This reminds of the time each summer my father used to take my sister and I out to the woods, and leave us there. Memories keep flooding back. Seriously though, well done keep it up!

The only thing you can do is cut trees but the atmosphere is great. I love the eyes in the dark. I also ventured out to the dark and the sound really scared me.

After a bit of whacking down trees, I decided to let the fire die - and it is legitimately quite scary the moment the fire goes out and you're just in darkness. Nicely done on the mood.

It's a nice game, maybe an indicator if you have wood could be good.

Pretty fun. This theme is overdone but you did well executing! Good job

I had the same experience as MikDionio. Thought there might be a win condition so I cut down every single tree haha. All in all, gave you good marks for the lighting and the theme, wasn't particularly fun, but it was cool to see the light mechanic in action while playing.

Loved this one a lot, especially how it captured the theme and how it played. Def one of the compo games I felt really went for the theme and mood first and foremost with little surprises as the flame died.

What the objective? So bored

This is a nice simple game. I loved the atmosphere and sound. The crackling of the fire was very realistic. I do wish there was something to do besides chop wood. Overall a nice game!

Nice and simple game, I would like to see some animations of the chopping of the trees. Maybe have them fall down and then collect them. Art work is nice too, good job Ratstail.

Congrats on finishing an entry for the game jam. This game has very little content, but the pixel art for the fire and the lighting caught my attention. I didn't feel like there was very much to do in the game, and I got bored very quickly. I hope your games continue to improve,and look forward to your next one. Best to you.

took me a second to understand but i like it

aret24 2020-04-22 13:26

Cool game!!! I have needed a while to understand what to do, but still great!!!

jazkottaja 2020-04-22 13:34

Great use of the theme. really liked it! could have had some animations but other than that really neat

sledzik 2020-04-22 13:36

simple but have potencial

Might be worth adding open/close animation for those eyes? My problem with your game is that it's too slow for something else to happen.. It was way too easy to keep the fire alive.. Maybe you need to ramp up the difficulty a little bit - otherwise, great job for such a short time :)

P.S. I was gonna try to play it again but it has a bug where fire is in bottom right corner and I can't play it just slowly letting the darkness come.. :)

ratstail91 2020-04-23 10:40

@martintale Could you tell me more about the bug? What was happening exactly? I haven't encountered this, so I'd like to know what caused it.
