Use of the limitation
You are lost in a dark forest. You need to survive until morning, with only a torch. You are very afraid to be in the forest, especially in the dark. That's why you need to watch your torch. Collect tree branches, and try not to let your torch go out. You have a weak heart. No one knows how a long stay in the terrible darkness can end. Hold out until sunrise to find your way out of the forest.

My partner and me didn’t have time for that during development. We were very tired.

A nice and complete game experience, well done! I do appreciate the subtle time management aspect.

Good game! It's a little challenging near the end, but it creates a really tense atmosphere. I just barely made it to 5 minutes. I like that the torch's light shrinks/grows as time passes and you find sticks, that extra bit of feedback really adds to the experience.

We’re glad you liked it! Could you leave your rate? :)

Oops! Totally forgot to save my rating before I left the page. Nice catch. Done

I like it! I probably just suck but I couldn't find a single stick at the end so I died like 3-4 minutes in. Still very fun!

Considering that in all the development time, I was able to pass my own game no more than 3 times, your result is very good :)

This was cool. I like how it's the first game i've played in this jam that didn't have any noticeable bugs (including my own! lol)

I like the art and light affects, I just wish I could eat the mushrooms :P

Fun game, I liked the art and atmosphere, but the game was a little too easy in my opinion.

I liked the atmosphere a lot. I think the game could be a little bit shorter, but overall it was fun. A small change that might improve gameplay might be to move collect to the spacebar, as that makes it easier to not have to stop moving in a particular direction to grab a stick.

Great atmosphere, really helped by the ominous soundtrack. I like the graphical representation of the torch slowly dying, it adds well to a panicky feeling while playing...well done.

good concept, but it felt like it was way too hard to find all the branches you need to last 5 minutes. the pixel art could also be improved.

Nice presentation. Very clean. I like the ambient music. Chill but intense. Well done!
