Flares are used to light up dark levels. They are obtained in groups of three from opening a Box of Flares, which always spawn by the entrance of a dark level.

Functionality[]

Flares produce enough light to roughly double the Spelunker's sight range in dark levels, increasing their field of vision.

They can be carried in the hands to illuminate the area near the Spelunker, or thrown to light up areas further away.

Flares are lightweight, and can be thrown great distances.

Flares can be carried between levels, although it is debatably useful as a new box of flares will appear at the start of each dark level.

Flares can also be found in spelunker's home screen but cant be taken through shortcuts or the dwelling.
