I thnik the stronges point of your game is the athmosphere. It's really unsettling, outherworldish, dangerous. You Could try adding a bit of juice and particles for the extra polish :)

Developer

Thanks! I didn’t quite think of adding particles. Maybe I’ll do it post-jam!

Nice! Short, simple, but well-polished, which is very important.

It would be cool if there was something to drive home the idea that you're playing as a firefly. Maybe make the movement feel more floaty or continuous, like you're actually flying through the air. Or make bumping into walls damage you, since there's no real losing conditions except accidentally lighting two candles in a row, which is easily avoidable.

But overall, well done for something made in just seven hours!

Thanks for the feedback! I did notice that there were no hazards for the player, but I never got free time to implement them.

Cheers.
