I love this!! You did a fantastic job. It's well polished and the gameplay is fun. The graphics have a great feel. It's like a platformer but not your standard platformer. It plays well. It's just a good job :)

By the way, not sure if you know, but if you review some other peoples' games, you'll rank higher in the list and other people will see your game and play it. My game sucks but because I'm reviewing other peoples' games, I get reviews ;) I'm sure other people would love to play this too, so you should review a few!

This is a neat little game - I especially like the music and it was fun to play. The differentiation between enemies in the floor and not is a bit of an odd one IMO, I didn't get used to it in the time I was playing.

I played this game on stream at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/163569305 00:25:45

Thanks for the comments! I know about the rank system giving reviews ^_^ (I'm just recovering of the LDJAM :sweat_smile:). About the colors of the background and enemies, I would love to have more time to tweak the whole graphics and give some more contrast, but as something that I left for the end, it didn't make it :disappointed:

I am always shocked about how people can make good games on compo, this is an awesome game, it is not complex, but is cool and fun.

I love the graphics for this and nice work on the animations. The game is very smooth to play.

Really fun little game, and quite polished. I did find the controls a little… slippery, for lack of a better term. I just didn't feel like I was in full control of the character. If you'd had more time, some of the actions could use a bit more feedback, too.

Looks pretty cute. Plays rather nice :)

Good game. It controls well and the graphics are good. It needs some kind of "tutorial" of what to do, even a simple cinematic of the character picking the coal and launching it to the fire.

I felt that the controls were a bit slippery, but I got adjusted to them over time. The graphics of the game are pretty good. The gameplay is frantic and the vibration of the boiler above the fire was a nice touch, as it made collecting coal feel more urgent and it was a good indicator of time.

Overall, the game is fun and frantic without being frustrating.

Controls are pretty smooth, but a bit slippery as others have mentioned. Attack timing, animation, sound --all feel really nice. Feels like a pretty nice start to a platformer. Would have liked to see more design features to flesh out the play loop though. For example, an ever expanding level to increase difficulty, or increasing monster difficulty if they are not destroyed quickly enough. Something to increase tension over time and vary play enough to create tension and a "story" out of each playthrough. All in all, nice work :)

A really fun game and pretty neat gameplay as well. I would love to play this on a joystick. Great job man

The game concept is original and quite fun. I like the simple design of the enemies

I really liked this game, he is fun and challenger. But the controls in keybord are a little confused. Great job. :D

Really fun little game, needs some polishing as @pjchardtthesecond said in comments, but it is still solid. Great Job!

527.6 seconds. I could have gone on forever basically. It didn't seem to get any harder over time.

The audio-visuals are nice and the controls, while slippy, are fine. Hurling coal into the pyre is strangely relaxing. Now there is one issue with the controls due to the fact that attacking and throwing are done with the same key. If you spam attack a group of coalies next to wall and one of the dies and turns into coal, you end up constantly throwing coal to the wall instead of attacking.

Another bug relates to the bigger coalies. A few times I ended up smashing one of them indefinitely. They'd somehow become invulnerable!

Having something else to do alongside keeping the bonfire burning would make the overall experience more varied. Ok work this.

Good music. Good graphics. Nice game. Some times coals like immortal - you hit them, but them don't die.

good music,gameplay and graphics, good job (:
