Nice atmosphere here. I liked the mechanic too, and the music was good and had that 'thinking' vibe to it. Really nice one, good job!

Jesus, that shit was moody. Loved the music and graphics and the slick, pro interface.

I love the music, atmosphere and interface of this game, however I don't understand how to play. I seem to only be able to move flames up and down and nothing else really happens. Is there a bug in the web version? I don't have windows, so can't really tell if they are different. Please, I'd love to play this game, and I'll wait to rate it in case you fix the web version. Tweet me at @NoorStudios if you do!

Ok, After instruction I found the little girl in the dark (darkness really looms!). I like the concept a lot, but maybe just a little more light at least around the flames? Great work though.

Nice game. I found it a bit too hard, but that's only me. The graphics really support the gameplay and the music is perfect for this type of game!

Really nice mood going on here. I haven't tried it yet but it's interesting to see a level designer too. I felt like the game was punishing though, taking a wrong turn was practically a death sentence and it was really hard to read the player. I understand that darkness is a hard mechanic to work with though and I admire your attempt, but I think the mechanic needs to be either heavily refined or rethought altogether.
