Cool game! I really like the art style of this. I liked the ramp up in difficulty, kinda felt like playing simon with some guessing mixed in. I wasn't able to win because rng was absolutely wrecking me, but I enjoyed my time with the game. Great work!

Great game! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get too far because I kept messing up. Are there hints or clues as to what the sequence is or is it all just trial and error. I felt like I was doing it wrong. But the game looks great!

Its Completely RNG at the moment, with it being pretty unforgiving even as the Dev I have a hard time cause rnjesus is not my friend lol. It gets especially hard later on trying to remember what you've already tried or not. Later updates will include things to help with this as well as hinder. There will be, between acts, a choice sacrifice (a roguelike element where you choose one that will have a positive and negative effect) that will change the play style and make each run feel more unique as well as some quick time events to switch up the monotony.

Thank you so much for playing!

Bravo! Great work with the puzzle elements, and big fan of the pixel art. Super fun scenario for the theme :)

I really like the graphics and how you interpreted the theme. It is a really good idea for this jams theme. It really can not go wrong. I found a bit difficult to figure out the pattern but I like a good puzzle game. 

Submitted(+2)

This was so awesome! I loved the puzzle and memory aspect. Great visuals and sounds as well. Very well polished. :)

Impressive itch page with a really cool concept! The dialogues are well-written and add a lot. The gameplay is fun but feels a bit too simple, and the lack of WebGL support is a bit of a downside. The theme and visuals work well together, and the overall feel of the game is solid.

Great work, just a few areas to polish! 7.5/10 :)

Developer

Thank you for your input<33

 I was a little scared for the download but its lowkey really fun to play! I think itd be really cool to have a feature to restore candles or something tho. like you could have the monsters become your familiars if you beat a stage and either benefit or harm the player frfr :3

Thats Actually already in the works, the goal is to have roguelike choices between acts that have a possitive and negative effects as well as some quick time events to give it some replay factor and make it feel less repetative

Submitted(+2)

Excellent art style and atmosphere! It wasn't clear how candles were blown out. It looks like each candle is a 3 tries. Well done!

Submitted(+2)

Very cool idea, the art is fantastic, sound is good and I loved the animated symbol on the ground. Awesome job, and very well presented!

Developer

Submitted(+2)

Simple, but a very solid style. cool idea too!

Developer

:D thanks!

Fun game but its kinda bad that its all up to rng. love the art style and the audio!

Developer

Appreciate your input and Thank you for Playing!
There is future updates in the works for after jam, including roguelike choices between acts and quick time events to add variety
So definitely keep an eye out for that after the voting period ends.
Much Love <3
