Twas the night before Christmas, when the world all was dark, Not a colour in sight, not even a spark. With the snow slowly falling, so beautiful and white, From the darkness appeared a brave, but faint light.
A spirited little flame only gets one chance to restore light to a colourless world. In just 4 levels, its your task to light all the matches swiftly before the snow puts your flame out.
Will you help him make his mark with his one chance?
CONTROLS: Jump - Space Move - Arrow keys and WASD

wow! really really great! the flame and artwork of the game is just awesome. i could see it being a little simpler in the beginning to keep players hooked longer
Really atmospheric! I liked the music and the graphics immensely. Gameplay-wise, I would have liked it if lit matches extended your life a bit, albeit that might have spoiled the mood. Still, I really like it!
The music and graphics fit the theme perfectly. The lighting was appropriate for the concept of a dying flame. The melancholic tune made me want to prevent the flame from dying.
The jump mechanic was a little difficult to use at first. I'd also echo Red Mike's comment about lit matches extending the life a bit.
I played through it. The game's strength is the overall style and the mood. The graphics and the audio fit very well. Respective the gameplay, I have the following feedback: - Add a retry button for a fast retry. I often waited for having my next try. - If you miss one or two jump, it's all over. Did you considered to add some light to the flame after hitting a match? - Add some sound effects! :D - The burning up should start not before I make the first move (just for comfort reasons).
If you use the arrow keys to jump up, you perform a shorter jump that isn't tall enough to clear most obstacles, and you can't beat level 1. Other than that, cool.
I really enjoyed the visuals and the sounds. These are probably the most neglected aspects of a game in gamejams but you guys gave the attention it needed and executed it well. The first level could be easier though as it's difficult to jump to the fourth matchstick. But anyway I hope you guys keep the fire burning :)
Lovely ambiance with the audio and visuals. I liked the ending. The difficulty curve was steep, and I was hoping for some more variety, but I still enjoyed playing it. I look forward to hearing about the sequel.
Really really nice game : the music and art are great and super cute, and the gameplay is simple but enjoyable.:) However, I think the scoring/speedrun aspect of the game doesn't fit the poetic experience you decided to offer.

(spoiler alert!)
The final flight is really cool, I didn't expect it!
Everything has to be perfect and timed. I like the idea, very nice. Awesome work guys!
@Red Mike & @gnerkus: You do actually gain 1 second of life for every torch you light, just not very visible, should probably extend it a bit. :)

Good work!
Level design is not as good as graphics is sometimes, but it's still attractive :)
Good job!
