The unexpected way in which the level "transformed" twice due to the planks burning down was brilliant! Very nice level design.

The player movement should probably be faster, with (more?) coyote time and with an ability to control the jump height.

Really chill platformer with a few good ideas. It's a bit sad that the only thing you get for winning is You Win.

Well-done platformer with two neat twists (limited visibility and platform destruction), both of which are thematically linked to your character being a flame. Good idea, good implementation. I also like the chill soundtrack. Also, kudos for the forgiving jumps and the clear signaling of how close a platform is to destruction.

One thing that would definitely help the enjoyment of the game would be checkpoints, because it's not that much fun to have to repeatedly traverse the same ground. This is especially the case with a limited-visibility game, where the player needs to experiment, and some experiments will lead to fatal falls. (If you *did* implement checkpoints, I didn't get far enough to notice.)

Who'd of thought it could be so relaxing to be a dying fire?

I guess it's true that fires are their own worst enemy-- the more fiercely they burn the sooner they go out.

Good mechanics and music, they played well with each other.

Interesting game, kinda reminds me of a platformer version of my game.

I was a bit unsure what to do at the beginning though, until i scrolled down to read the page.
