I really like how the fire spreads from the point of contact. Also, the level design is totally awesome and I think it’s a work of art and shows that you have a deep understanding of game design. When I first played the game, I died a lot and noticed that there was a slight lag after each death. However, as I got better at the game, I died less and didn’t notice any lag

Appreciate the kind words! I had fun messing around with level layouts and playing with how the fireboxes could be used differently for different challenges. I probably need to revisit the boxes though from a performance perspective as they do seem to create lag for some players, probably because each one is constantly checking for other burning boxes that are touching.

I think I got quite far and would definitely continue to the end if it didn't stop working.. The destructible platforms are amazing to watch burn, and think you know this judging by the cool checkpoints. You have certainly shown how much fun your platforms can be. I believe you deserve to win this jam and wish you luck!

Developer

Thank you! Shame you couldn’t finish it, maybe there’s some kind of performance bug going on.

It's really tricky in some areas, but the music and overall ambiance makes it relaxing and easier to focus on! The chained reactions are also impressive!

Developer

I’ve heard it’s difficult a fair few times now, when I was making it because I knew everything worked and had so much practice I found it easier than someone playing it for the first time. Lesson learned, my next game will have an easier difficulty arc!

It's really good, I love the fire mechanic, I will say it is very difficult, and it gets very laggy after a few deaths, but still very good!

Developer

Thanks! Not sure why it gets laggy after death, I’d probably rewrite the firebox code if I were to revisit. I didn’t mean to make it so hard, I didn’t realise when working in my silo that it was so tricky

Simple and original! I like it!

Thank you! :)
