How to play

Hold mouse button to move the puppet, double-clic to make it jump! Carry the flame and feed it with some wood to increase it's power! Using it for elevator deplete its energy, but you will keep it alive at any cost right?

This was original :)
But I fall between two platforms and could not get back up because the elevator was still up, so I could not finished it (it was almost where there is a second character)

A really cool atmosphere, still a few places where you could get stuck but it's only a good reason to stay and enjoy the awesome soundtrack!(Kept my browser opened for a while to keep it running!)

I kept getting stuck on the box when trying to jump onto/over it and couldn't progress past the first level.
Really liked the music though, when the bass came in I was like: "this is my jam!" :smile:

The game establishes the mood really well. The music and graphics are really nice. The gameplay is good but a bit too difficult I find. Nice game, good job.

Nice visuals and audio. Interesting concept that you are not able to leave the radius around the fire.

The animations are so beautiful! I really enjoyed the gameplay mechanics but took a while until I understood that I can pick up the fire (Nooby me!). Wish you good luck nice entry!

The style, art and animation are awesome! The music is also very good! I had to play it with a laptop mouse and it was a bit difficult, I couldn't play too much, though. But great job, liked it!

I loved your graphics and your music and SFX were top!
I found the controls a bit clunky with having to double press mouse while moving. I would have made the movement with WASD and use the mouse only to interact with the things.
But otherwise: Very well done game!

Mechanic is very innovative, gameplay is superb. And the very very minor minus: it will be better if controls were showed inside game.

Awesome game. First one to get me hooked. But there should be way to get back if you fall down. Restarting the whole game is a bit frustrating.

Very nice game, great graphics and audio, some collision were a bit strange though but good idea

Wow, really fun! I found the mechanics really fun, I'd like to see this game reach it's full potential. I guess you hinted at the "fire canibalism" where you can put the other puppet to feed your fire in the description, I'd like if it posed a bigger dilemma somehow? Oh also the bigger the fire the bigger your reach is was really cool!

Game play interesting. I pushed the crate too far to the right and I don't think I should have done that. Very polished game, excellent job.

wow, I think it's the first one I put 5 stars on mood (loved the ending) .. I felt the puzzle pretty straight forward tho, a harder one would make it perfect, but still awesome entry!

Perhaps dragging the mouse upward (away from the player) could be another way to jump instead of always double clicking. The click boxes on items are a little too precise, imo make it a bit easier to pick things up. Art and music are awesome, and the camera zoom adapting as you go is nice. Fun game. :)

I really like the animation, and the overall vibe of the game. I struggle a bit with the control at first (picking up the flame and stuff), Overall, its a good entry. Well done!
