I loved this game! I really enjoy puzzle platformers, and I also submitted one. This game looks great and challenging. Congratulations!

The game feels good, i really liked art and animations (especially water), the audio is great and fits to the game on 100%. You did a great job <3

Developer

Thank you very much!

Wow great concept and puzzles! The art is really charming too. Can't fault this entry, you've ticked all the boxes! Wonderful stuff

Thank you! I had a lot of fun designing the puzzles, especially the last 2

Submitted

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the kind words!

Loved the level design enjoyed very much but why was the player moving to the left or maybe the level was moving to the right?? either way that was a weird bug

Developer

Thank you for playing! Hmm interesting, was it related to the moving platforms?

Submitted

it was in a level with moving platforms but i wasnt standing on the platform

The level with the vertical moving platform

The level design is very good and I like the concept! I did keep getting stuck by pushing blocks into walls on accident, and I thought the reset button wasn't working so i reloaded the page, though I realised eventually it was because I was pressing A when it was actually the R button. The lowercase letters for R and A look basically the same in that font haha

Thanks for playing! You're right they look very similar haha

Really neat concept with some clever puzzle design! Less a game about "carrying" a flame and more about throwing hail-mary flames across the room which was fun. Unfortunately the physics are a bit wonky, and it wasn't always clear whether gathering a flame would extinguish a previous one.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you liked the puzzles :) Yes Godot physics is a bit wonky. I ended up using Rapier2D physics which fixed some problems but its definitely not perfect. FYI your old flame disappears when you throw a new one. Level 4 was meant to introduce you to this concept.

Interesting gameplay and concept, but—as is normal for game jams—the game is a bit rough around the edges.
