My antivirus doesn't want to pass this game into my computer :/ It removes .exe and one .dll file.

Wow! the art style is awesome! Reminds of the old SNES days, Congratulations!

jsmars 2018-12-04 22:39

Thanks @arvejeitor ! @Anonymous: Very peculiar, all the DLLs are open source and commonly used. Would be good to know which one is being removed and what the antivirus program is reporting it as. The only thing I could imagine is if it's looking at the web request it uses to send highscore to the server for some reason.

Really fun game! love puzzles

I loved this! Great interpretation and execution of the theme, I'd totally buy this given a little more polish and focus towards being a couch co-op game.

i loved the simplicity and specially the art style. good luck! :)

Really cool mechanic, and the art is great. I had a lot of fun playing this, spent about 20 minutes trying to beat my high score! Some of the puzzles are very difficult to figure out! I also wasn't sure - did all the pieces fit or were some misfitting pieces put there on purpose?

I eventually managed to get only to level 4... but I'll try again later, I want to try to beat my high score again. How many levels are there?

Really love this game ! It all works well, and looks good, good job !

It was interesting to see a more interactive experience combined with classic puzzle-piece placement. A fun, simple little concept! I wished the resolution of the pieces was a little higher though, made seeing the details a lot harder. Overall, a fine entry.

Really interresting mechanics, and original ! Love to play your game, I will try with mates soon !

Cool concept, really original. I don't know if it was intended but the first puzzle i cleared without even putting all pieces in the canvas. I think the controls could be better disposed, don't know if i did something wrong but i played with WASD and walking, picking puzzle pieces and rotating them are too close, it made the controls a little confusing. I wish the puzzle pieces resolutions were also a little bit higher, it was hard for me to undestand them at first glance.

Cheers!

Very cool and really well done! Loved the audio and the art most.

christina-antoinette-neofotistou 2018-12-06 17:39

I'm so impressed that you stayed on theme and you didn't feature creep. The result is a polished, intentional game and it shows!! Congrats, a great entry!!

Great game! I thought the art and the music were very well done, and the ability to burn your puzzle pieces to keep the flame alive was a neat twist! I only managed to play it solo, but it looks like it'd be a ton of fun with friends! My only complaint is that I felt the keyboard controls to be a bit awkward (but it felt fine with a controller)

this is highly underrated the art is really well polished, and i was here thinking that i spent to much time polishing the art on my game and you even had lights in pixel art haha, great work this is fun, needs more attention.

nekonyo 2018-12-08 15:23

I like how you take a simple concept as a simple puzzle to an online coop game 👍

kamikaziuk 2018-12-10 10:44

Very fun game! The visuals are super nice for a few days of work.

theonethatneverwas 2018-12-10 11:42

Amazing game! I really enjoyed playing it, the gameplay is very fun.

rs11s21n 2018-12-10 15:45

nice game but why i feel like this game not for one person?)

jsmars 2018-12-10 16:15

Thanks all for your nice comments!

@rs11s21n Thanks for letting me know you feel that way. It's both for playing alone or with friends, personally I find it easier and calmer alone and I almost prefer it, but playing with friends makes it more of a crazy party game..

rs11s21n 2018-12-10 16:43

@jsmars i tallk about lvl 3, i just have no time for burn everything and complete lvl in one time. or... i not get rules xD

dock-frankenstein 2018-12-10 18:56

Very amazing game. Love the music and the models.

rongo-matane 2018-12-10 19:08

Such great visuals, the puzzles are really beautiful. Also an impressive amount for such a short time. I played it solo. Regarding theme or gameplay, i did not see the sacrificing part. I just puzzled and it went fine, though i once accidentally burned a piece. I also like how the UI integrated seamless with the game. Very good entry! :)

svdvorak 2018-12-11 10:22

@rongo-matane Thanks for the kind comments! You have to sacrifice things from the walls or pieces to boost the fire and keep it alive. Any pieces you burn you can't use to solve the puzzle of course.
