Hi Gamerguy1500

Looks like we had the same idea about the "match" concept inside of a platformer!

Cool art! I love pixel art. It's a tough medium to master, especially in a short time frame. 

One suggestion would be to add something to make the game more unique. Simply answering that question - "Why is the match running?" - will probably lead to a very interesting concept!

Great start, keep up the good work!

Best Regards,

Good visuals! I liked the mechanic of only controlling jumping; I liked the tap on-screen or press space to jump feature!

Suggestions:

  • Add a score/high score system -- The score shows me how good am I doing; the high score makes me play more and try to beat my highest score
  • Add music and possibly SFX -- That makes the game feel a lot polished, especially when choosing good once
  • Maybe, decrease the flame size or increase the match size -- That makes the player look balanced

Thanks for the suggestions and the comments!

just to clarify

  • I tried making a score counter during the game's development before it was submitted and I couldn't get it to work so I scrapped it
  • I'm not good at making music but if I find out a good program to use I will add some
  • I also tried making the flame smaller but nothing would work so I scrapped that too

I will eventually come around to making some of those suggestions work but I'm not sure how well I can do some of them (if possible)

and it was fun to participate in the jam!

Ok i have admit the take on the theme is really funny lol, maybe the game could use some other mechanic to make it more interesting like collecting coins or evading enemies.
