Once the Burner lights itself on fire, the pin’s body glows red hot and opens its jaws wide. I’m super happy with how the art and animation turned out, and you can see it for yourself in our most recent build! speakerbeak.itch.io/unholy-roller (4/4)

I struggled with the design at first because, unlike a standard tenpin, candlepins have a band around their center instead of the top. This made the face placement look weird, so I experimented with a bandana covering the Burner’s eyes. That bandana eventually became a Cyclops-esque visor. (3/4)

We wanted to reference a real-life candlepin that also used a fire attack, and after prototyping all three ideas we had, we decided on what I called the “martyr” option: the Burner lights itself on fire and runs around leaving a fire trail behind it. (2/4)
