Given the fact that the:

Smallest oil lamp: A tiny survival oil lamp (like the UCO Micro Candle Lantern) burns ~3 hours.
Largest oil lamp: Lighthouse oil lamps (like those using whale oil or kerosene) could burn for weeks with refills.

having a lamp that burns out every 20 seconds makes this game a chore to play. In my case, before I died, I did have oil but the lamp wouldn't be lit up.

I sincerely hope you improve the gameplay itself, otherwise you get a lot of negative feedback and that won't help you in growing into something bigger.

I'm sure you have the talent, but also hope you listen to players giving you feedback.

Hi! Thanks for the comment :)

I knew that oil lamps burn for a long time - this is a game convention, and I assumed that there might be comments about this.

You also missed the hint that the lamp can be turned on by pressing the F button when it goes out. This is also my mistake(

And you also missed the map at the beginning, which was lying next to the lamp.

I will try to do better!

@ Zibrulyaa,

It is through making mistakes we [both you and I] learn to move forward and not make them again [as I have made many myself].

I sincerely appreciate you making a game, because I have friends that make them as well, so I know how much time and effort goes into creating them.

I hope you see my comments as an attempt to assist you in growing and improving yourself as a creator/developer, not merely criticize you, as that would be an insult, and that's the last thing on my mind :o]
