Blind Thicket

Submission for Koni's Spring Jam 2026

Theme usage: The game is centered around a forest where plants have been affected by the disappearance of the sun. The player controls a pumpkin character, representing plant life, and explores the environment to restore light by making the sun rise again.

Move through the thicket. Follow the overgrown paths and uncover ancient artifacts hidden across the forest, unlocking new abilities along the way. You’ll need them to get through tricky terrain and bring light back to where it’s been lost.

 Make the Sun Rise again.

Huge thanks to @Koni for hosting the jam! It was very fun :D
Also a big thank you to @R0cco for helping with the music :>

Please don't be hesitant to leave a comment! Feedback is appreciated greatly!

P.S.
Don't judge this one too hard lol, I was dealing with my exams for half of the jam period so it came off a bit rushed and unpolished in some areas. But I hope you guys enjoy it nonetheless.
