I really liked the 'grow the light' mechanic in your cute platformer.

For feedback: Music and sound effects could have really helped bring the game to life.  The glide mechanic and animation was great; having an walking animation as would have made it feel even better.  The art style of the squirrel and animals was very nice.  While it becomes clear that you need to go back to the fire, it could be nice to have some kind of audio or visual indicator that you have enough materials to interact with the fire again.  You camera zoom out as the light grows was perfect.  Finally, I'm glad to see you had a vignette applied to your game view; I think it could have been much darker to reinforce that the light was only able to reach so far, and beyond was in darkness.

Great game submission.  I enjoyed playing.
