Really cool concept! One change I would recommend is adding some sort of indicator when your flame is about to go down a bar. Maybe a little health bar somewhere? Or maybe your screen turns red when you're about to lose a bar.

LOVE THIS!

this is fun and very creative, maybe not fitting to the theme but it is still cool and challenging

A bit too challenging IMHO, the torches are spaced too far apart to be helpful the further you go along & the constant mild stamina drain means the opportunity cost of being forced to dash into boxes in the exit hallway is too high because it's impossible to get to a torch in time afterwards. If there wasn't a constant stamina drain or the torches regenerated over time, that'd be a different story.

Great vibes though, and I like that you put what you learned in the description, I hadn't considered doing that but it brings good vibes of "what can I learn with this project?" energy. Like a one-sentence post mortem.

I think this is one of the best games on this jam! The only moment - I don't sure that this game fits the theme. Some challenging :).
