I don't have a house anymore :cry:
All my items are gone, but I'm still alive. Fun concept for sure. Great job on the submission my guy!
Best, I've seen so far!
This game is really amazing. The 3D art and sound fx are all very soothing. the fire effects are very nice too. The urgency to keep the fire lit are a good game mechanic for this theme. I was glad it was not another Don't Starve knockoff. I will definitely play this game again very soon. Thanks for your entry. And best of luck!
Well designed game. Can see a good amount of effort went into the environment and intractability. Most notably, it was hilarious; had a lot of fun figuring out that I could throw all these outlandish items into the fire.
Only criticism would be how simple the gameplay loop is. Could definitely benefit from expansion to the mechanics.
Nice concept! I don't feel you can score the game on humor based on the game's nature of survival, but despite this you can really feel the mood coming in with the night full of cold, desolate, darkness. Nice HUD effects when cold, and the explosive gas can is a nice bonus, if very shocking... Burning toilet roll in these times seems evil. Art is superb, fireplace sounds are gorgous. Nice alarm clock reference. The gameplay does feel a little long/repetitive due to the nature of fire burning, which is a very good theme choice. If you had more time it would be interesting to see how this could be expanded into something greater with perhaps more backstory...?
Really cool idea and good implementation of that idea! Some extra polishing and mechanics to make things less dull would make this a really good game in my opinion. Such as a jukebox that plays some music in the background (definitely my idea). A settings menu to change the sensitivity would also be neat, since it was very high for me. Great work! :D
I am not sure if I am planning on continuing this project. I have some other cool ideas in mind.
The starting sequence is actually really neato, and i like the physics on all of the items.
A nice and very polished game, I loved who you were able to throw almost everything into the fire. The christmas tree, the chairs, the barrels and the wood they were standing on. The atmosphere reminded me a bit of Frostpunk. Would love to destroy the table to it into the fire too, it is a lot of wood. And I had the urge to put stuff in front of the windows, they loose a lot of heat.
Great mood! Thanks for bringing it by the stream!

A very nice little game ! Nice work with the intro, the game has a good mood.Great job !
I like the cinematic touch. The intro showing you throwing the match into the fire was a simple and to the point way of showing the player exactly what to do.
The intro cinematic was very jarring with the intense screen shake. It was a good idea, but it was just way too harsh.
The alarm clock wouldn't stop, even though I threw it into the fire. :cry: I think it, along with a couple other objects glitched through the floor when I threw them.
I like the fire extinguisher touch. I kinda threw it in there just to test, and I was pleased to find it was a proper easter egg of sorts. I then proceeded to freeze and die.
I would have liked some sort of indicator of how much time was left. It ended up feeling like it had been more than five minutes nearing the end, and I started wondering if it was just bugged.
Overall, a nicely made little game, especially for your first Ludum Dare. If this were combined with a story-line and or some other mechanics, I could see this being fleshed out into a *much* larger experience.
Honestly alarm clock stops when it burn out. I checked it on every stream. And yea there is an in game time, but it's kinda tricky. The clock in the walls are actually show the in game time. So in cutscene it says that you need to wait 10 hours. So when the game start you just should to wait 10 ingame hours to win.
Wow, great game! I even got the cristmas tree in the fire(after some difficulty of course). Very polished. Loved the cutscenes too. Keep it up!
Nice experience. Polished and interesting. The webgl camera for me anyway way sensitive. Got the hang of it though..I couldn't smell the fire though :(. good original entry
Nice game, I even had some stuff left when I won! :smile:
Thanks for bringing your game by my stream to play! If you'd like to watch again, the highlight is at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/603497062
