Wickdeep

Wickdeep is a torch-descent game for the browser: carry a torch down into the dark, and tap to fan the flame. Every spark of light is both your health and your only currency. Descend — deeper embers are richer, but the cold eats your flame. Spend light on Wick, Oil, Hood, Ward and Stride, knowing every purchase dims you a little. Eyes gather at the edge of your glow; tap them to scare them off.

The descent passes through named depths — The Mouth, Drip Caves, The Hollows, Frostroot, and, maybe, the Cinder Core. Rekindle to start over with Cinders that make every flame burn brighter. It is idle-friendly: your torch smoulders while you're away, progress auto-saves, and a calm mode removes the flicker. It plays in the browser on phone and desktop, one thumb, and was made for AI Browser Game Jam 5 (theme: TORCH).

The author's AI disclosure is on the game page: "AI usage: design, code, balancing and procedural graphics were generated with an AI coding assistant (Grok Bot), directed by Enoch. Audio: procedural Web Audio; soundtrack by an AI music agent. No third-party assets." The jam submission page adds that it is a single-file HTML5 Canvas game. The entry was submitted to AI Browser Game Jam 5 in October 2026 and is free to play in the browser.
