Hey! I commented on your game because it was on my list, but to answer your question here:
Once I looked at the game page and saw that I could use the torch, holding it up and seeing it affect the wolves felt good. The only thing that didn't click for me was the degree to which I was affecting them, and whether they or I had come out on top when I spent a few seconds holding the torch up at them and then they dashed at me. The times that they exploded were super satisfying, though.
