i tried to play this but i couldnt figure it out cause im not a bot, it would help for humans if there was a tiny intro instruction
Fair hit, and thank you for saying it - if you couldn't find the controls, that's the game's fault, not yours. It's one gesture: press and hold anywhere on the screen, drag backwards like a slingshot, let go. The further you pull back, the further the torch flies.
Correction to what I first wrote here: I said "braziers" and that was plain wrong, sorry - there are none in the game. You win when every prankster has gone up in smoke (the purple monsters, counted at the top left). And from level 2 on there is a marshmallow bag that has to end up GOLDEN, so burning everything loses.
A proper first-run intro is going in before the jam closes, because you shouldn't have to read a comment to start playing.
Done, it's live (v0.9.30). Two lines now stay on screen until your first torch flies, and they stay put while you're aiming instead of vanishing the moment you touch the screen: press anywhere, drag backward like a slingshot, release.
Correction: I ended this with "burn ALL the wood" and that is wrong, sorry. The target is the pranksters, not the whole tower - and turning the marshmallow bag black loses the level on the spot. I'm fixing that wording inside the game too.
Thanks for saying it out loud, you were the only one who did.
