How does your game meet GBJam's theme?
For the GB part :
I tried to respect the GB constraints as much as possible !
For the spooky part :
You play as a Candle that has to keep his fire going during a spooky night.
Watch out for nightmare hands as you try to survive as long as possible ! Because once the fire is unlit, the only flame remaining is you, and you are the next one on the nightmare's list.
But, did it really happened or... Were you asleep all along ?

This is the perfect scope for a jam game. A nice concept executed nicely. Beautiful presentation, cool atmosphere.
This is a very solid entry, congrats!
Thanks a lot !
Definitely, it is one of the games made. Congratulations.
Thanks !! Appreciate it !
very nice concise idea and a great shot for a solo dev! I specially love the animations and art, very beautiful work. I think a coulple of songs and more varied sfx would go a long way too!
Thanks a lot ! I take note of this and will try to improve on that for my next jam 🙏
I really love the game over screen! This is fun, addictive, way to go!
Thanks you very much 🙏 Glad you had little fun with it !
Nice entry. It fits. How can you defend the fire from the hands though? Just walk all over them?
Yes ! You walk over the hand part to make them flee 👌 But once they get to your fire, it's over you can't get rid of them, they increase the fire decay rate
It's a simple game, but you still managed to evoke emotions. I got a desperate urge to keep my fire lit. A status bar letting me know long I had till my fire went out would have been helpful. That's the only critique I have. It's a solid little game for the jam. Nice job!
Thank you very much, really appreciate that ! And thanks for playing ^^
a status bar would be cool indeed! great idea
I like the aesthetics. Straightforward, good visuals, awesome death screen.
Hey Dave, thanks for the feedback ! What controller do you use ? (I use a xbox one controller and it works, but maybe I did something wrong)
I tried it again, and controller did work, so it was something in my end. I use logitech gamepad f310
Ooh ok nice glad it worked then 🙏
Fun little game, tight controls and an easy to understand goal.
Thanks a lot !
