Lots of fun, and a great example of good scoping for a jam game!
I actually briefly went back to the now ancient Newgrounds game "Streets of Fire" after this, because your concept reminded me of it, but your game feels way more complete.

- Reminds me of the little tiny arcade machines that usually only had one game on them. It's very well made, the game feels good to move around in and interact. Though wish the drops were a bit more common, didn't get any till 6 tiers in. The sounds are very good, though a little bit more verity in pitches could help break it up a little. When they over lay when you kill many at once cause hurt your ears a little bit. The sprites and emotions add so much energy to the game without a story it just adds a lot of fun and reminders of old bit games. Good job!

Have you checked that your GDD is publicly accessible ?
Yes
Is your game set to public on itch.io so we can see it?
Yes
Summarise your game!
A simple arcade game about controlling a living flame, lighting living matches on fire. There's a Rules tab on the main menu for the mechanics, although it isn't a complicated game.
Please explain how your game fits the theme:
This game fits the theme because rather than the player having an attack, they defeat enemies just by getting close to them. Also, the player takes the form of something harmful/meant to harm.
Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
There seems to be a bug with Godot where 2D particles don't generate when playing an HTML5 build w/ an AMD graphics card, so the game may not look as polished if played on a computer with one. That being said, I am excited to participate, this is my first jam AND (finished original) game! I hope y'all enjoy :}
