I can pick up logs, but I'm not sure to be able to put it in the fire, I tried but I saw no change on the fire's "life". And I didn't found anything to fight the bad guys. Good idea, and nice graphics, you should not give up and fix the bugs, this could be fun to play ;)
Quick reminder to get more players: Use a thumbnail for your game. Otherwise your game is presented with this grey box. Some great Games are not played because of a missing thumbnail ... You can still change it by editing your submission page :)

cool game, but fire dies too fast
Cool game, found it reasonably fun but I think you should add some more feedback when you act in the game. For example, enemy recoil, muzzleflash, and a flash of flames when you put something in the fire. Also, do something like this for the thumbnail (you can use this if you want). Pretty cool game with some potential if you keep working, nice job!

I enjoyed searching frantically for logs and then returning to the fire as soon as possible - I think the core gameplay is fun. Seemed like there weren't enough logs or the fire died down too fast, however
Nice implementation of the concept! I struggled to find logs, I think it would've been more fun if it was a little bit brighter. Great job! :grinning:
Cool game
Cool game! Really like the concept and how the light changes with the fire. Could do with a few more logs around and a more forgiving timer though. Great job!
I really likes the shooting and the enemies but I found the controls a bit weird. I do think you could've spent more time on the main menu. Being the first thing the player sees it is the first time you get to set the tone.
While concept is nice, while playing I felt bit lost and confused. Please, next time think more about better guidng player throught game (clear description of controls or stating the game goal in game, not in description). Unless you aimed for inducting a feeling of being lost for a player.
What you have here looks pretty good, the shooting mechanic is great; wish you had more time to finish it!
Loved the moodiness of the lighting
I couldn't feed the fire, I don't even know if I got the logs in my inventory. That means the game wasn't very sustainable but i will review what i got to experience:
The lightning was moody and nice. But i would prefer a fullscreen mode. That would help me not get blinded by the brighter colors on the itch.io website.
The graphics were nice. The enemies were scary because it was dark and you couldn't really make out the details (which is a good thing).
I like the take on the theme.
Good job, notify me if you release a bug-fix so i can play the game the way it's meant to be played!
Definitely could do with being a little brighter so it becomes a little easier to navigate, this could be either the torch or just overall. With that you could also throw in more mechanics with either brighter torch but batteries, or maybe take a stick from the fire reducing it's life and an inventory slot but saving battery life.
I only ever found one, maybe two logs maximum logs per game. This meant my highest score was 51. Apart from that, there was nothing fundamentally wrong, just needs some additional work on it.
Thank you for your entry.
I liked the style of the characters, good work there and overall it was pleasant to play thanks to the style.
But it was hard to get into the mood - maybe because of the missing music, not sure. I barerly saw anything I had to adjust my monitor, so it would be nice to set it a little bit brighter or at least have the option to do so in the game. Also the shooting/moving mechanics althought it was not hard to handle I think it would be better to leave have a clasic wsad for direction/sidesteps and mouse for rotation. Finding the cob of wood was also a lot about luck I think, which made me sad. :D
Anyway, it has a potential and I am glad you spend the time to present this game.
Pretty fun! Congratulations on the submission!
Great job on the game, the game is fun and easy to play, no explain needed for me to understand the game. However, the lighting is hard to see and the timer go too fast then the wood density in the forest (maybe add more wood spawn?). But overall its a good entry.
It is very good, I would like an effect of suspense music in the forest and a little more fluid sometimes when going for some distant object the campfire went very fast, nice job! zombies3.jpg
