Very cute.

The flame looked great! And the "angry birds" mechanic fit really well with the idea of a jumping flame. Super fun.

I didn't know if the windows were good or bad? Did they throw off my course, or just move the candles? Did they affect the ghost?

I'd love to see what more levels would look like. I found it cute and charming and would like to play through different scenarios as that little flame. Super cute.

Great work.

Love that flame throw mechanic. Great work!

Really awesome idea! I think some music or at leat some sound effects while hopping from candle to candle would really make the experience even better.

The gameplay is actually very fun!

Notes from playing:

  • I think there is a bug where windows just stop closing and instantly reopen no matter how much I close them
  • Ghost had cornered me a couple of times giving me no option but to die :(
  • Would be an interesting mechanism if you were a flame character, but with a grapple also to be able to save yourself on shots that are just a little off. This way the shooting is for velocity of finishing quickly, but the grapple is for saving yourself.

Got to 838 score. Nice game!

I find it hard to suit the main theme here, however the game is really nice. Sunken a few minutes in it, great idea :)
