I like this game. The art is fancy and the tree cutting sounds are quite funny! I got to about 30 seconds. The wind was pretty hard to beat.

Very efficient loop, the game already stands on its own. Well done and good luck for future developments!

Well done! A pretty fun game. I managed to get to about 100 seconds but the wind got me. The only problem I had was that I seemed to drift to the left for some reason but other than that fantastic!

This was an excellent game! My group had a similar idea of keeping a fire alive but ended up choosing a different idea instead. After a few attempts I managed to make to 138 seconds! The gust of wind definitely caused me to panic a few times which kept the game interesting. Great job!

@josh-gangl Thank you for your feedback! The drifting is actually intentional, though I didn't have time to put in an explanation in-game or any visual cue as to what was happening. At around the 60 seconds mark, the "strong winds" event becomes permanent, so you do get pushed around a little and the fire extinguishes a little faster. I had plans to put visual effects of rushing winds in, but I ran out of time. I will definitely add this in the final version of the game to make things more clear.
