To The Flame

To The Flame is a platforming game in which you play as a moth on a pilgrimage to meet God. You make your way up one giant vertical level, jumping across chasms where a fall can send you back to the beginning. Every inch of progress is saved, both forward and backward, and God provides condescending commentary along the way.

Avoid the spider

A spider roams the entire map. If it sees or hears you, it chases you; if it catches you, you die. You cannot fight it, so you must hide somewhere it cannot reach. The game’s controls are simple to learn but allow for expressive movement as you get to know them, especially after you gain the double jump.

Modes and challenges

Slo-Mo mode lets new players take their time and gives experienced players a way to practise tricks. Optional challenges include No jump preview, which removes the jump preview, and Darkness, where you must memorize the map. A built-in speedrun timer is also available.

The game takes 2–7 hours to complete. Most players take around 5 hours, and only one person has completed it in under 1.5 hours.
