There's a real game in here somewhere, but unfortunately this game had a lot of frustrating elements. It was extremely difficult - the fire pillars appearing were impossible to predict, making it necessary to memorize where the fire would be. However, waiting before the fire to prevent yourself from getting killed meant the lava would immediately catch up to you, and you would die if you slowed down at all. Jump inputs are lost when you clip corners or walls, making it feel like my deaths were because of wonky controls rather than a mistake I made. As well, checkpoints would have been extremely helpful - I made it quite far, but there was one jump I could never make, but I could only attempt it after making it through the entire level again, which made it hard since there was an enormous amount of pressure every time.
I loved the look and I think this game could be really fun, but it needs some tweaks to make it truly shine. Good effort - I'd love to see another game like this.
