I saw this too! I was trying to screen capture to share with friends because I loved the artwork and music combination, but the monster overtook me and I expected to die, but didn't.
There was also large spaces of nothingness for a while, I think you could have gotten away with a smaller map or included more obstacles!
The lack of lighter animation threw me at first, until I kind of figured out what it looked like. I think adding color from the lighter to contrast the level/artwork would have been a nice polish, and perhaps things you can burn/interact with the lighter with have some small form of color.
Also if you jump THEN try to go up the ladder, you can't. It took me way longer than I'd like to admit to figure out how to get up the ladder, lol.
