Nice job I really enjoyed the graphics and the concept of dragging the wood blocks to the fire is fun. The controls felt a little clunky but overall a nice submission.

Nice job I really enjoyed the graphics and the concept of dragging the wood blocks to the fire is fun. The controls felt a little clunky but overall a nice submission.
Not sure if I'm just bad at the game but it seems difficult to kill enemies! I felt like I only lasted about 15 seconds but I guess time flies when you're having fun... 15 years!
Great game!
It seemed very difficult to kill a single monster.
Agreed that the movement feels really weird, like only one key works at a time. Probably makes the game harder than it would be otherwise. I like the concept though, dragging blocks with the axe is weirdly satisfying and that fire is gorgeous at full power. I kept the world alive for almost 140 years.
very very interesting. i liked it tho, most i could get to was 58 years D:
Love the art, especially the effects around the lava and the unique look of the enemies.
The dynamic of having to go farther and farther into danger to gather resources added to the tension, and really brought the whole thing together.
It wasn't clear at first what fueling the fire does, and still isn't that clear. It seems that it keeps enemies away, but I can't tell for sure if that is true.
Another thing is the combat. It's pretty tricky to kill a single one of the enemies at first, and it is very easy to be killed in the process. It almost feels a little random. The player having some sort of health (maybe a monster hitting you could set back the progress of the fire, even) would make the combat feel a lot less random and punishing.
Overall, a really fun little game!
Killing enemies is a bit too hard. Looks good though and quite fun!
The game looks great, and the concept is cool.
The problem is that each time you lose you must watch the introduction again. That discourage you from trying.
Thats why I included a skipping option for the intro :)
I couldn't get very far in this game. There are waay too many enemies for them to be that difficult to kill. I think if you were to scale down the enemies a bit it could be a very fun game. As is I barely got to play it because I would die within 20 seconds every time. I am bad at games at all, but I should at least be able to get to a second thing to burn before I die.
Other than the balancing issue though, the graphics are really good, the music is pretty good and the sound effects are serviceable. I like that you basically tie the box to yourself to drag it back into the hole, physics stuff is always fun to watch. Having to fit it in so it falls is also very satisfying.
Nice concept. The dragging mechanics felt really natural and intuitive. Like others said, the enemies are too difficult to kill. I couldn't figure out a way to kill enemies without getting hit. Other than that, very fun game to play. Good job!
Cool idea, cool music, cool graphism. I really like the "text typing" intro but I was a little disappointed when I saw than there is no animations :/ The oven looks really cool though. The negative point is that the game is a little too repetitive. Cool game nonetheless :)
Interesting game idea, the intro was really cool though I felt that the controls were a little wonky.
Nice concept for the game! And I do like the visual style you chose for it, the effects are, also, really nice! :) The audio also helps set up a nice futuristic mood, so a big plus for that! :D
Controls felt a bit laggy sometimes, and I felt enemies kinda harder to "kill". Some feedback or life meter could improve experience a bit, since it's quite difficult to know when you're in "danger". :)
Overall, nice work, Good Job there! :D
