Too hard but it makes it also good. However eventually I stopped playing because I couldn't use space to jump while using arrow keys simultaneously. (Plus Ctrl and R are too far and my fingers hurt, but that's ok.) Great visually, ambitious thing and fun ideas.

Use of the limitation
Each level has a set amount of oxygen. As the player burns stuff, the oxygen will deplete faster, so speed is key to exiting the level alive.

0, but I did eat a bag of raisins.

Really lovely graphics which fit well together and a nice idea for reducing the oxygen when you light a fire just to ensure the player doesn’t just spam it. The controls are a little finicky when you have to time your pinkie to press CTRL to light things in mid air doesn’t feel amazing on the hand, maybe something on the other side of the keyboard for the other hand seeings as it’s free? Like ENTER or RCTRL maybe?

Lightspeed EscapeReally cool mechanics and a unique idea, great job.
Some of the levels are a bit frustrating, screen 5 especially
Adding shift to ignite would make the WASD controls a lot better
While the character is flying in an arc after an explosion you can't control them at all, which is a bit jarring seeing as you can instantly switch directions when in midair from your own jump. Some reduced midair direction control might make this feel better

Superluminal DrifterSuper cool concept. Agree with some of the other comments that it was pretty hard, probably due to the controls being a little awkward. The art and SFX were awesome, and it's a super cool idea that I think with a little tweaking could be awesome! You did a great job as-is though, nice work :)

PRISMOIt takes time time to get used to inputs (Got a bit tired pressing Cntrl) but feels good to complete levels, great realization overall and thanks for those little mushrooms on levels!

Speedy Jester In Zombie CircusJesus this was hard. The controls felt a tad bit hard, and it also took me a lot to figure out, but when I did, I did have fun

laser swirlVery cool game, super creative. I'm not a total fan of the controls - using wasd + ctrl + space got me a tad bit confused, but that's because I don't have easy access to arrows keys on my mini keyboard so hey, I'm also to blame hehe. I got to the end, though, and the challenges were pretty interesting. Good job!

Terminal VelocityThe concept is a really nice idea for the limitation and theme. I liked the tiles you used, I think they blended together well. The game is pretty hard, but I think a big part of that is the small range of the ignite button. If it were a little bigger it would have been perfect in my opinion, but the platforming itself feels good. Good job!

abyssIt's a really interesting concept to replace a timer with the oxygen meter and it's a nice game overall
The only thing I'll say is that many times it feels like the player should be able to jump of the edge of the platform but the player just ends up falling off the edge so the platforming feels a bit unresponsive.
Otherwise a great game
