I'm super impressed that it's compatible with an xbox controller! :)
I really enjoyed playing.

Nice environment. Feel like this really needs more shadow work - some 2D volumetric shadows would really make this pop, and make the maze a little more challenging.

The environment was very nice to explore. I was surprised to see the player zoom across the screen, but I got used to it fairly quickly. Overall a pretty fun game! Good job!

Very cute game! the fire mechanic is very nicely realized. I liked the feeling of claustrophobia of it dying down while I was in a cave.

Simple and efficient. I liked the cute art, and the fact that you were able to create such a big map & such a variety of assets for different environements! Nicely executed.

Really nice execution of a simple yet interesting concept! I really felt the tension of losing light deep in a cave without knowing where to go. Still managed to be easy-enough to navigate with a totally open feel to it.

Cool execution of the theme. I really felt myself tense up once I realized how little light I still had while I was in the middle of the cave lmao. Good job!
