Flame Keeper

Adorable characters.

The title "Flame Keeper" is a bit basic and I noticed a lot of games in this jam are similarly named. A more unique name would have helped it stand out.

So far this is the only Unreal game I've played this jam that didn't have horrendous lag, so you've done something right as far as optimization is concerned.

There's a glitch I'm experiencing where the mouse view isn't working. After every restart, I have to switch to another window and then back to the game in order to look around. At first I thought there was not way to adjust the camera, and only figured this out on accident by trying to post this comment mid-game.

My last two plays had me fall into water with no way to escape and the slow but inevitable death was a bit much. A way to recover, especially after so much progress is made, would be appreciated.

Controlling primarily with keyboard and then having to manually click the "start" button after every life gets tedious, just being able to restart by pressing the "jump" button would make continuous play much easier.

In-game control tutorials would be helpful as well. WASD to move and space to jump is intuitive enough, but not knowing that mouse was suppose to move the camera (again, it wasn't work for me)  meant I was searching for how to do that not knowing if a means existed, and I'm still wondering if there's other abilities I just haven't stumbled upon yet.
