A little on the frustrating side - checkpoints or respawning flames would be nice.
Other then that: great submission. Controls pretty smooth, fits the theme well and can easily be extended upon. :D

True - but then again repeating something you know how to do because you failed at a different challenge isn't really increasing difficulty :D
I think it depends on the genre: in a puzzle-stealth game the repeated skill checks are kinda pointless and frustrating - you wanna find out how to do the current puzzle not repeat the old one. In a more action based stealth game repetition improves your skills so you should repeat the basics often,
Whatever - minor point. Game is great - good job :D
