i like it

antomatti 2020-04-20 17:06

Loved the idea! Fyi, I was able to enter and esc the houses by destroying the walls... I don't know if it was intended!

luddegodofpain 2020-04-20 17:07

@antomatti Yup, this is intended! :)

Well, that was a special experience X)

The game has a "surreal" vibe that I like, but I was not sure what to do : I put thing into the fire, but my axe broke and then I didn't how to advance in the game: also the fire does not seems to die.

Also note that if you don't use z and q, you can also assign z to up and q to left, so that azerty keyboards don't have to switch layout to play ;)

This is pretty funny. I got a little lost. I love how the arms reach towards interactibles. Really made it easy for me to understand what to do. It didn't seem like my fire would ever run out though.

luddegodofpain 2020-04-20 17:57

@dodormeur Thats some great feedback actually, as we never think about other keyboard layouts. Should have cheated more and imported our usersetting module for you ;)

luddegodofpain 2020-04-20 17:58

@khaotom Maybe you were just too good ;) You can probably have the fire going more than anybody would play the game ^^

kinda feels awkward holding space to move things around, but otherwise a really fun game that satisfies my pyromania :)

Smashing down doors feels so satisfying!

This is a different game. It was fun. The controls are a little difficult.(for me :()

kemsou 2020-04-21 10:03

It's really fun to destroy everything to feed it to the fire ! great idea :thumbsup: The control could be better tho, I played on an azerty keyboard and I had to use one hand for the arrowq and an other for the mouse, I had to stop using the mouse to reach the space key ^^

The abilty to just rip down the environment was super fun to mess around with. My best was 440 seconds :D.

i like kill my neighbor, too bad it's just a game

odeyalko 2020-04-21 16:06

Do not quite understand what to do, look for fire? killed a neighbor, eu

foo-squashed-games 2020-04-22 07:23

Very much enjoyed ripping apart the house

kayahr 2020-04-22 07:26

Very nice idea. Controls are a little bit awkward but it makes a lot of fun to destroy the whole house and put everything into the fire, even the neighbor :D

retrome 2020-04-22 14:59

Cool physics, fun to play :) if such a funny simplified graphics is not a main idea - polish graphics and game would became sweetie in a proper wrapper, in my humble opinion.

luddegodofpain 2020-04-22 17:55

@retrome thanks man, appreciated :) even though the physics are kinda basic for unity, it was trickier than we thought to make them roll well with our game mechanics! fortunately, i was busy making all the models while @krexor did the heavy lifting on gameplay :)

luddegodofpain 2020-04-22 17:57

@kayahr thanks :) it was a blast making this one ^^

Stove Man sandbox. I loved it. My 2nd favorite part was when i found out you can just chop down walls instead of using doors. My favorite part was when I found I could just burn my house for more fuel.

abdurrahman-khallouf 2020-04-22 19:53

I like the funny comments and the IK use :D I would like it more if there was a challenge. got bored after a while. didn't want to just keep burning everything. I fear in the end I will have to burn a dog... or my wife :P

also liked destroying everything :D

meme-310 2020-04-22 19:54

almost everything are burn except stove man hahaha.I just went in and out fire simply xD . I'm still laughing on that, when I burn walls, chairs and table. He said my wife will be proud of me (something like that) xD . Love it. little hard to control Stove man. Good Job.

luddegodofpain 2020-04-23 04:06

@meme-310 Thanks man! Hes not really intended to be able to go into the fire, but, yknow, physics x) by the way, mammoth expedition was great :)

@abdurrahman-khallouf Hey thanks! The IK was kind of a thing we needed to learn for our next "real" project, and we are not more confident now x) damn that shits hard! Anyways, thanks for playing :)

abdurrahman-khallouf 2020-04-23 09:27

Ik is really hard...you don't learn it watching a youtube video. you practice a lot. and half way through your game . you realize how structure is very important. and you re-create the system :)

robowarrior1982 2020-04-23 13:08

Really fun and innovating ! I enjoyed it, good job!
