pretty nice concept! Maybe just add the keyboard keys to the colors to make it easier to get it on the first run :)
Had fun with this! Easy to pick up, and the colour palette is distinctive. One small thing — it may be intentional for drama, but as the game goes on the dark areas hide a lot, and I sometimes struggled to see what was going on.
Pretty fun idea! I didn’t get it on the first try, but it clicked quickly after that. Maybe the learning curve could be clearer a little at the start (or maybe I’m just a slowpoke 🐢) And one tiny wish: since it’s kind of a rhythm game, some music would make it even better.
Good job!
Really easy to get into — the "[1] CRIMSON FLAME / [2] FROST FLAME / [3] GOLDEN LIGHTNING" prompts had me playing within seconds. Landing three hits in a row for the rainbow Prismatic shot, then clearing Night 1 and picking an upgrade, feels great, and the sky turning blue with bats swooping in on Night 2 was a lovely surprise. One note: when I lost, it was hard to tell why — a stronger reaction when I picked the wrong color, or a moment before "THE FLAME HAS DIED," would help. Thanks again for playing Torch Topple! If you have a minute, I'd love your thoughts on Pop Chain too (one tap to set off a chain of sparks) 🔥
Really fun idea! Matching the flame colour to the runes and pushing the whole column back like dominoes feels great once it clicks. I made it to Night 5 and kept wanting "one more night". The way the flame tints the whole scene is a lovely touch, and the tutorial cards explain everything without getting in the way.
One small suggestion: as the waves get longer, the right side of the screen gets quite dark, so I ended up watching only the runes at the top. A bit more light on the incoming monsters would make it easier to read. Great job overall!

I really like this game. The controls are simple and easy to understand, so you don’t have to memorize a bunch of complicated keys, but there’s still a decent amount of depth to the gameplay. I also really like the sound effects.
My main issue is that I have to keep my eyes almost constantly on the red, blue, and yellow indicators at the top. At the same time, the right side of the screen is so dark that I can barely tell what I’m actually attacking.
I loved how clear it was to see which spell to cast next—it made the game super fun!
I got a bit too carried away clicking during the Rainbow state, so when it changed back to normal, I kept messing up and got an instant Game Over lol
Once the enemies start swarming, it gets so hectic!
I had a blast playing through all the chaos! :)
Thanks for playing AI WORMS and for the kind words about the mobs! Torch: The Night Flame is a lot of fun. The music is good, and it's easy to pick up and play, which I really appreciated after trying some very complicated games this jam. Nicely done!
It's a good game, based on the theme of the contest. nice graphics, simple but addictive.
I like the vibe and graphical style! Pretty fun gameplay once I got the hang of it. Nice job!
