Really enjoyed the music, and the art style. It was a little difficult to tell when the fire was getting close to going out, so having a more dramatic size difference in the flames or something would help. Overall, well done!
@nicksmaddog thanks so much, thank you for the feedback! :)
Cool concept and sweet art! I do miss a feedback for the fire life tho. Great work!
Great job on the music. I like the background. It's good that I can jump right into playing. However, I think the gameplay is too simple and unoriginal. Adding a few more mechanics would have made the game more engaging. For example, covering the fire from rain or something.
Good graphics and music create some mood to this game, but game so easy.
I like the game’s mood a lot, you managed to do something very relaxing and lovely! Awesome :slight_smile: The game might be a bit easy and it’s a bit hard to understand when the fire is going to die, if you want to improve the gameplay!
This game is a must with music on! (Don't ask me why but I tried it first without and I completly lost purpose and progress). The music is really wonderful, with the crackling fire and wind *heart*. Something to note is that if a bit of wood lands in bottom right (before fence) you can't pick it up as it gets stuck. It may be worth adding a fire health bar in future so player can see the progress of the fire (I wanted to know how to win!). I also love the artwork in the sky too. Great work on doing it all!
Nice relaxing mood ! The audio and sfx are amazing For improvements, maybe you could add more feedback for the fire and animations for picking up and dropping wood logs
Good job !
Atmospheric scene, I liked art style and music.
I really like the graphics and attention to detail (such as the player getting smaller at the top of the hill), creative take on the "keeping fire alive" game. I agree with the other commenters on the fire health bar. Nice job!
Very beautiful and simple game. Quite relaxing too. Wish there was a few more things to do.
The atmosphere, graphics and music is all really good. I wish there was a bit contend, perhaps a story or some more gameplay.
Lovely Graphics, Music and SFX as the others noted.
Gameplay could be made more entertaining if picking up logs was not capped, but instead every log slows you down, so that at a certain point its more efficient to go twice. This would give the player more choice instead of just picking the closest 5 logs and bringing them to the fire as fast as possible.
Chill vibes with atmospheric atmosphere. I wish there was more of an end goal for keeping the fire alive
I liked the atmosphere and music a lot. I think the core loop could be a little bit more obvious. Also, a goal would be nice--last through the night, maybe? Nice work!
