This game is pretty difficult. The graphics are very well done!

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 ;)

Nice lighting! The jumping is a bit awkward, but the art is nice and the levels interesting.

Why I always drop Grog? I never know. Great game!

occash 2013-12-16 19:37

Graphics and physics of flame are very good!

2013-12-16 20:00

Awesome! Very Fun great anxiety and relief. Nice challenge and great colors.

McFunkypants 2013-12-16 21:10

Wow, great job! Good use of a particle system for the torch. With I could blow while in the air! =)

celsyum 2013-12-16 21:35

fun game

arrogant-gamer 2013-12-16 21:42

I wish I could play, but: Unity Web Player! One day they will support my OS.

conormn 2013-12-16 22:11

Fun mechanic! Enjoyed having to protect something fleeting.

Jeremias 2013-12-16 22:16

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.

Jeremias 2013-12-16 22:23

Okay, I played the windows version to download and didn't experienced the bug again like I did in the web version. Strange...

arrogant-gamer 2013-12-16 22:25

Wait! Linux Build! Now I see it!

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!

latfoued 2013-12-16 23:05

I really like the concept and the art, but it's pretty hard because you dont have much control over the jump. nice job

boaheck_artgent 2013-12-16 23:13

Fun but difficult. A difficulty setting would have been nice.

severus 2013-12-16 23:17

Nice graphics and game is chalenging enough.

raisedmedia 2013-12-16 23:24

Really liked the concept and the application of the theme.

recursor 2013-12-17 00:49

Did I miss the link to your source code? Where is it?

Oreganik 2013-12-17 01:38

Hey Recursor! Sorry about that... I added the link just now.

udellgames 2013-12-17 02:35

A lot of good fun, nice and difficult. The lighting effect is subtle but beautiful and the sound is fantastic.

mystakin 2013-12-17 04:06

This game is funny! It's also challenging, perhaps too challenging for me. Still an awesome concept and humorous execution.

hypnohustla 2013-12-17 12:05

Love the character and the voices. Simple and nice gameplay, perhaps the jumping could be a bit smoother. :) Solid job!

hiku 2013-12-17 14:36

Really hard but fun :)

recursor 2013-12-17 14:51

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.

zhrack 2013-12-17 17:02

Nice game! Good difficulty overral and...Procedual levels! I love procedural things! Good job!

jaj 2013-12-17 20:06

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.

jlauener 2013-12-17 21:09

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.

omaha 2013-12-17 21:17

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..

adventureislands 2013-12-17 22:28

Pretty interesting take on a platformer! Played otherwise well, but the jumping physics were really wonky and caused way too many unneccessary deaths.

popsoya 2013-12-17 22:35

I like the concept. Clever!

sonnybone 2013-12-18 07:53

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!

vaelzan 2013-12-20 08:24

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 :)

glovecat 2013-12-20 10:56

I's pretty challenging but also really fun :)
I hate when it's raining!

rnlf 2013-12-22 01:55

It is so difficult! The controls are not in my favor. Nice graphical style!

jgpicatoste 2013-12-22 10:57

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!

moosefly 2013-12-22 21:17

It's a solid game, but I think the core mechanic of keeping the torch lit could be improved. Somehow. Maybe.

Right now it felt a repetitive just running and jumping and blowing ad infinitum.

greytram 2013-12-26 11:09

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.

smash-ball 2013-12-26 21:30

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)

eskivor 2013-12-27 00:05

I took some time to understand that I had to stop walking to blow

xrm0 2013-12-28 12:22

Nice graphics and game

beavlgames 2014-01-04 03:29

Nice take on the theme. Game mechanics are interesting, but waiting and blowing could get somewhat frustrating. Keep up the good work!

bradleysmith 2014-01-04 19:48

Interesting gameplay mechanic, smoke and fire effects too. :)
