Fun Game and cool mechanics, but it's bad for speedruns (the timer doesn't restart if you restart the game :laughing: , but on most respawns i spawn jumping nice speedrun-strats
and i totally agree with you, would have loved to play more levels

good game for speed runs, but timer wont reset between atempts and jumping needs some fine tuning. More levels would be nice as well

I really do like the premise and think you did a good job designing something based on the theme. However, the way in which the character dies when his fire runs out isn't explained all that well and takes a lot of trial and error to figure out, and the dying feels more random and frustrating than it does a inherent part of the game's mechanics. Still, the idea of having to get a character from point A to point B quickly and precisely is really cool!

@thedoctoroftime I will :smiley:
@adnonymous5 Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you like it, I was so worried about explaining the buttons that I forgot to explain about the fire lol, sorry for the frustration :sweat_smile: I will change that!

Nice game! I'd suggest changing the way the camera works though, didn't like that I couldn't see where I was going before I reached the edge of the screen, especially when every jump counts. Other than that had fun playing this entry, good job!

Short and fun. I like how you added different difficulty levels to make the game more accessible. Looks very polished graphically. Played until I got a deathless run on hard mode: 30.07seconds.

Seeing as this game is fun to do fast, it would be nice if there was an onscreen timer, and a way to restart from the very first level (resetting the timer to 0). Nevertheless, I had fun playing!

Short and sweet! Was fun to try to speedrun this. I got to just above 30 seconds.
