Well this was surprisingly fun. It's a bit confusing at first, the fire spreads slowly, but once it gets going it's a fun game. Nice work!

Interesting concept. I was keeping the fire alive, but certainly not the forest! I struggled a bit to know how effective I was at spreading the fire. Some more feedback in the form of sound effects or even more visual cues would have helped. I found myself getting stranded without enough trees or too many dead ones that I didn't spread the fire from fast enough.
Turns out that burning virtual trees IS very relaxing for me :sweat_smile:
I found it a little bit difficult at first to tell exactly what effect I was having, whether the mouse position was where the wind was coming FROM or going TO. I did work it out with enough trial and error, but I think it might help if you could make that more obvious.
Also, is it possible for the fire to spread AT ALL without active wind? It seemed like even trees close together wouldn't catch unless I was using the wind. I think it'd be great if the wind was used to cross gaps, but the fire could spread by itself if the forest was dense enough.
The art style is simple but very pleasing! I especially liked the particle effects. Great job!
What a relaxing thing to do... Greta Thunberg would disaprove! :laughing:
I missed the sound of burning trees, maybe some animals running away or burning would be a nice touch to add!
Liked the Idea! Putting the irony a bit aside, it would be a kind of educational game, to teach children the dynamic of fire spreading! :smile:
Hard to understand at first time. But then it's fun.
Nice work! I think it would be good to have at least some sound (maybe even just a burning effect that got louder the more trees were currently burning). I really like the idea of keeping the fire alive at the expense of the forest.
Nice twist on the theme, keeping the fire alive instead of the forest is unexpected.
Simple and good concept for a jam game, though it can be a bit hard at first to see the wind's direction so maybe the wind animation could be improved.
Was a bit hard to understand how the wind worked, but i managed to work it after some fiddling. Also feels like there should have been natural spreading for where the trees were close together. Could really have done with some audio too. Good idea, had some fun with it, but could have been executed a bit better
Nice little game. Burning down a forest seems to be opposite of what the theme is, but at least it is a unique idea.
