Torch Lighter is all about a first-day lighter in a creepy castle. Try to lead the lighter into finding out how to light all the torches! The game was made by a small fraction of a small team of developers. We hope you enjoy

Nice simple little game. I'm missing a little bit more reaction time when the spikes appear, also waiting a moment before showing the game over screen when you die would be nice, sometimes I didn't even see why I died.
Nice job on this one. Using the darkness to change the obstacles is a smart way to work around the "one screen" limitation and keep things fresh. I felt like the tutorial at the beginning really didn't explain enough (and while the voice acting was a nice touch, it was a little too long).
Would be nice if you had a health bar or something so the spikes weren't fatal...there were a few times where I thought I was being careful enough, but those spikes pop up really fast and close!
I really liked the music, the graphics, i was a little unsure what i was supposed to do, so i just ran right and jumped when i could, the collision on the spikes seemed alittle unfair, and sometimes i lost my jump ability which im not sure why.
Beautiful game though, and nice idea, i think there could have been alittle more direction as to what you were set out to do since the first 5 torches i just had to run right.
Well, you got the basics down well enough; it has animation and music, and it's playable, so that's good! However, the gameplay was kind of...vague. I run along and jump over spikes, sure, but I don't really know how that affects the torches. Ultimately I got into an apparently infinite loop; I would continually run left, the torches would come on, then they would go off...and so on.
For a real game, you'd really need instructions somewhere; just something that says, like, "arrows to move". Also, the bit with the voice was good, but there was no way to skip it once I had read the text!

Thanks for your feedback. The idea of the game is more ambitious, more traps, more corridors, but we can't develops it in time. We need show how the mechanics of the corridors work because for each floor is different.
Muy bueno juego. Gráficos muy guapos y animación excelente. Me ha gustado mucho y querría ver mas aventuras de este caballero y de sus creadores.

Nice entry though ^^

But you can jump the voice with Esc.
The game isn't bad at all!
