How does your game fit the theme?
The idea is the gentle silence of an enchanted forest.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
The code and the artwork yes, but not the sound effects.

Really nice, calm game!

Cool concept, especially the checkpoint system which is also the core of the game. Wind swirls are way too unpredictable, and the slow movement makes it kinda frustrating going back to re-lit the candle. Also didn't understand how it fits the theme.

Played through your game on stream, if you wanted to watch me go through it ive got the vod below timestamped to your game

Nice little platformer, but it need more challenge. Some ambient sound could be great too.  I like the tileset, especially the mist background. You could play a bit more with different direction of the wind, and perhaps make the ghost float with wind (but always protecting the candle by blocking wind).

Great game! The artwork was pretty nice, could be a bit harder but overall solid game :)

I like the vibe but don't really get the calm before the storm here because it is just calm and windy. I found it kinda difficult to get past the wind, not really sure when to go or how to avoid them. Also it is a bit tedious having to walk all the way back all the time but pretty cool game!

Submitted

nice game, only had to go back 1 time because the wind blew out my candle, difficulty may be ramped up a bit :)

Hey there, I like the cozy vibe but I think you should add more game's mechanism, I love the main menu design though :D

Submitted

I found it too simple, I was able to run forward and never get hit buy the wind cause they were always above me, as long as I didn't jump I was fine. 

Art is cute and the audio gives be the feeling someone is watching me

I really like the ghost is super cute and the fact that you trying to lid bon fires :) Cozy vibes!

Submitted

cool concept! I like that the bonfires were like check-points in the game. And I enjoyed timing the run just right to avoid the wind. great game.

I like the art and aesthetic. The gameplay wasn't hard enough for me, maybe I just got luck with the wind spawns.

Neat idea!

The idea of lighting campfires as checkpoints and protecting your flame is nice.
Pretty hard, but fun nonetheless.
