Very nice game. I read the backstory and wish it was incorporated into the the actual game Where I could know the story through play. - maybe an expansion on this in the future?  -A mini story telling scene before the game starts? 

Either way the music does give it a good mood and its a quick and fun challenge. I only got 88 down the first time, but my second run through I took out 250! I feel the more you play the better you'll get at this game. 

It looks very professional. Well done and thank you for sharing.

Thanks for playing!  I agree, I would love to have given the game a better intro, with at least a title screen to set some context.  And yes, the more you play the more you start getting a feel for the enemy spawning patterns, how to better use the orbiting flames effectively (at times I use them like a scythe through a group of enemies or as a spear to poke a nearby enemy), and when to use and preserve the transformation (such as transforming right when you are about to get swarmed might not be safe, so you need to give it a little bit of a buffer to finish).  That's what I've enjoyed about Survivors-like games, discovering the patterns and practicing the mechanics until you can do some cool strategies with them! :)

"The user doesn't read"... This time I had to experience it in my own flesh, when I became the being of fire, I died instantly... hahahaha. I love survivors, your game is excellent

Probably the best implementation of the theme I've seen yet. Truly being weak even while having "all" the power!
The graphics are clean and crisp. The audio feels epic and in line with the do-or-die scenario. The controls are simple, fluid, and easy to adapt to.

Thanks for playing, and glad it was a good experience for you!
