Fun little game! It's pretty hard to keep all five up on hard mode, my arms start to get tired from all constant clicking lol.

Fun little game! It's pretty hard to keep all five up on hard mode, my arms start to get tired from all constant clicking lol.
I had some trouble rating the game as my finger still wanted to click as many times as possible haha! Very nice game, simple but efficient and totally in theme. Cool graphics and nice music/sound effects
Really enjoyed it.
Good game...my wrist says otherwise. Great entry.
Good entry. I like the gameplay, hard mode was a good idea. 5 was a lot harder to keep going.
Nice and simple. I did get tired of clicking franticly haha.
Congrats! Playing hard mode was my worst and best decision of all time. Downside is that my fingers hurt but on the other end, it was really stressful and a lot of fun keeping the flames up!
@kosmosael Thank you for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
@paroxysmal Thank you!
@badoomtch The hard mode setting was one of the last things I put in and I'm glad I did. Thanks for playing!
@darzu Thanks! Yea the clicking can get tiring and I wish I had a little more time for extra powerups that would have alleviated the click strain.
@kewdev I'm glad you had fun! Thank you so much for checking my game out!
May have broken both left mouse button and finger. 10/10
@everythingisbacon LOL I'm so sorry! I hope you enjoyed yourself though! Thanks for playing!
Simple idea executed well.
I'm getting WarioWare vibes from this game. Really simple and effective. And really good job on the 8bit aesthetics. I wish the game continued past 100 seconds though to drive home the "inevitable" part (or maybe it does if you have all 3 candles, I was down to my last candle).
@lb01 WarioWare definitely crossed my mind while I was making this! I originally had the game go on and on but it was possible to just spam click one flame forever and the hard mode was already demanding on the mouse clicks so I avoided that. Thank you for playing!
Fun theme song, fire is always good to play with.
At least I saved one candle ! :) It was fun well done. I liked the music, colors and the score at the end.
Cool game. A lot of fun for such a simple concept. I managed to get to the end with 2 fuses left.
Lol! they became so fast on the last 20 seconds that i gave up and just tend the middle one! Great job! Music, theme and mood on point!
Got all the fuses saved on easier mode! Fun little game, and I like how you made it have a goal, even though the theme implied endless. Good entry!
@damijin I'm glad you enjoyed the song, it turned out better than I thought it would ahaha! Thank you for playing!
@anonymouspanda Thank you! I'm glad you had fun!
@jzucc12 Thanks!
@glayson Yea as the game goes on they speed up so it gets really hectic very quickly, especially on hard mode. Thank you for playing!
@zantze Congrats on getting all the fuses! Thank you for playing!
Really good execution of a simple concept, just difficult enough I felt like I wasn't going to make it, the song is really catchy too
I beat the hardmode with pen tablet :smile_cat: Nice job, guys!

5/5, would click again xD
Such a simple and ingenious game, i LOVED it!!!
The music was really great! I liked the idea but it become slightly repetitive after a while. But if you throw in a few other game mechanics such as connected flames and such it could be fun to play over and over. Well done!
I think I broke my finger. Thank you, I loved it!
This is a cool entry! I like this take on the theme, and that effect where the flames become smoke is a really nice touch!
@jibberwocky Difficulty was a tough thing to balance in such a short amount of time. I'm glad you enjoyed my game, thanks for playing!
@niklas-zhaga A pen tablet?! Nice! For some reason a tablet never crossed my mind but I guess it makes sense now ahaha!
@orangedragon I'm all about the clicking! Thank you!
@neithernathan I'm glad you loved it! Thank you so much!
@cogcomp Yea I agree, I would have loved to put more modifiers and powerups but you know the time limit and all that. The music was super fun to make so I'm glad you really like it! Thank you for the feedback!
@solidslr Sorry about your finger LOL! Thank you for playing!
@mavvy I spent a little too much time tweaking that smoke effect but I think it was worth it! Thank you for playing!
Simple but right on theme and still super enjoyable!
Simple but effective game. I can see something like this becoming a mobile game sort of like candy crush with a bit more content. Nice job!

Quick, simple, fun carpal tunnel syndrome generator. Wanted to try hard mode but was barely able to get through easy.
This was a really solid simple little game. I tried both modes and hard mode really was hard, haha! I think the gameplay was very intuitive and easy to understand, and the rules of the game clear. It was also fun to juggle between the different candles, and the ice powerups as well.
The ice powerups were a bit strange thematically though. I would expect ice to be cold and therefore make the candles go out even faster. But apparently it freezes the flame in this game. Not really a problem, just funny :D
Very well done! I enjoyed playing it ^_^
simple and effective art + layout, and the particle effect -type bits are a nice touch. Agreed with above comment about mobile game, probably more fun with fingers than mouse. Music was good and fit well.
It's really simple, feels polished and looks very good, especially the particle effect. The music adds a nice touch too. It gets old really fast but it's ok for a jam. Could definitely be expanded with more mechanics and candle types. The theme integration isn't bad although it would have been better without a time limit. Nice job overall!
Great game! simple yet complex at the same time.
Pretty simple game, but it's well executed and well rounded. Music was pretty good! I found it a little difficult to click on the flame, I wish it was a little more forgiving on where I clicked. Still, nice work finishing the game! I lasted 100 seconds, saved all 3 fuses, sparked 331 times, and got 16950 points. :)
Very simple yet elegant concept! It feels very complete, especially given that you just worked on it for 48 hours. I just tried playing it on a smartphone and it was even more fun. I think the touch interface works great for this kind of game.
Fun game! I liked the music and look a lot. It was simple but executed really well, and I definitely felt compelled to try to keep those flames burning! Ended up saving two of the fuses. Nice work!
Game is rather simple and a bit repetitive. Good amount of polish and the flames look really nice. Music was a little annoying :)
Simple but well made game! I included it in my Ludum Dare compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/dNThIjw08MI
