I really like this game. It's a nice mixture between memorization and resource management and the time limit really gives it a nice sense of urgency.

Such an awesome take on the theme, I'd give it a 6 for that if I could!

Really nice mechanic and very cute graphics. Needs to be a little harder I think since I beat all levels on the first try :)

This game if one of my ld's favorite game :). Great concept, nice graphics and polished! Congrats!

Excellent !

Awesome graphics, really funny. Nice idea and level design to make it a nice game.
I miss a bit of music.

Awesome concept, really liked the visual style. It'd be cool to be able to go back and replay earlier levels to reduce your torch use.

Really nice idea fitting the theme oh so well!
Nice graphics with cool lightning effects. Too bad there's no sound.

At first I didn't realize that the torches need to hold for 12 levels, so I had to do the last two without any - But I saved Milton in the end! :-)

I really enjoyed this game!

Got upto level 11 before I ran out of torches, really fun and challenging, good work.

Really good game. I enjoyed it a lot and it fits the theme well!

Very fun. :) I managed to save 13 torches.

Really excellent take on the theme and the two phase mechanics were well executed. Would obviously be much better if there was sound of course.

Finished with 4 torches to spare! Liked that you have to "minimize" the potentially complicated route.

Cool idea. I keep losing to being over ambitious :p

I love the game mechanic here.

this is good because it lets you set your own challenge level instead of forcing you to conform to a single difficulty

nice idea and a very pleasant game

Very well executed and a really nice idea! Good jerb!

Lots of fun, great concept, and I like the pixel bevelling :P.

Fun, challenging, have to replay at least once. Looks great, well polished. Excellent job!

This worked out quite well! I ended up only having a single torch for the final level, but lucked out somehow. Great idea. Perhaps with some extra polish and some sound, this could be expanded further.

I do wish there weren't a time limit for placing the torches. That's my only point of criticism. The game is really neat otherwise. :)

Very original. At first I thought it was easy, but a few levels later I realized how corners can make things much harder :). Congratulations.

Wow, such a neat idea! Loving the graphics too, what a cool entry!

Nicely done. Good concept. Pretty good level design, and good variety.

Could be a little harder. I won with 23 or so torches left.

Great use of the theme! Unique concept, and the graphics were very well done.

Awesome job!

this was cool game -- maybe the best so far -- wish i could figure out how to make those type of graphics for a game i am working on -- great effort. shame there is no audio!

Very good concept ! Well polished, except there is no sound at all. Fun to play. Cool graphics. A very good entry :)

Awesome concept, great design and execution! Was quite easy until I got to the final level and realised I only had one torch left. xD

You could take this game in so many exciting directions. Random maze generation, traps and monsters, treasure, cool music. I would totally play a post-compo version. :)

I like these 2-part kind of game :)
Interesting concept and good graphics :)
Would be great with some audio (zombie noise when moving in the dark? :D)

Very interesting, and looks very nice too. Great job!

Nice game, cool idea, cute graphics! Needs sound, and could be a bit more difficult...:) Otherwise very good!

Great job!

Wow. Surprisingly great!

Nice graphics! I particularly liked the torch effect.
The mechanic was also good, but didn't find it too related to minimalism.

Great graphics, interesting idea. Felt lack of some ambient music :)

Neat game. Had only a few torches left at the end. :)

Love the level design!
Really neat concept, great job!

I really liked the concept behind this. I'd love to see the idea explored a bit more with the addition of hazards, monsters, or objects that need to be used. The core idea behind it is awesome, though! Great job!

This game was really fun. Great graphics, smooth controls, funny concept. The following feedback contains just minor things: Add music and sound effects! Additional, you should add a "x levels left" text in the game. I know, you wrote the level count in the game description, but I read it over and without this information, the saving of torches gets strange. A possible solution would be to let the player unlock level by level (if he won the previous one) and let him play old levels again, so he can try to solve it with fewer torches and therefore get some back for later levels. This would make the torch saving still worth it, but let the player also decide how to use it and don't just save them for an unknown future.

Awesome idea! I love the two-stage gameplay. I ended with 13 torches left cos I was conservative as I didn't notice there was only 12 levels, should probably include that info in-game, like "level X of Y".

Good game ! Really fun ... You should create more levels

awesome idea and great learning curve.
the visuals were great as well! nicely done

loved it

I didn't really like the time limit mainly because i wasn't aware of it, however i had a lot of fun and the strategy is nice. some music would be great!

Neat idea, very polished presentation. I like the visual style. Gameplay is sort of easy, sort of hard...pretty cool game.
