I really like how this game looks. It's simple, cute, communicates everything it needs to communicate, and it's a work well done for a gamejam. That being said, it took me a while to finally understand the controls, and that A and D only turn you, while W and S move you. I'm not sure if this is intended, so correct me if I'm wrong, but it felt really wonky to me, considering that the flame didn't have a very big horizontal reach. Don't let this discourage you, though, as it is a well done and thought through game. I also really liked the music :D

Hi Soap, we are really thankful for your positive and encouraging feedback. It’s our first time creating a game so reading not only positive thoughts but also small bits that would need an improvements is really rewarding. As we value every opinion we will keep in mind that the controls movements feels a bit as you’ve said “wonky” for the next update. We were trying to make it a bit more challenging for the player to control their movements but it seems that a bit of work needs to be done to make it more comfortable for the players experience.
Once again thanks for reaching out and we hope our next update will surprise you in a good way :)
