What a lovely game! The graphics are really nice. I like the design of the trees, the burrows, and how they glow in the night. Those little coal balls are such a good idea. You don’t have to just grab wood to keep alive the fire, but to wake up those cute little things ^^. The design of the main charater is also well done, his yellow jacket stand out on the blue floor and it reminds of the light of the fire. The sound design of the kicks is maybe a little to much compared to the music which is soft. But i really enjoyed this game, gg !

This game is really beautiful. I love the color used here. The objective is rather simple but effective. Everything is clear ! I love it ! I had a problem with the noise of kicks that detonate from the rest, and the hitbox at first but it's a shot to take!

Super cool and moody game ! The visual help a lot but with that music, it feel... relaxing, while in danger... It's odd but really good ! The animation and sfx are so soft it really just feel fine ! And the overall gameplay work so well (I love the fighting stance of the hero, it's so cool, love to beat bad guy)

Very cute game, simple but challenging. I love the graphics and the mood!

Cool game. A clue for players to know when the "coal houses" are being attacked would be cool. Good job!

At first i took me a bit to figure out that space was the kick key, so i think you should add somewhere "space to kick" or something. But, i eventually figured it out and honestly the game was really easy. I didn't explore the map as much as a could of because i had 6 coal huts close to each other that I patrolled around.

On the positive, i really like the art style, the music was fitting and the game was really simple to figure out overall.

Nice game. Really good addition to randomise the coal sources each playthrough!

@wolfier Actually, the instructions are right there when you start the game :)

Thank you all for your heartwarming comments!

oh... derp Well in that case i'll give a different suggestion, highlight space with a different color to make it stand out.

I love the quirky art, and it was satisfying to beat up the monsters! I didn't find it very challenging, but overall it's a charming game.

I absolutely loved the graphism. Simple yet colorful, it's an arty game to me. I liked the instruction on the ground diseappearing. Everything is clear, which is most the time the most difficult thing to do. Great job !

I definitely loved the art style. Didn't realize the shark-looking-people-things turned the little coal hills until it was too late the first time.

Lovely artwork and music. Animations are also pretty good, I especially like the one that plays when you kick out a monster :punch:

I loved the character animations, and then sounds when you land a kick :)

I really enjoyed this, the only problem I had was knowing whether my kicks would connect with the enemies, so I just ran away most of the time!

I love the art style, the visuals and sound/music work nicely together too :) And the gameplay was pretty solid, I like that it only required one input for everything so was easy to pick up. Really good job, well done :)
