I enjoy that type of art. So adorable fox. That thing is great, except arrow movement for me. But still 5/5

This should be made into a linux app and mobile app (in my opinion) it litterly would be so easy using the html version to do this too (im not joking just make a browser app (with python and webkit prity easy if you also use pygtk).

Short, but fun, Fox Flares is an amusing little platformer with an interesting mechanic. Trying to avoid being on fire while also having to use that fire to progress created a good challenge that could easily become a longer game. While the bouncy tiles felt a bit unwieldy most of the time, I still had fun figuring out how to get through the different rooms. Plus, foxes are cool.

Good job on this, dev.

First of all, let me congratulate you on the 32nd place in the Ludum Dare 40 - it's well deserved! Your cute puzzle platformer game made me smile, thinking and wondering, which is admirable. Some of the passages were pretty challenging, but I never had the feeling that something would be unsolvable; there was always some hope that the poor fox won't need to explode. And the ending sequence is sooo sweet! <3 Thanks for this experience! That's why I wrote an article about your game as well as created a little playthrough video of it. :) Looking forward to your next games!

Best wishes,
Sebastian

Very clever approach to the theme, however the I'd the controls to be tighter.
