Nice game! Im a sucker for any game where you roll dice so I instantly got sucked in.
I think the game has a lot of potential, im hoping that you add some way to spend your cinders or some way to alter each run, such as choosing which dice get rolled or adding new faces to dice or just adding new dice completely - though if you continue to develop dark flames im sure I will be happy with whatever you add :)

Prince of Darkness Jr. Hi! Thank you so much for the feedback!
We are happy to see how much love the game is receiving. We have a lot of ideas (but you know, the game jam's time constraint was very tight, and we couldn't add 90% of the stuff we planned). But we're considering creating a full game based on this "barebones demo." So, please, follow the main dev to receive updates if you want :D
Really cool concept and I love the artwork! I found the size of the player took me out of the experience a bit because there wasn't an option to full screen it. So if I wanted to read the text and look at the art, I would have to scroll the page left or right to see everything. I'm not sure what engine you used but you may have a way to turn on a fullscreen option on the itch page and that would help a lot.
One other suggestion I would have is using cinders to light the torch. That would be a really cool addition that makes players balance safety versus reward. I think there is a lot you could do to take the concept even farther after the jam if you wanted. Overall, really fun game so nicely done!

Umbral InterludeYeah, we're struggling with the fullscreen / resolution thing building from Unity. I'm trying at this exact moment to fix it, but I don't have found a solution yet (activating the fullscreen option in itch seems to create some strange issue with the position of the elements on the screen).
So... A long night in front o me.
The idea of using the cinders to light the torch is cool. Thank you!
it's really shown that u've put a lot of time and effort in it.
Everything feels smooth as hell, the graphics are stunning!
Having said that, it was kind of hard to read and i couldnt understand what was going on, above that "cinders" word there's a button that you click i dont know what it does, the roll button is clearly a roll but to what ends?
I'm sure this was due to lack of time though, i gave u really good score :)

ShadowLight Siblingshi! Thank you for the feedback and the rating!
The two starting areas are the ‘tutorial’. Basically you enter in a new area and you roll dice to discover what you lose an what you gain (Hp, sanity, cinders).
Some areas are darker and you need to light the torch, spending a charge. This way you will have more chance to avoid troubles.
