Best game in the jam I've seen so far, hands down.  The art is brilliant, the controls are great (I played on Web though) and the gameplay is fantastic.  I played three times.  The first time I finished way too fast and didn't see the fire.  The second time I died in the fire and the last time I realized the spear puts out the fire.  That makes it far too easy, but I don't think your goal here was challenge.  It's great.
