A little hint: you don't have to touch the campfire to get warm, you can just run by and preserve firewood.

A little hint: you don't have to touch the campfire to get warm, you can just run by and preserve firewood.
Its very intense trying to juggle all the things you need to scavenge and also keeping warm at the same time. Good execution and an interesting take on the theme too.
Really wonderful visual style you have, and I love the unique take on the theme. The player character got stuck quite often, but that was the only issue.
Overall pretty good but you were limited due to the ten seconds which is not enough time to get to the "Campfire"
Could not manage to make my way to the cave, but I'll try harder. Is there no sound or is there a problem on my side ?
Take axe and pickaxe in airplane.
Also you may fish for fast moving.
Cave is high level for that game.
Unfortunately we have not time for sound.
Maybe late we add it.
I couldn't figure out what to do... I collected all the firewood, used them up, and then froze to death.. How do I progress in the game?
theholychicken, you should not only pick up the firewood but also to visit your crushed plane to get an axe to chop the trees (and that way you can get more firewood), a fishing-rod to get food and move faster and so on.

OH I'll try it again:]
Welp.. it's still brutal hard! When I first saw the art I was expecting something lighthearted and relaxing.
10 seconds from painfully freezing to death is a tad too much pressure for me.
The comic was very well drawn, and I felt it was a shame that the game switched to top-down where the artwork couldn't shine. What if you made a sidescroller with the same art style?
I really enjoyed it, especially the comic that went with it :)
Really nice graphics and a genuinely compelling game that made me want to keep on playing :) I hope you continue to work on this and maybe get some sound effects in there
Hey john sorry about the upload not working can you tell me how to fix it? (with unity player or something)
Nice execution. Really like the concept of survive, but when i get frozen i cant warm me up again. Some time get a little frustrating. But overall have a nice graphic and its very well made. Congrats =)
Great graphics, needs a quick screen to tell you what does what, took me a while to walk over to the crashed plane and get the axe. It is super super hard. Would love to hear some sound too!
Fun game and cool graphics. I like the idea.
After 6 or 7 tries, I died suddenly without reason, I'd just restocked the fire, I'd been and talked to the radio 4 times, and I had just gone from 10-9 seconds on my freeze meter, what killed me? Felt frustratingly slow moving around, I guess that's natural in the cold, but made the game feel sluggish. Great art and concept.
Sound was not working for me (firefox).
This poor, poor man! His life is a constant battle against time. Great story/comic to get the player interested about the situation, but the gameplay is a bit unforgiving. An innovative idea/premise!
good vibe from the game, especially thanks to the intro, nice to see something original with the theme too I havent seen another jam game like this yet, steep learning curve but enjoyable after i wrapped my head around it =]
Love the concept and graphics! Really well done :_)
Very amusing! Great art!
I love the comic and art! It would be nice to have some audio in there. Great take on the theme.
Haha, thanks to the comments I manage to survive longer! I think it needs some player feedback like if you need a certain tool to do something, etc.
Overall I enjoyed playing the game and it's community driven, ie. survival hints via comments :D
Nice game. But I had some issues with collision not starting as soon as I was touching stuff (sometimes).
Also, clicking were you want to move instead of holding down the mouse down on the position would be better, in my opinion.
Love the graphics. Well done!!
I like this one couse it fits the theme very well. Its a bit stressfull to manage the wood and cold, but thats the whole point :P
Good game but I don't know how to run. It should be good to explain controls.
And put woods into the fire each twenty seconds is really bad for the game. It will be better with a longer delay.
It could be a great survival game if you keep working on it. And very nice graphics !
That's a giant jam team. No wonder you needed a producer! I really like the art palette.
Love the comic book style intro and the game is a nice balancing act!
Interesting game, love the art, wish the game had sound, and I wish there was a better description of how to actually play, I had no idea how to really do anything other than collect wood and make the fire bigger. I'm sure if I knew how to play though it would have been a blast!
Beardbotnik, unfortunately we hadn't enough time to make a tutorial. Well, in few words:
*** THE RULES ***
Visit your plane to get an axe (to chop trees), a fishing-rod (to fish), a gun (to get deer meat) and a pick (to visit the cave for some surprises.
Chopping trees helps you to keep your fire, food helps you to move faster.
You can also get a battery from the plane. The battery can be put in the transmitter to learn some news and help the resque team to find you faster.
Great game, one of the best in Ludum Dare [that we have seen so far]!
Awesome gameplay, intense and thrilling.
Ребята, вы супер молодцы! :)
Nice graphics. Controls are quite hard and I can't find what to do more than taking wood and putting into the fire.
Really cool idea, or should i say ice cold ;-p
I like the style, really hard with all the multi-tasking but that's what life is all about. I played it on my Samsung S3 Android phone and it worked really well in terms of performance and controls. Good work.
I am really bad at multi tasking. This game looks beautiful and I really liked it a lot. nice work but hard for low attention people like me.
One thing I would suggest is that the phone? I feel hungry.
Add android version with better control. :)
i loved it =) graphics awesome! =) but control very hard=) good job!
Lovely graphics and concept. The comic at the start of the game is nice :)
Pretty hard game, too!
Nice game!
Interesting premise, nice art. Especially the intro comic, which was very well done.
Really good game, will play more later :) Just missed some visual feedback for when we're saciated and maybe some more instructions
The comic panels in the beginning are amazing, and the in-game sprites are well done too. I wish there was audio, and a bit more feedback on actions. It's fun but tough!
Add music & some sound effects.
