Become a Man on Fire before it is too late.

I really love the concept/lore of this game, the art style is sick as well (I'm a sucker for 2.5d). My only issues are that the camera is always facing forward, and there isn't really any tension or a lose condition as far as I can tell. The characters are desperate to get the fires lit, but the music and overall vibe of the game doesn't convey that. Having a time limit and making the map a bit larger would make this far more engaging. You have a very solid foundation here and with a bit more work this could be a fantastic game I think. Keep up the good work!

I forgot to mention this in my original post but the pyromaniac in me really enjoyed being able to light the trees on fire >:)

Loved the "burn it all" vibe, it's very cathartic! I did struggle a bit with what to do next, though. It felt like I was stuck just igniting things without much further guidance. It might be on me, but some clearer objectives or a tutorial beat would have helped. Great job overall!

I think it's an interesting interpretation of the theme, and the presentation hints at an interesting story and lore. It makes me want to learn more. The biggest issue at the moment for me is not being able to turn the camera. Overall good execution given the time limit.

Great vibes! I felt the need to rotate the camera several times. Overall, I like it. Congrats!

Really enjoyed the music and SFX! I agree mostly with what others have said. I wanted to be able to turn the camera and sometimes what to do next wasn't all that clear (I had to go backwards a lot, not being able to see where I was going). Overall, the art and music were great! The story was also interesting and kept me going. Nice work!

The music and vibe is immaculate, great job

Makes me want to see more from your work

Loved the sounds! The ignite sound was so satisfying, made me want to burn it all down

The idea is not bad, but the controls are not convenient for me

@itero-proto Sorry to hear the controls weren't working well for you. Any particular issues?

@carrerino @pres2300 @ray-dino Thanks for the feedback, the camera can now be rotated.

An interesting concept.

Give me more stuff to do, I want to burn everything

Very loved the graphics <3 I am lost in the "begin the ritual" quest, but after all I realy liked the game, I come back later to try to find the solution :D

Really cool game, love the fact that we can just light EVERYTHING on fire, lol. I was NOT used to rotating the camera with e and q of all things, but still works. Art is also probably my favorite part, such a nice little game with fun exploration that requires some thinking of "what even is this?", lol. Keep up the good work :D

BRUN IT ALL!!!!!A very interesting little game that is perfect for playing when you have nowhere to vent your anger hahahaha

I'm really confused by this game. I struggled to find the firekeeper before getting stuck in UI after interacting with a fire.

I like the atmosphere and sound design!

Fun game, i don't understand everything but... I burn everything :D

This game is fire.

Great surreal story. Even though I liked it, I honestly got stuck at the part where you have to start the ritual, even after trying to finish the game twice. Thanks

I'VE BURNED EVERYTHING; I CAN'T EVEN SEE THE SCREEN

Fire.

Also, I kinda wish it had mouse camera controls.

I like that you can just set fire to everything you touch, and the music and general atmosphere are great too. I'll echo what others have said about it not being explained well enough what you actually need to do, though. I have no idea how "fanning the flames" was meant to work, it felt like I was just mashing the A button until the game told me I was done without anything actually changing, and then when I was asked to "begin the ritual" I had no idea what that meant. I'm guessing you have to light the three pyres in three different colours but the logical solution of "one yellow, one red, one green" didn't work - if specific pyres have to be specific colours, then that really needs to be telegraphed more clearly.
