When on the ladder, it would be better if player could change direction to throw gas or match.

My Avast detects a `Win32:Malware-gen` in your game.

Anyone have any ideas why Avast is detecting something with my game? I checked my .exe at VirusTotal and apparently Avira also doesn't like it, either, but everything else is fine: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/0f4c1d35e39db6054ea59995811ab838cfe08d74e9f3f2d5d557008abc74db03/analysis/1429627679/

Nevermind, I have figured it out. It was the way I compiled the game. I was compiling it into a single executable for ease of distribution, and Avast/Avira was detecting it as a false positive. I have re-uploaded the zip file version of Life Support that was compiled in a different manner to avoid being detected as a false positive.

This was really cool. I loved how you combined horror and arcade elements. That was an awesome mechanic and it worked even when I expected it wouldn't. I loved how if you kept pouring the gasoline while it was on fire it could follow the trail up to you. Really cool effects!

Looks like it's a good game! I liked the graphics based on the screenshots you took of it. Unfortunately I wasn't able to run you game (I'm using MAC OS X). You should consider later building a OS X and/or a web version! I'll come back later to play your game then :D
Looks like you've done a good job

Amazing game, difficult though. Had a hard time getting past about level 4 with my poor platformer skills and my inability to plan my fires effectively and safely. I somehow missed the tutorial "cutscene" the first time through, so I was a bit confused, but caught it the second time through. Feels very classic, and that's a good thing.

I like the gasoline mechanics and that it's similar to arcade or NES games.

I love this style of graphics and audio. I noticed no bugs except that if you place a fire over the spawn and die from it, when you respawn the fire will still be there and you may get killed a second time (although this isn't too much of an issue).

I like letting the players figure out the controls and the objective on their own

This was a really good game! My only complaint was that the controls were took a little bit to get used to.

putting gasoline then firew to kill? nice idea :o!

This was fun little game. I felt truly enjoyed by killing to enemies with the gas and fire. Especially those weird butterflies :P What could make this game even better could be background music and maybe some configuration with the keyboard controls.? :)
