I really liked the visuals, that is what drew me in. The idea was a bit dark for my taste but the general concept was an interesting interpretation of the theme for sure. Congratulations on the jam :)

I really enjoyed playing the game, it was super interesting and there were some cool animations thrown in all over. Congratulations on a great effort.
I really like the style and the presentation, it had a unique style that drew me in and gave me a sense of the place I was moving through. I was curious to know more.
I did struggle sometimes with the controls as the input felt a bit touchy and I found that I was sending input when I did not mean to. That extended to the dialogue right at the beginning I accidentally skipped past a bunch of things without meaning to, so reloaded the window in order to see it all properly.
Really good job overall, congratulations!
Thanks for all the comments so far :) Given we still had another hour or so left I decided to go in and update the hit window to make it more forgiving. We agreed that maybe we had been playing it too much ourselves and wouldn't understand how someone coming to it fresh might go with the game.
Thanks to everyone for the great feedback. I've been working on a post-jam build that tries to balance the game bit better for difficulty.
I really like the idea, good use of the theme. Congratulations!
I really liked the concept of the game and you gave it a tonne personality with the art style too. I felt like I knew what I needed to do but sometimes didn't get enough feedback from the weapon to be sure I was being successful at it. Congrats on the game! Well done!
I really liked your take on the theme, good work. The presentation was great and I could apply the feelings from my own experience to make decisions in this game. The interaction was a bit hard sometimes to know exactly how to do certain things but it was a really cool idea so I didn't mind too much. Congratulations on the game!
Nice work, really funny sudden response and feedback. It looks awesome too. A nice simple concept that you nailed perfectly.
I like the tone and the look of the game. Really nice idea and I found myself wanting to try for a high score. Congratulations on your first jam! I think the only thing I was hoping for would be more audio feedback for when things are nearby / danger is approaching and when I turn on/off the fan. Just something extra to go with the visuals.
I really like the idea and implementation of the theme. It has all the pieces for a very fun game, it just needed a bit more tuning and polish of all the pieces. The fire animations were my favorite part.
I liked the mood and style of this, and the concept was really easy to understand. I was overwhelmed quickly myself but otherwise it felt like a great idea to build on and balance.
