Controls were a bit slippery at times, but the concept's pretty strong. Nicely done!

I really loved the art style! The platforming mechanics combined with the water-shooting mechanic work really well together and make for a fun experience. Great game!
The game is really fun, but using the water gun to move around can be frustrating at times. Otherwise it's a really creative idea and I really like the visuals in this game!
Cute, reminds me a little of Nuclear Blaze.
Feels rather rough around the edges so I don't know how strict we should be. I'd like to see more powerups, a parallax layer, better UI (I don't have a good sense of progress), better level design and some kind of surprise to keep me invested.
Fun fact - even while holding the candle, your jump is still propelled up.
I enjoy the overall concept. I feel like a good improvement could be adding the ability to shoot water in all directions with a little hovering arrow telling you which way your shooting. Being able to shoot straight down to propel yourself, I think would be much more intuitive than just jumping and hoping you go up far enough. The art is my favorite thing though, love the cover! Also some adding sfx on shooting the water would be another good improvement.
Nice game, enjoyed the propelling by water. It is a bit difficult to get used to at first but after I get the hang of it this game is fun. Some of the jumps and platforming is a bit difficult but I think it's a good difficult.
Cool idea!! :-) However, it seems (too) hard to control. At least for me the propel is too fast and in combinations with A/D controls it gets "uncontrollable" for me, also the water is gone pretty fast. I would like to have the jumping and flying much slower so you be more in control. BUT, I know I am bad at such games, so I guess, it's just me having this problems.
