The pixel art was so polished ! I liked the fire-cycle reflection. That was an interesting little story with some humor, a lot of cuteness and a tiny bit of Christopher Nolan :p
Also you've really put some efforts in the game page (nothing to compare with mine >.>) Impressive work !

Use of the limitation
I used three primary colors for all the sprites in the game. You may also notice the dark background color. I adopted it as the outline color, ensuring the game maintains a fully three-color palette.

Very cute little story with interesting vision on "fire" theme. At the end I felt like something with books-staircase's colliders was off, but overall excellent job.
I also mentioned this problem with jump and book colliders, we had theory that "the true meaning behind this deep game, books, they can lure you in, get you hooked on the idea, and never let go...")) I will try to fix this problem after jam.
Thank u for the feedback, it really means a lot to me! You did such a good job on your game too <3
Wow this was a really nice experience! I can't really think of anything the improve. Great visuals, nice story and even humour :D
It’s a very beautiful, atmospheric, and aesthetically pleasing game; I really enjoyed following the little flame. Huge respect to the creator, and I wish them continued success in game development and design! (o・ω・o)
This is a really heartwarming and wonderful short story! Very detailed presentation and a lot of care with the pixel art. Only issue was the somewhat janky jumping. Also the itch game page just looks great, nice work!
It's here, the award winning little flame guy game! :D
One thing i noticed is that the pixels in some places are different sizes, especially noticable in the smiling candle frame, but in this style it doesn't bother me, it looks like it was supposed to be this way, and in a way it adds up to the cozy feeling even.
Amasing combination of art, sound and writing, there absolutely were tears and applause at the end, i guarantee :]
Its was my real problem with different pixel sizes, because i started to draw on a big canvas with less pixel size brish and understood how its hard really late...( So some arts has this issue, wanna try to redraw it after jam.
Thank u for the feedback so much! It really means a lot to me <3
Your game is awesome, too! Will wait collaboration of Keep the Flame and Last Ember, like Keep the Last Ember :D

Lol, that wouldve been a legendary collab, we welcome the little flame guy in the Keep the flame woods anytime! I bet a campfire would feel a lot more spacious than a candle :]
I get the different canvas size messing up pixel size, had a similar problem a few jams back, but I think that it doesn't always look bad. I'd love to see The Last Ember with pixel perfect art, I believe that you can make it 10 times better!
What a super cute game, I really liked it! The pixel art is very good, and the music really helped to sell the tone! Well done!
