The art is nice and the gameplay is satisfying, but I keep ending up in situations where it's impossible to progress because the next platform is just a bit too high to reach.

This game is nice, but I don't know how to restart after I fall from a great height. I really loved the art though!

@3lstmsinatrenchcoat Thanks for the feedback, we'll be tweaking the platform spawning script to ensure a consistent viable path

@flashviper we're trying to implement a restart system, but you can hit space bar for now to restart

@fabrizio-spadaro Thanks! we'll be tweaking the platform spawning script to ensure a consistent viable path

@littlemiky Thank you so much!

@abb1x Yay! Thank you for playing :smile:

The graphics look nice and I like the general idea how to move the flame! But the mouse control feels still a bit unsatisfying. I think a few minor tweaks could make it even more fun for me! :)

very nice idea that shows the theme very well. i like the mchanics, and somehow the art as well :). i had some issues with the mechanics if i did not play in fullscreen. but overall, simple and nice :)

Great graphics, music, mood.
I appreciate a lot the tutorial part that was straightforward.

The slingshot can be improved, it's a bit difficult to aim with that small surface for the mouse.
I got stuck on a rock when I died, but sh** happens ^^

Nice graphic style ! And the music & feedback sounds neat perfectly with the gameplay sequence !

However, I had trouble to aim precisely with the flame, sometimes I fell whereas I hit well the other platformer, it was a bit frustating.

But, overall good job, it was fun to play !

I liked the game, really cute, although the difficulty doesn´t seem to rise, I felt in control all the time, the music is pretty great too, really nice vibe and I like how is turned down when you are in a safe place. Well done.

I loved the little faces on everything. It would be cool to see some extra challenges as you get higher.

Doesn't look like anyone else experienced this bug, but I found that dying broke the game (I couldn't jump after respawning), and I had to restart after death. I tried again and got the same thing, I made it to around 200 each time.

I really love the indicator for your trajectory, the animation in it was a nice touch! I do wish that you didn't need to start clicking on the player to move (like it'd be nice if I could click anywhere and drag down to launch myself). I love the music, and the UI for the menu was great, surprisingly polished for a jam game! The graphics were nice, I initially disliked the square rain from the clouds, but I came to respect the clarity of it, it's clear where the hitbox is, which might not be the case if you'd used rain particles. So overall it was a very cool game, I would have definitely played for longer if I didn't have to restart each time! :heart:
