Really cool how the light goes with the fire, when i started i didnt know how to find more wood until i discovered that i can move the logs and use them as light, rerally cool moment

Excellent game! Good mix of resource management and action. Feels very fair, even if you lose.

Fun and creative. One of the most atmospheric games I've played so far, and it was a treat. I always lost but it was still fun. There was also a lot of polish and intricate details like the tips when you die and the different enemy types. It was also really hard, but it fit the game well. Definit high scorer!

Loved the enemy style Enjoyed it but for some reason when I got the the far left my flame went out for no reason and it restarted me :(

Cool game! I didn't manage to make it until morning unfortunatly :( I was very bad at aiming the arrows! I like how you control the logs, felt very fun. Good idea and well excecuted! GOOD JOB 👍

Having to balance keeping the fire alive and having arrows to defend yourself was fun and challenging. Really nice pixel art and lighting effect!

Brilliant! very good idea and well implemented game design and audio and graphics to match 5 stars :clap:

Nice challenging game with a cute artstyle, i had fun!

Really cool idea, i loved the light mechanic. I think an improvement could be to have to logs slowly give off less and less light, instead of just going 100% suddenly, it is a bit hard to figure out how long they will burn for.

great artstyle

Looks and plays great! Arrows are a little tricky since they are kind of slow, but it adds to the tension. I like the inner monologue being used for hints too. Very cool!

@kasperhangard Thanks for the feedback! That's a good point, they shrink and the fire shrinks as well but it's hard to gage properly, if I were to iterate on it, I'd probably make the fire colour change too. Thanks for playing

Really nice atmosphere

Top points for mood, the ambient sound effects were very cool. The monsters were difficult to defeat, I wasn't able to survive the night. It'd be cool if carving the flaming logs gave you flaming arrows too. :smiley:
