The is overall a very well made jam game. I like the visuals and sound/music. The controls is overall pretty good, but I would personally have preferred a bit simpler controls. I did also had a hard time finding the fires. But anyway is this a good little game.

Yes we have heard that it has a steep learning curve for controls. If we do a polished release we'll be sure to take a second pass on the control scheme, and overall game flow. I think for finding the fires, I will be looking to implement a burning-state impostor, so that the impostor trees will visibly display their on-fire state from afar. 👍

Thank you for playing our game and for your feedback! :)
