Doesn't Match by Eric Florio
The power is off, your only source of light is a candle, and you have a small fear of fire. At least you have an infinite amount of matches.
A, S, D = arm segments
Space = pinch
Enter = draw match
W = blow
Rover the mouse over the achievements for more info.

Very fun. It took me awhile to actually get a match to light but once I did... oh boy... I might need a new house

Very interesting, reminds me a lot of QWOP and Surgeon Simulator. Really cool to abstract something so simple in that way. I also really liked the whole look of this, really sells the idea. Great work!

Its really funny. I did manage to light the match, but not the candle unfortunately haha.

Really nice aesthetic and a fun way to use the theme. I always enjoy these types of games where you feel clumsy at the beginning but once you get a hang of the controls; it starts to feel good. Nice that you have different goals as well. I was able to light the candle and catch the match mid air. I don't know if I will be fast enough to light the candle and blow out the match though. Overall, amazing work!

Graphics are good, maybe the movements of his arms could be a little faster... sometimes I feel lack of patience

I liked it! I couldn't figure out the last 2 achievements, though.

Very funny game, the art style really fits well with the whole mood. I suck at games like QWOP so I sucked at this game too. Still enjoyed it a lot.

This made me laugh. In a good way. Kind of reminds me of Octodad where normal activities are just difficult to do. Well done. I also dig the art work.

Damn, it`s really hard. It`s idea like Octodad or Surgeon Simulator, but simplier.

Why is it so hard to light up the match? I was always too slow...

Super difficult, but once you light a match its worth it just for the sense of accomplishment.

Well done! I especially like the graphics and the fun diversity in the achievements. I was a little confused at first about the angle I needed to be at to pick up the match, but I got the hang of that part after doing it once. It felt nice and polished and the touches of feedback ("too slow", etc) made it feel like a complete game jam game.

Like the difficulty of the game. When you get a hang of the game it turns out to be very fun. Liked the graphics. Great job!
