Quite a cool concept! I like the art and sounds were fine. The beginning was a bit slow and boring but once you introduced the mechanic of burning blocks, it got quite interesting. The levels with the burning blocks acting as a timer was clever! I wish there were some more mechanics introduced, it would make quite an interesting puzzle game. Can't wait to see what you come up with if you decide to continue working on the game :)

Pretty fun game! Didn't need any instructions since the objective and controls are self explanatory. I like the idea of playing a fire trying to light a candle! I also loved the fact that the candles fell off platforms towards the end of the game, making it more challenging. The pixel art was nice! I think the game experience could have used more audio though, perhaps music or sound FX for jumping or reaching the end of the level / game. I really liked the level designs towards the end of the game, I had to really think about timing when burning some platforms. The gameplay is fun, but I think a cool element that could've been added was make the water level rise over time for some levels (putting more pressure on the player to play fast). Pretty awesome game overall!
Thanks for the suggestions, I'see if I can do the particles (Im pretty new at that) but Its a great idea. About the levels I know that they're very simple but I didnt had time for doing more. I didnt knoe that you could use a lighting system in 2d games, I'll search. Another time thanks a lot for the feedback
Cool game! I like the fact that you can finish some levels in different ways - you can try to climb up the platform or you can wait till wooden platform burn out and the candle will fall :)
Very cool little game! Here's my playthrough of it: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/568752344
