Great game! The really like the special effect that occurs when you collect a fire heart. The artwork was nice too!

Great game, but the bottom of the screen appears to be cut off.

This was a creative way to follow the theme.

Really simple but satisfying

the particles bouncing as you collect powerups is a nice touch and I do like the characters

Used a tactic of getting hit to catch multiple harts and use the particles to clear rain to win. Due to the hills, this is a race against time in more ways than one.

Interesting and original - kind of like a bullet hell game trying to weave through the water drops. I like that you involved the water in more than one way by having the tide rise. I also liked the expressions on the fireball and the way the character is carrying it. To improve I wish there were some more techniques and options to protect the fireball better especially during the flood.

Neat concept, and the "roaring fire" mechanic when you collect a life works very well! Presentation is clear, no confusion. For future improvement I would suggest animating the flame and maybe storing up the "roaring fire" for later use.

Like others have said, that was simple but fun, but it also had some strong imagery that was a bit esoteric and memorable, which was a really nice touch. :)

Hm, I wasn't able to win in 3 times. It feels very luck-dependent. I still liked the game, you have a good working gameplay loop and the fire is adorable :)
