NocturnalisMechanicus’s jam shooter
FEED THE LIVING FLAME is NocturnalisMechanicus’s game on itch.io. The creator says it was made for a 2026 game jam with the theme “Dying Will Be The Death Of Me.” The listing identifies it as a shooter and provides HTML5 and Windows formats.
This reference uses the creator’s short published instructions. Nisu has not played the game or tested either format.
The published inputs are movement and shooting
Use either movement set listed below and one of the two published shooting inputs. The checked description does not specify a separate aim key or a keyboard shortcut for adding fuel.
| Task | Published input |
|---|---|
| Move | WASD or Arrow Keys. |
| Shoot | Left mouse button or E. |
Fuel is the stated survival premise
The creator describes extending the character’s lifespan by adding fuel to the living flame. The page does not explain where fuel comes from, what a fuel item looks like, or exactly how shooting connects to that objective.
Those gaps are left open here. No pickup route, survival-time formula, enemy pattern or “best” strategy is presented as verified. Use the current game’s prompts for details beyond the two actions the author documents.
Browser and download are separate listed formats
The page lists HTML5 and Windows, but that alone does not establish a phone control layout, a save system or a cross-device transfer feature. This guide does not require a download to read the controls.
If a control is unclear, first compare the current game’s prompt with the published input table. Do not assume an undocumented restart, pause or fuel key from another shooter.
