Great art style! This is actually way harder than I thought too, I was only able to get to about 75 percent of the way on my best attempt.

Go into your build settings and turn off developement build. In the web version there is a developement build water mark :P

Cool game, I like the art style of it!

what-sorceress-this 2016-08-28 19:09

@phantomunboxing I don't have development build checked, and I don't see the watermark either. Maybe it's something to do with the version of the web player plugin you have installed?

Very cool!

I like the art but the gameplay is very boring. It's also very hard.

I like the style, I'm not entirely convinced it's beatable without cheating though. Fits theme very well.

I love this concept. Simple but great.

The game is very fun beautiful art. It's so hard to reach the top.

Wow, stunning visuals! Your game looks veeery good and there is one simple yet solid gameplay mechanic. Good job!

Great idea and graphics! Nice job!

I ruined my keyboard - thanks :)

Brilliant work with theme dude :)

Hi, nice game and congratulations ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #36. We made the same thing at the previous jam.

Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description.

I love the graphic, simple but detailed. The idea reminds me of the NDS game "Lost in Blue", where you have to press L and R button alternately to make a fire.

Hey just a small note, you don't have to include the pdb files when you release on Windows, it's useless and takes a lot a space :) I like the art and the colors. I'm not a huge fan a key-mashing games though :)

what-sorceress-this 2016-08-30 17:59

@bodsey thanks for letting me know about the pdb files!

The art and atmosphere was nice. It was very hard, I gave up and used macro recorder.

One of the most ancient technology. Nice entry. Also has great effect work with particles.

brunurd 2016-08-31 18:05

great idea, it's hard to finish to me, but I will try later. I miss a better art in the hud

Really great take on the theme, I managed to start a fire without cheating, and can confirm that it is possible (though quite difficult). I guess I had some practice from my own game, which also has an element of trying to ruin your keyboard by alternating keys rapidly.

Very simple game, but very well made! I included it in my compilation video series of Ludum Dare 36, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/iJTT4Yba0N8

@Jupiter_Hadley Thank you very much! By watching you play it, I actually realised there must be a bug affecting some resolutions/browsers making the game more difficult, possibly by not allowing two shift keys work independently. Because I could hear how fast you were tapping the keyboard and you couldn't get past half, it is not that difficult at all on my computer. I'll look into fixing that!

tmpxyz 2016-09-05 07:13

It's very simple to the core, hope to have some more stuff, like throw some drygrass on that?

taro 2016-09-07 00:42

Welp, that was a very short game. Not sure what else comment, other than I wish life was this simple.

what-sorceress-this 2016-09-07 08:36

@Omniya Games Well, I'm glad you found it simple. You're like the only one who didn't think it was too difficult. Thank you very much for playing it on stream even though I couldn't catch it live.

Today I learned I am not cut out to be primitive survivalist.

jacques_le_lezard 2016-09-11 16:40

Didn't succeeded to make fire but it was fun ^^
