I found myself constantly watching the stick thinking: &quot;Can I get a little farther without blowing on it?&quot;.

The difficulty spikes quickly and my stick burned  down to nothing without me realizing that it was getting close. The fire is very obvious and you can stop and blow on it when needed but the feedback for the stick itself is a bit lacking.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Platforming was a little loose and floaty but it works in this game because this is some dumb caveman guy running to find true love with a burning stick in his hand.
