Grog sit on sidelines of romantic love life, until one day passing lightning get grabby and reach for Grog stick. Now stick have fire. Now Grog have chance with girl!
Eight levels of side-scrolling platforming action!
A/D or left /right to move, W or Up to jump.
You must keep your fire lit! Blow on it by HOLDING space or enter. But beware! This will burn down the stick faster!
Levels are algorithmically generated. If you die, you can restart the same level, or generate a new one. Either way, just have fun! Thanks for playing!
Great idea ! I love it ! Blowing on the torch, really cool and the particules effects of the fire are great ! Excellent work ! Grog doesn't like rain ;)
I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but the walking is so extremely slow, that I think, I could experience a bug. Any idea? I also think, holding space should lighten up the fire faster.
This is hilarious. I love that there is actually no pretty cave-lady at the end ^o^// also, Grog's voice is great. Did you do the voice acting? I thought of doing an a cappella cover of the zelda theme for my game... but didn't.
Grog's jumping is what makes this game hard. I really like the smoke effects too. Overall, a very cute and fun game. It would be a prime candidate for having a leader-board!
Running with sticks is not a good idea, but I don't think Grog is smart enough to know that. I found myself constantly watching the stick thinking: "Can I get a little farther without blowing on it?". It creates a bit of tension and a nice sense of accomplishment when you complete a level. I also like the fact that you used procedural generation for the levels. It can take a bit of tweaking, but once you have the generator dialed in, you have infinite content. Nice job.
Great idea, controls left a bit to be desired. The acceleration seems to be different every time you start running, sometimes he doesn't really start moving at all.
Good job! The mechanic of the torch is very clever and works well with the theme. Didn't liked the physic/controls though. Also a few time Grog didn't wanted to move and jumping fixed that issue.
This game is more fun than it should be haha - humor is great, and I love Grog's sound (some of the other sfx could use some touching up). Gets perhaps a little too difficult a little too fast..
Awesome use of theme and a great innovative twist on platforming. The difficulty spikes quickly and my stick burned down to nothing without me realizing that it was getting close. The fire is very obvious and you can stop and blow on it when needed but the feedback for the stick itself is a bit lacking.
Platforming was a little loose and floaty but it works in this game because this is some dumb caveman guy running to find true love with a burning stick in his hand. He ain't no Meatboy and he doesn't have to be.
Funny sounds, too. The visuals do the job. Great entry!
Really like the concept for this, I thought the rain levels were especially cool. I felt like the controls were a little awkward though, and that made me put this down before I could finish. Still pretty fun though, and great work for 48 hours! Also I'll add that the dying sound was great and humour in general was awesome :)
Humor and innovation in this game were top notch: the mechanics are superb. I could see this game being expanded (climatic interaction maybe?). Good job!
Great idea! Keeping the flame alive is fun! Loved the variation with the rain level. Background graphics are a bit too repetitive (tile patterns do not vary much) but Grog is cute. Sound FX are cool (especially the DANG one). Could use a more appropriate font for text.
The game is pretty good. The collisions were a bit bouncy, but otherwise fine. The level generation also was fair (I didn't run into any impossible jumps or extensive rain runs)

I hate when it's raining!
Right now it felt a repetitive just running and jumping and blowing ad infinitum.
