December 13th-16th 2013 :: Theme: You Only Get One
[ Real World Gatherings | Ludum Deals | Warmup Weekend ]
Grog sit on sidelines of romantic love life, until one day passing lightning get grabby and reach for Grog stick. Now stick have fire. Now Grog have chance with girl!
Eight levels of side-scrolling platforming action!
A/D or left /right to move, W or Up to jump.
You must keep your fire lit! Blow on it by HOLDING space or enter. But beware! This will burn down the stick faster!
Levels are algorithmically generated. If you die, you can restart the same level, or generate a new one. Either way, just have fun! Thanks for playing!

Great idea ! I love it ! Blowing on the torch, really cool and the particules effects of the fire are great ! Excellent work ! Grog doesn't like rain ;)
Nice lighting! The jumping is a bit awkward, but the art is nice and the levels interesting.
Awesome! Very Fun great anxiety and relief. Nice challenge and great colors.
Wow, great job! Good use of a particle system for the torch. With I could blow while in the air! =)
I wish I could play, but: Unity Web Player! One day they will support my OS.
I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but the walking is so extremely slow, that I think, I could experience a bug. Any idea? I also think, holding space should lighten up the fire faster.
Okay, I played the windows version to download and didn't experienced the bug again like I did in the web version. Strange...
Wait! Linux Build! Now I see it!
This is hilarious. I love that there is actually no pretty cave-lady at the end ^o^// also, Grog's voice is great. Did you do the voice acting? I thought of doing an a cappella cover of the zelda theme for my game... but didn't.
Grog's jumping is what makes this game hard. I really like the smoke effects too. Overall, a very cute and fun game. It would be a prime candidate for having a leader-board!
I really like the concept and the art, but it's pretty hard because you dont have much control over the jump. nice job
Fun but difficult. A difficulty setting would have been nice.
Really liked the concept and the application of the theme.
A lot of good fun, nice and difficult. The lighting effect is subtle but beautiful and the sound is fantastic.
This game is funny! It's also challenging, perhaps too challenging for me. Still an awesome concept and humorous execution.
Love the character and the voices. Simple and nice gameplay, perhaps the jumping could be a bit smoother. :) Solid job!
Running with sticks is not a good idea, but I don't think Grog is smart enough to know that. I found myself constantly watching the stick thinking: "Can I get a little farther without blowing on it?". It creates a bit of tension and a nice sense of accomplishment when you complete a level. I also like the fact that you used procedural generation for the levels. It can take a bit of tweaking, but once you have the generator dialed in, you have infinite content. Nice job.
Nice game! Good difficulty overral and...Procedual levels! I love procedural things! Good job!
Great idea, controls left a bit to be desired. The acceleration seems to be different every time you start running, sometimes he doesn't really start moving at all.
Good job! The mechanic of the torch is very clever and works well with the theme. Didn't liked the physic/controls though. Also a few time Grog didn't wanted to move and jumping fixed that issue.
This game is more fun than it should be haha - humor is great, and I love Grog's sound (some of the other sfx could use some touching up). Gets perhaps a little too difficult a little too fast..
Pretty interesting take on a platformer! Played otherwise well, but the jumping physics were really wonky and caused way too many unneccessary deaths.
Awesome use of theme and a great innovative twist on platforming. The difficulty spikes quickly and my stick burned down to nothing without me realizing that it was getting close. The fire is very obvious and you can stop and blow on it when needed but the feedback for the stick itself is a bit lacking.
Platforming was a little loose and floaty but it works in this game because this is some dumb caveman guy running to find true love with a burning stick in his hand. He ain't no Meatboy and he doesn't have to be.
Funny sounds, too. The visuals do the job. Great entry!
Really like the concept for this, I thought the rain levels were especially cool. I felt like the controls were a little awkward though, and that made me put this down before I could finish. Still pretty fun though, and great work for 48 hours! Also I'll add that the dying sound was great and humour in general was awesome :)
I's pretty challenging but also really fun :)
I hate when it's raining!
It is so difficult! The controls are not in my favor. Nice graphical style!
Humor and innovation in this game were top notch: the mechanics are superb. I could see this game being expanded (climatic interaction maybe?). Good job!
It's a solid game, but I think the core mechanic of keeping the torch lit could be improved. Somehow. Maybe.
Right now it felt a repetitive just running and jumping and blowing ad infinitum.
Great idea! Keeping the flame alive is fun! Loved the variation with the rain level.
Background graphics are a bit too repetitive (tile patterns do not vary much) but Grog is cute. Sound FX are cool (especially the DANG one). Could use a more appropriate font for text.
The game is pretty good. The collisions were a bit bouncy, but otherwise fine. The level generation also was fair (I didn't run into any impossible jumps or extensive rain runs)
I took some time to understand that I had to stop walking to blow
Nice take on the theme. Game mechanics are interesting, but waiting and blowing could get somewhat frustrating. Keep up the good work!
Interesting gameplay mechanic, smoke and fire effects too. :)

MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
This game is pretty difficult. The graphics are very well done!
