Our verdict
8.0out of 10One clean idea, carried the whole way. The shrinking flame turns every level into a route puzzle.
About Flamit
Flamit runs on one rule. Your flame gets smaller every second, and lighting a torch makes it bigger again. Everything else in the game is built around that clock: the layout of the ice, where the enemies stand, and how far apart the torches are placed.
That makes it a route planning game wearing the clothes of a reflex game. The levels that look impossible are usually the ones where the obvious path is the wrong order to take the torches in. Two modes give you the same thirty levels with a different amount of slack.
How to play
- Light every torch in the level before the flame goes out.
- Avoid the ice enemies. Contact costs flame you cannot spare.
- Plan the order of the torches before you move, not while you are moving.

Tips
- Take the furthest torch first, while the flame is at its largest.
- Standing still costs the same as running. There is never a reason to wait.
