Nice concept and pleasant music! I had fun jumping around and setting things on fire.

That said, there's a handful of issues I want to mention. Please don't take this too harsh, I appreciate that you made a custom engine and as a result it took a lot more effort compared to a tool like game maker or unity :)

Installers are annoying (for a game jam at least), most users don't want a link in their start menu, a simple .zip file would do just fine. Furthermore, the installed application doesn't actually launch the game, it just gives you a welcome message. You have to navigate to the installation folder to actually play it.

Very slow controls (how about some acceleration when you hold a button for a long time?)

Misleading graphics - I thought I was stuck in the first room, because the door and wall look identical.

Burnt objects seem to persist between the two floors, which is strange. There was nothing to do on the second floor. Maybe you were planning to add more content here but ran out of time?

Game crashes when closed, instead of exiting gracefully.

Still, solid effort all around, congrats on the entry!
