How does your game fit the theme?
You are a flame in a dungeon build for a player that isn't constantly shrinking, Thus since you are fire you are shrinking making it harder to navigate through and see what is around in the dungeon.

Wow, very atmospheric game and cool use of theme. I like how you become smaller.
Check out our game too, please :3
One of the best game! It was great to play and the idea is awesome! The fps was a little bit too low sometimes
Such a strong atmosphere.
Some runs were super tricky to find the exit, but still had a lot of run with it.
Core gameplay mechanic is super creative and feels like a very unique experience overall.
Loved this one.
Cool horror rougleike. The double use mechanic is always cool to see. I had a bit of trouble finding the exit sometimes. I think having the exit sound be a bit more panned and common would be nice. Great job!
It would be awesome if you could rate my game too!
Very cool game, loved the aesthetic. As some others mentioned, while I was playing I found myself wishing that I didn't slow down so much when I shrunk (though I think slowing down some is a good idea!), that the embers restored more flame, and that the some of the hitboxes were a little larger. I kept missing the candlesticks even though it looked like it should have hit, and picking up the embers was a little finicky.
I've been working on a post jam update so I've been keeping these suggestions on my mind! Thanks for playing.
Love the ideas here! The colors for the flames against the less saturated walls, along with the shaders, create a lovely visual treat. Moving slowly at low health is a little annoying however. It's also hard to tell where I have and haven't been so finding the exit is a bit tricky in a frustrating way rather than a skill issue way. Cool game!
The vibe for this game is great. I really appreciate all of the homemade sound effects lol. My only complaint is that the most optimal way to play is to avoid fighting enemies, so it gets a little boring. But with some added features this could be really cool as a full release!
Really cool vibe. The first time I played I never saw the grates and just falling through like that unexpectedly was very fun. I think if you didn't slow down so much when running low on time and if you got much more time back collecting that item, this game would be much more enjoyable. At around 30 it feels almost pointless to play and picking up to get +1 on the timer feels useless. Outside that, fun and good job on making the most with the visuals and audio.
Good art style and atmosphere. I really love the aesthetics! Gameplay could be expanded by adding some way to get the flame bigger again and overall more stuff to find/do. Great work!
This is literally the coolest game I've ever played on itch.io. I just wish each run would last longer, maybe by getting more fire back from killing enemies or lampposts. I love the hands, reminds me of Hylics. The UI is also very intuitive and intrusive, very dynamic. Wonderful job!
I I I LOVEEEE BURNING OUT!!!!
Spooky!
Love the art style, very unique! Fun game. Good job!
No way, the aesthetic of the game is crazy good !! Was kinda scary to play but loved playing it !
terrifying! had a lot of fun with this, love the aesthetics. really nothing to note here! great job
The atmosphere sold this for me. Really cool idea!
Awesome Art Style.
I started off taking my time, but realized I need to go pretty fast to get to the lower levels without burning out. Really awesome style, love the old-school dungeon crawler aesthetic!
omg the vibes were amazing!!!! i also loved the tension with the health too
The lighting is so cool and the game gives off such amazing vibes. Great game!
Got to floor 15.
