Pyrokidiac by Emmanuel Gaillot
Kid likes to play with fire. Help Kid keep the fire alive.
I wanted to make a game in the fashion of the old Game and Watch eletronic games from Nintendo.

I think if you would have placed the wood on the screen, it would have been more obvious as to what you were trying to do. Keep in mind, most people either skim or skip instructions altogether. So either make them fun to read, or integrate them into the gameplay somehow. Overall though, nice work on this.
Very retro, and great art.
I think some more expansion on the gameplay mechanic may have added an extra layer to it (Fire spreads out of control or something?), but still a solid little time waster.
As others have said, visual prompts would have saved me a few restarts.
a restart button would be helpful, other than that very fun minigame :)
Death comes quite quickly though, could have been more easy for the starters.
Good one overall.
Cheers
