A very sensitive game, and you made engage in it a lot more because of the story. One thing i would add, the colour changing can be made on the actual flame. It's a bit hard to track it if it's in the corner of the screen.
Here's the game i worked on this jam, if you'd like to take a look at it. I could use the advice of someone more experienced. :)

Thanks for playing and for the advice! I will check it out don't worry :D
First story game i played in this jam, really enjoyable, didn't manage to finish it, the colored platform where very unforgiving. Great use of the limitation, nice job!
Thank you for playing! And sorry to hear you couldn't finish the game, the hitboxes make the game a bit harder than what I intended it to be.
I blame it on my poor platforming skills :D
I like the mechanic and can see it being really cool with some more time put into it. The hit detection does some parts feel artificially hard though. I like that you included a plot too.:)
Thank you for playing and for your comment! And yeah, if I had more time it would be much more polished.
Incredible. Love the story and the gameplay is really good.
I'm glad to see that you liked it :D Thank you very much for playing and for commenting!
The music and the story were good. The hitboxes could be a bit punishing sometimes, but other than that the gameplay was fun
Well, hitboxes make the game challenging hahaha, but yeah I understand what you're saying, the musics and the story are the best parts of my game in my opinion. Thank you very much for playing!
really like the story of the game, had a problem in the game where it prevent it from restarting the level but, i really liked the game
Thank you for playing my game! Yeah the restart problem is a bug, only solution would be adding a button to press in-game instead of using the "z" key.
Really cool game! It felt like the hitboxes we're a bit too big at some parts though, and sometimes the 'z' button didn't work to restart a level.
I know, the "z" button problem is an engine problem, for some reason it stops working if you use it too much. Thanks for the comment! (And yes, hitboxes are a bit big, I did what I could with the 72 hours, it was my first time using GDevelop 5)
Music is amazing. The story element was a little bit out of place, but it could be improved to fit the gameplay better. I encountered a glitch at the end of level 3.
I think the ralationship between the gameplay/levels and the story is good, but I'm open to opinions, there's always space for improvement. Thank you very much for playing my game!
