character can me controlled with the arrow keys I guess. The camera should me able to orbit the character as well such that they have a good understanding of the environment and the direction of the shadows. You lose if your core temperature gets too hot and you melt completely.
I made some SICK assets in the form of a plate, ice cream, and puddle. here.
