Really Fun retro vibe. Nice work.
This game has a lot of potential. The art and sound usage were good and the theme was spot on. The controls were fine as well but the level design and collisions made it tough to move around to fight the enemies. Still a job well done.
I like the models, they fit with the music and the theme
Cool game! I like the art direction, and I found the gameplay fun. It was always nervewracking when I had to move off screen to get logs for my fire.
Nice music and sprites, good job.
Bonus points for having a web build.
Tricky game! I like it.
Great atmosphere
I like the music and characters, with a bit more polish, I can see it on a switch. Try to push it to an enter de gungeon direction.
Pretty fun, follows the theme, had an interesting way of introducing health management.
Wish I could shoot at all angles instead of just up down left right!
I like the design of the main character
I liked the wood elemental mechanic that would keep you alive if you protect it
Very cool! Really like the style and also the subtle details for example the face animation that changes when you shoot fire. A piece of art.
Really fun game! And I love the art style!
Nice entry!
I know you opted out of graphics and audio, but the assets you chose to use were good.
It felt a little bad that there wasn't really an order to how the water enemies spawned, which meant there was a chance you would just take damage if you strayed too far away from the fire to collect wood. It might be nice if there was an indication for off-screen enemies, of something of that sort.
Nice work for 72 hours!
Hi! Thanks for the feedback! Do know if you want to see more in less time that with f1, f2, f3, and f4 you can go to levels 1-4 and that after lvl 4 there is a boss, bullet hell like. Enjoy!
I dig the music! It was nice to see the variation between levels
Hey guys! Thank you for your comments <3 <3, it makes us very happy to know you all liked it!! :v: :v:
Hola que onda perro, yo no hablo mucho ingle vite, pero bueno, aca etamo, jugando de ruta porque estamos con una tostadora. Ta buenardo el juego, la musica esta riki martin. Para 72 horas esta bien bueno, espero retrocompatibilidad con ps4, Xbox, Switch, PSVIta y la concha de tu hermana. Saludos.
Great work!! Nice characters and the music fits perfect! Congrats!!!
I liked that most of the strategy is focused on the resource management; I didn't want to leave the fire to collect wood, but not doing so is a guaranteed failure!
Really like the concept! The plain text bothers me tho.. Would rather look in the discription rather than be flooded with info right at the start. apart from that.. great aesthetics!
Tough game! I was constantly torn between wanting to protect my fire, and wanting to venture out to grab some wood. Most of the time I'd defend and hope for a wood elemental, but sometimes you gotta take your chances and find some tinder. I think it would have been cool if there were powerups, or some kind of special ability you could trigger (maybe a temporary shield for the fire pit so you could safely hunt for wood?). Of course, not much time in Ludum Dare to implement that those types of extras
I liked how there was more than one enemy type. The big elementals on level 2 are especially difficult. Also, the fact that attacking reduces the flame is a clever idea. Great work!
Most things i like in this game is sfx and water person sprites)
nice, scalable ressource management. Good work!
After about 5 attempts I managed to get to the second level. It was really cool to see that you have multiple levels with new art and music. It was really challenging, I was finally defeated by what seemed to be a boss on the second level, who was shooting :sweat_drops: at me and my :fire:.
I like how you had to constantly make jugementcalls between going out to get more wood or staying to defend, making the wrong call at the wrong time would very quickly result in you losing.
Great job, I enjoyed playing it a lot! :smiley:
Yes! I beat the ice boss of blue balls with the fire from my heart-uh.. from my fire. The music on the second stage was pretty bumpin, too so good choice with that ;) Reminded me of some tracks from the old Boom game (Mac os cross over of Doom and bomberman... I'm old).
Well done on the entry!
@cottontshirtz Hehe ;) I think thats the most funniest part, did you play at lvl 3?
@d1str4kt0r Thank u so much for ur comment ;) <3
@boxedmeatrevolution Yeah with a little bit polish we can try to put that special powerups on ;)
@epsulon Our favourite sprite appears in lvl 4, did u play it? Try it! :zap:
@simon-rahnasto Ow we are so glad that you liked it <3 Thank u so much
@langotriel Thank u! <3
Good job, I really liked playing it, if the enemies had come faster, maybe it would have been better. It is very complete for the given time. very nice game
Some random thoughts while playing the game: - This is a *lot* of text to read before starting the game, but hey, props on having a tutorial! - I think this might've been better with mouse targeting. Enemies from the cardinal directions are easy to hit, and enemies that come diagonally almost impossible. - Earth elementals sure are selfless. And burn remarkably well. - I wish you could drop wood *next* to the fire too, so you could collect some while you don't need it. - I wonder if slower enemies would've worked better. I barely venture out into the world - it's sometimes even hard to hit enemies when you're close to the fire, but with my slow move speed it becomes absolutely impossible if I try to pick up wood that's a bit further away. - I can't believe you added a multiphase bullet-hell endboss to the game. (And I *knew* catuwu was really a cat!) My slow movespeed makes that it a bit hard though. And why can I suddenly shoot as often as I want to without losing health?
The mechanics seems solid and could probably be improved with a little iteration/polish. The art and music work well. All in all, pretty nice!
Nice game, i like that it has several levels.
Hello fellow Construct user! Good to see more of the Construct 2/3 entries this year! :smile:
Nice concept, maybe a bit text heave on the intro - with these jams, the simpler the better, there's stuff you could streamline / make the game more fun. You could lose the extra keys ( B to begin / T to restart from beginning etc.. ) - do it with a single button / or UI buttons .
The wood collecting could just be touch. Then all you need to worry about is moving and aiming.
The use of WASD / ARROWS was pretty cool, and felt natural.
