Sure, I would change the way the reset shows in the game, thank you for pointing out! 

And the ashes actually have individual timers (and thats why too many remains would require more memory), but the trigger to start disappear was not the player but the fire, so it goes like: after the instantiation, it starts to count down and disappear unless the player is near them. A few comments also talked about this problem, I think I would change the trigger to player and make it: unless the player touches them, they would not start disappear like you said, in the next update maybe. Thank you for the thoughts!

Interesting game! I think you did well as a solo developer, the game is good for its various maps and different items to interact, but lack of music and art (even at winning). I suggest you to try to develop a smaller but more complete game. Overall the game theme is interesting, its very clever to think of yin and yang from the jam theme!!

Thank you for your play and such detailed comment!! 

About the ashes lasting time, I would try to find way to make it longer, the algrithm for now is just instantiating them under the fire (which takes more memory), may be I sould try particle system.  

About the enemies, thank you for pointing out, we actually didnt pay enough attention to design the way they interact with the environment,  the hit and eliminate way is just too basic, maybe adding some gates or barriars that could be triggered to block them? Or making the ashes ‘toxic’ and staying on it for too long would light the enemy? I would think about it. 

And, I think I should label it, the reset actually would not reset the enemies but the explosion bubbles and player energy. This is because the final goal would record the time you spend to reach the end no matter how many times reset, so the more player is familar with the map, the less time he/she would spent. Also, the level might be a little bit hard with enemies respawn. Since you consider it a bug, I would reconsider it and try to make some modification.  ( If you mean the reset after reaching goal, I truely didnt make that)

Appreciated for the long comment and those suggestions!

Cool items and good gameplay overall, love this horror game!

Thank you for your comment and play! However the compliment may be a little bit excessive, it's just our immature attempt to create an indie game. I think our game is creative in some aspects and I'm glad you like it, but it also lacks in more aspects and needs improvement. There are many entries for this jam better than ours, I also learned a lot from them.  

Thank you for your play and comment!! About the speed, I have to admit I was afraid the faster speed would cause collision detection problem, and if the ashes remain, it would took more memory and may cause some lag, my algorithms should be optimized... 

About the second page, sorry for that, its almost my first time making this size of game so we only made one page, but I'm glad you reached the end! Appreciated for the suggestions!! 

Thank you for your comment and play!! Appreciated for the suggestions!

Cute animation and the monsters style looks very good!!

Creative way to implement the gameplay! Cool!

A well-done and interesting game, love the storytelling way!

Thank you for your play and comment!! About the background music, it's a sad story, we were not good at making it and which turned out too noisy, so we deleted it and go on without BGM...

Thank you!! Appreciated for your comment!

谢谢！！ww

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!

Interesting idea to perform the theme, great!

Interesting little puzzles! Good idea!

One button and one bit, cool scene changing effect! Nice music!

Like the art effects, a little bit hard at start tho.

Like the hit effect on enemies! Great!

Thank you for your play and comment!!

乍一看好抽象啊，玩了之后感觉还挺奇妙的

Small but fun and intuitive gameplay! Amazing!

Thank you for your play and comment!!

Thank you for your play and comment! We would look into it asap.

Thank you for your comment! We would look into it and try to fix : )

Thank you for your comment and play!! We all like reading comics!

Thank you for your comment!! It's our very first gam jam and we would try to improve it, thank you for your play !!
