Looks really really nice! Gameplay is tight. A couple minor details would be that when you jump but are touching a wall it feels like there is some friction there that is a tiny bit frustrating.
Another game did a similar concept but death packs more of a kick, I think that type of feel/crunch/juice would help this so that fading out the flame doesn't quite feel frustrating but more so almost enjoyable to watch when it happens. Probably something that would require more time though.

Hi, thanks so much for your feedback! For the friction on the jump, are you referring to how there's like a little bit of pushback? As for the death, I agree it definitely feels a bit weak. I'll keep that in mind. Do you remember the title of the game you're referring to? I would love to go and see how to improve the death animation. Thanks for playing!
I think it was this game https://itch.io/jam/wowie-jam-3/rate/939105
As for pushback, no I meant more so that jumping while touching a wall felt like you wouldn't jump as high, I can't remember exactly. Maybe it wasn't the case.
