You only get one! (match) by Fenixin
PLEASE NOTE: You can resize the screen using 'ctrl-s' and quit using 'q'
Macario is a qualified pyrotechnic responsible for fireworks, but he is so hopeless he keeps losing his matchboxes. Luckily enough, he always manages to keep one single match. Help him get his job done and travel with him around the globe. Use arrows to walk, jump, and crouch. Press down to light the fireworks in each level before the flame goes off. Mind the mobs, falling, or running too fast, as that will make the fire get consumed faster!
BUGFIX:
There is a new version that solves some 'Typo' or 'unbeatable' problems as the rules say . We have fixed:
- The lives not resetting.
- A really ugly hang that happened if you left the mouse over the game screen.
- Music not looping.
- The last level was simply impossible, fixed that.
NOTES:
- You can quit the game using the key 'q' ONLY while playing... yeah, that's kind of a bug.
- You can resize the screen using Ctrl-s. This isn't very well implemented and will make the comics and title screen look weird, but you will be able to see the whole screen while playing.
KNOWN BUGS:
- Completing a level just before the match burn out will count as a lost game.
- Resizing the screen will make the comics and the title screen look weird

I couldn't get passed level 1 though, not sure what you're supposed to do with those barrels. (EDIT: I'll have to try again, didn't know you could crouch to light those up)
The screen is resizable, but it wasn't really working at the end of the jam, so we didn't mention it. Didn't think of people with small screen resolution!
You can resize the screen using 'Ctrl-s'. Resizing will make the title screen and comic screens look weird but will look perfect while playing. I have added a comment about this in the game description.
The arcade style was brilliant though!
Cheers, Marcus
The backgrounds were made in the last hours, so, yes, palettes are not optimized. Stay tuned for the post comp version, we will work to produce a great arcade experience that fix those problems, movement, colors, and gameplay in general. Regards.
Again, can't put it into words, but it just feels right, kind of like a DOS shareware game or something
There seems to be some bug with the lives (maybe just the number shown) if you restart after loosing.
Nice graphics, nice sound, nice story, so:
Great work!
@StMatn, you are right! We have just uploaded a bugfix doing some 'Typo' bugfixing as the rules say. We have fixed:
- The lives not resetting
- A really ugly hang that happened if you left the mouse over the game screen.
- Music not looping.
- The last level was simply impossible, fixed that.
On some objects, like the birds, it's really hard to tell that you're losing time when touching them.
Good graphics and fun music.
I went to the ??? but can't pass it. I only had one life left :)
I really want to discover all levels to see new places and monsters but the game was quite hard for me. Perhaps you should make it easier so more people will have chance to reach the last level.
I got to stage 4 - Sydney, 50270 points.
