Got a real run in. The start read is instant: title, 'the fire is going out', 'catch the embers. keep it alive', 'tap to begin'. In play, 'KEEP IT ALIVE' plus the timer and the drain bar tell me the stakes at a glance, and game over ('the night won. tap to try again') is clear and in-voice. The art reads well on the dark ground, no legibility problems. Two honest limits. I drove it through a remote browser with real input lag, so I could not catch embers and cannot speak to the catch feel or the run-2 cold-ember choice. And with no catches the fire died in about 11 seconds, well short of the 'about a minute a run' in your description; I could not tell whether that minute assumes clean play or the drain is tuned too fast for a first-timer. Worth a look either way.
