Good idea for the theme. I liked the art in general but would prefer a constant pixel size for everything in the game. I really liked the jump animation but it felt a bit too late. I think flipping the sprite when moving to the left would be a simple yet great addition. The music and the sounds were really good.
Also the hitbox seemed too big and the controls could be more responsive.
After all a good entry!

Untitled-2-player-gameCool use of the theme. I like the movement but the platforming itself is a bit awkward. And the hitbox on the player seems too large, I kept getting stuck on the sides of the platforms. I also never felt like the shooting attack did anything.
The music was really good and some of the sprites were really impressive.

Me and MyAwesome job! love the take on the theme and becoming smaller when you shoot - cool mix of mechanics :)

QuaranteamThis is a really cool idea to use fire and increase it as you go along. I admit I was hoping to shoot a big fire ball at some point, but I know this is not what you were going for. Anyways, the platforming is good. I suiggest removing friction from materials so the player doesn't get stuck on the walls, it was hard getting to the torch by the end. At one point during my first play, the screen actually went pitch black nearing the torch and I had to restart it. Also, great art on the fire, very cute.

WingManReally like the concept of building up a fire and using your health as munitions ! However, the game is really really hard. The enemies almost one-hit the player, and the collisions are not forgiving at all ! I don't really know if you can actually kill the enemy because everytime i tried shooting at them i ended up killing myself before killing them so i just tried to avoid them in the end.
Didn't get past lvl3 as i couldn't reach the the fire above the enemy.
Quick note, when working with moving platforms i think it's better to try to have a coordinated pattern, where they always connect where they're supposed to. For exemple in level 3, i had to rely on luck to get the 3rd platform to be there when the 2nd was up, and that's quite frustrating when the 2nd platform kills you when going down.
Overall the game was still playable and fun, it just needs to be a bit more forgiving with the player ! Good job !

LifeboundGood job. Very comfortable jump and moving mechanics and also very nice aestethics. I would recommend some more forgiving hitboxes next time;)

Dwarf Mc. Cheese n' companyCool game! I liked how the health and ammo were the same from the flame, that was very creative. I also enjoyed the dynamic lighting effects with the fire.
I did find a bug where when you shoot a flying enemy and it starts to glow red, if you keep shooting it the flame grows infinitely bigger.
If you wanted to improve, I suggest adding signs in the game showing where to go. I was often lost and would just fall to my death. I also suggest adding dynamic lighting to the fire pick ups, they were kinda hard to see and could help with showing the direction the player could go in. Lastly, add some more animations, when the flame dies maybe add in a sound effect, some smoke particles and have the screen fade rather then just jump cut back to title screen.
Overall fun game, what you made as super cool!

Two Squares Are Better Than OneReally cool design, little fire guy was great! I couldn't figure out how to get the giant fire on stage 3. I lit up the bad guy with fire so I could jump on him, but couldn't jump on top of him because the collisions seemed a bit off and the player would stick to the side of him. Otherwise, game was very cool. Great job!
