That solo player was impressive! However, I usually use "W" for jumping instead of "Z." It might be helpful to include a tutorial option that explains the barrel and healing mechanics. Also, I prefer using health points rather than a health bar.

I love the visual aspect of the game!
The reason I find it difficult to play is the long chain of actions to create a charge.
Pick up the fire, grab the barrel, reach the target, light the fuse, throw the barrel, and run from the blast wave.
This really disrupts my flow for a game about climbing up with a timer.
On the other hand, I appreciate that the barrel mechanic is an attempt to move away from standard projectiles and try something new!
Overall, it’s a good game especially for a first jam!

Nice work on the use of dithering and sound effects! The gameplay is unforgiving, and I'm sure some absolutely love that challenge!

I think music would have leveled up the experience, and it would be fun if you could jump on the boxes (or if they had some physics component).

Fun little game!

Very fun! I LOVE the lighting, as well as the torch and such. I also really liked the game idea, as I almost made the EXACT same thing for my submission but ended up not. :O If I could change one thing though, it is just to add more feedback when you get hit by an enemy, as it is hard to notice sometimes .

Cute! Love the art style and the player movement was smooth. I found getting the barrels to ignite a little difficult but it was fun to play.

Cool game. Could have used a little music, but the pixel effect for light is really neat!
