a funeral.

I tried this game out and it was pretty confusing. Here's what you can improve on:

Make the movement speed of the character and the speed at which he turns around faster.

Make the area brighter, (possibly by adding lighting around the outskirts of the map.

Improve on the collision detection because to add logs to the fire, I had to click above it.

Add more danger to the game other than the fire running out to build up tension. (perhaps enemies that try to douse the flames or people just generally trying to kill you.)

Overall this was a rough attempt but of course it can be much more enjoyable if you improve on it. I hope you get to do so in the future.

Congrats with your first Unity date. Hope not last because I can see great potential here.

Minimalistic gameplay, but it looks good and there is a mood about it.

Hey! Congrats for finishing the JAM. I'm also in a similar boat, in that I didn't really use Unity before (I prefer Monogame, and I usually work in 3D), but it was a nice challenge.

Cool little game, kind of similar to pick up sticks (almost quite literally).

I'd say the advice from Catalysti stands, especially on the character speed.

Thanks for sharing your game!

For your first Unity game it's totally understandable you ran into some hiccups, we all do when starting out! Hope you're encouraged to make more things and see your skills with the engine improve over time. Your game shows real promise, if you had a better handle on the tools themselves I'm sure it would have been great. Keep at it!

Quick reminder to get more players: Use a thumbnail for your game. Otherwise your game is presented with this grey box. Some great Games are not played because of a missing thumbnail ... You can still change it by editing your submission page :)

Mood was really good, and the click-to-move controls worked well. Each time I played I ran into a bug at some point where the player would switch to the "holding a log" animation but not actually pick up the log; this prevented me from picking up any other logs, and so I had to watch the fire slowly die. Sadness.

Too bad I can't check this game out, but I think the name is pretty depressing. Why was it called like that? I haven't noticed the idea in the description. And, to be honest, I don't think that funerals are that popular nowadays. Well, I just know that more people prefer cremation and maybe even making [ashes jewelry](https://www.geturns.com/collections/cremation-jewelry) instead of burying a body, so I think you should consider changing the name. And I'm not talking about switching to cremation, it would be even more depressing.
