Interesting gameplay, I like the way the theme is treated with the candle that gradually shrinks:)

I think using the little fireflies to explain how to play at first wouldn't have been too much, but I'm already doing very well like that; congratulations!

This is overall a fun little game. The idea for the game is simple and good. The visual style is great, and the music is okay but it could have been better. The only small complain I have, is that it is difficult to see were the player collides with walls/spikes.

This is really good use of the theme! The lying fireflies almost jebaited me, haha!
I have one feedback. I feel like the game is about searching and finding the end before your candle melts away completely and yet I found myself dying to spikes a lot and never actually died by melting away. Perhaps the spikes shouldn't be instant death? Instead decreases your candle size. I feel like that would make the game more difficult, but fairer at the same time.

@pablotitan @zax @skylark721 Thank you !

@skylark721 You're right on the spikes problems, if we had to do it again it would be better to use some kind of heat source rather than spikes. Thank you :)

Nice use of the theme ! Good character design, it fits the overall concept of your game pretty well ! You added some polish with all the animations, and that's good ! I like how the game is guiding the player with the pixies ! (And I like too that some pixies are... not helping the player at all haha) (I SAW THE SPIKES YOU LITTLE ROGUE PIXIE !)
Overall, nice game :) !

Interesting game, definitely an innovative idea and pulled off well. Cool job for your first game, guys! IF you continue it, I'd add more mechanics that deal with light. At the moment, it seems to be just a way to see what's ahead of you. It would be really cool to light torches, burn ropes, etc.
