Disclaimer: I fully understand this is a game jam game not everything can be done but even then I give very "tough" feedback so if you can't handle that kind of "criticism" it's ok just don't read my message.
While it was an alright atmosphere, the levels were a little too dark to actually see what's going on.
The respawn mechanic is an interesting concept but flawed execution as having to backtrack from one end to the other to relit that one random torch/candle/something can prove to be quite the task and also not really intuitive in contrast to having the last lit one be the one that went out and while I do see that happen sometimes, a bug (I think it's one atleast) happens where that last one is relit anyways as soon or just when you are about to respawn without doing anything which ends up causing a light soft lock in the 3rd level.
The cage's metal sound can get kind of obnoxious and is kind of loud so be careful with that.
Instead of having to press escape then restart level everytime you could make a keybind for restarting the level instead
That is all I hae to say for now, interesting concept, alright atmosphere, it's not bad.

I don't mind though feedback and appreciate you taking the time to give extensive feedback. The criticism you make are valid points.
Yeah the random torches going out I think is fine in the smaller levels but on the last level it's more of a nuisance than a fun game mechanic. I think the mechanic would be fine if the whole level fits on one screen and you can relatively easily relight the torch without having to backtrack.
Thanks for playing
