Cute graphics but there is nothing else.

Submitted

This game is very cute! I love the art of the flame and the little meadow where the little flowers grow as well. There doesn't seem to be a goal other than to just collect flowers, which would be nice if there was a tracker per flower, or specific goal, or motivation really. Music and SFX of course are always addons, so I would recommend that as well. Made me want more though, good job!

Submitted

Good use of the limitation! Art is very nice, I can tell a lot of effort went into it! I especially like dynamic shadows and character rotation. I wish the game had some well-defined goal. Adding a counter of collected flowers would already be a great improvement!

Thanks!

I like the graphics used in the game, the little flame dude was cute - was confused why he had a shadow under him though? since he is light.

Developer

Not a pant-less light though xD It felt empty without the shadow I guess. Thanks for playing :)

Submitted

Perhaps an anti-shadow - a circle of white under the flame? And, in order for its legs not to seem detached from the ground, they can have a gradient that is bright at the bottom.

Sounds like a great idea, wish I had thought about that.

Submitted

Presentation is very nice, with beautiful visuals. Love the shadows. Unfortunately, I couldn't hear any sound (I'm not sure if this was just my machine).

The project needed a bit more development, maybe with a little story progressing as the flame walks around, destroying what it loves most. </3

Developer(+1)

It is not your machine, I run out of time to implement sounds and story. :D I am happy to hear you liked the visuals, I have spend stupid amount of time to fake character rotation. But I ve learned my lesson and will try to better plan my time next jams! 

Submitted

Time management are what these short jams are all about. :) Anyway, very impressive visuals. Good luck!

Very nice art and animation!

Sad that you didn't have time to finish the idea, but keep it up! I think it has the potential for being a great puzzle game. (And BTW, I think it is one of the best interpretations of the limitations that I've seen so far)

Developer

I am thrilled to hear that! :)

It would be nice to have some narration in game. Maybe some ending after accidentally killing all of the flowers. Because right now the game feels kinda pointless.

Developer

I am aware, unfortunately. :( I didn't come up with a clear goal for the character. You are right I should have added at least some ending. Well, next time I will! 

Submitted

A really cute game with a mechanic that has a lot of potential! I would've liked it more if there was more of an overarching goal or narrative, but that's about all the criticism I have.

Developer

Thanks a lot! I agree that the game is missing narrative and goal, I needed to work faster! :D

Submitted

Poor flame...

I love the way the flame is animated, particularly when turning around.

Developer

That part took me stupid amount of time, which should be spent on the other parts of the game but well...  :D

Submitted

I love the art style, and it's a nice and sad (for the flame) idea.

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

oh this is so bittersweet! I wanted to so bad to be able to pick up flowers for little flame and be happy, but they all burn D:

really sweet and cute concept, love the artwork as well!

Developer

Yeah it turned out to be a sad story for the flame. Wish I had spotted that while still in development though xD Thanks!

Submitted

I like your art.

Keep it Up!

Developer

I am glad you like it, thanks!

Submitted

nice game!

Developer

thanks!
