Chapter 2 and The Fuse - that is further than most people get, thank you for actually playing it through.

The Fuse is the one I fought with longest. It only works if the fire takes exactly as long to crawl the line as the player expects, and "about right" is not good enough there - a quarter second either way and the whole level reads as broken instead of tense.

You are right that the solver is the reason the levels hold up: every one of the 15 hand-made levels and the 200 generated towers is proven winnable by its own recorded solution before it ships, so no level can quietly become impossible after a balance change. It catches me more often than I would like.

Good luck in the jam to you too.

"So mad you burn their houses down" is a better pitch than anything on my game page, and you are welcome to it.

For the record the monster has a defence: the pranksters stole his marshmallows first. Whether that holds up in court is another matter.

Thanks for playing.

That is exactly the loop I was aiming for - you throw one torch, watch what the fire decides to do, and then want to try a different opening. Glad it caught you.

If you go back: the fewer torches you throw, the more stars you get, so the levels you have already beaten usually have a tighter solution hiding in them.

Thanks for playing.

Thanks! Angry Birds is a fair comparison, and the controls note is the useful part - the first level does show a hand doing the pull-back, but it was hiding at the worst possible moment - that is on me, and it is fixed and live as of tonight: the hand that shows the pull-back used to vanish the moment you first touched the screen and only came back after four seconds - exactly the window where you were hunting for the gesture. Now it stays up while you aim, until your first torch is actually thrown.

The Last Beacon is on my list tonight - I will leave you something specific, not a thumbs up.

Thank you - "works better on a phone" is the compliment I was hoping for, because portrait and one-finger aiming were the two things we refused to compromise on. 谢谢你的评价！

Since you brought up Angry Birds: the simplicity is on purpose. You only get a handful of torches per tower, so the puzzle is picking which of the four to throw and where, not finding the perfect arc.

I left you a comment on The Ballad Got It Wrong earlier in the jam - if anything in it was off the mark, tell me straight, I would rather hear it.

Thanks Smokey, that's a report I can act on. Level 2 is on me, not your timing - six drags landing within 4px and splitting 3 wins / 3 losses means the window is too tight that early, so I'm widening it before the deadline, and I'm chasing that 404 too. Fair flag on the solution vectors: aiming with them does skip how the puzzles actually feel, which is the one thing a bot can't tell me. I run a script for playtests on my side as well, so no judgement here.

Thanks - that's the most useful report we've had, and the phone pass especially.

On the 404: it was /favicon.ico and it's gone. I just reloaded the live build with the network log open: zero requests at 400 or above. Nothing was ever missing from the game itself.

On level 2 being tight: you're right and it's being widened for the next build - the acceptance window on the first shot roughly half again as wide, and a little more on the second. The aiming arc is getting thicker too, because on a phone your own thumb covers the thin one.

And I played Wickline and left you notes on its page - including the one thing I'd change. Turns out we both built a game about setting things on fire this jam.
