How does the game fit the theme?
I may have misunderstood the theme until a few hours ago but the idea of surviving with one torch to survive a cold winter's night and someone Sarcastically saying "nothing could possibly go wrong " Stuck out in my mind after dealing with the oh so wonderful Canadian winter all my life

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
I did not make some of the sound effects And the font Which I got ironically from brackeys tutorials

Not So Idle Spaceship - Game Jam

For a game made in two days, this is cool (pun intended). The visuals were really gooood. Would love to see this on a bigger scale, and more mechanics and entities involved.

The idea is what could possibly go wrong stuck in a forest at night with only one torch in the middle of winter. The original theme had a whole campfire and freezing to death motif but didn’t have time to get to it.

The idea and the visuals are quite nice, specially if you only had 2 days for the game! More variation in the gameplay, a story and a torch that burns a little slower would be good - I always felt in a rush to find a new log and did not have time to inspect the world like I wished :)

Nice submission!

Subject #413 (Brackeys 2025.1)

Yeah I had to change my original concept to something that worked a longer timer probably would have been smarter originally I had wanted to make it where you had to gather firewood and bring it back to a fire that slowly died throughout the night and further away you got from the fire colder you got so that way you would have to go further and further from the fire to grab more wood as he used up the wood around it

Good aesthetic choice and actually I feel like a kind of lost through the game and I thought this would be a good candidate for the walking simulation games maybe with a theme of crawling throught the forest through midnight. Good one.

This game is beautiful. Love the ps1 style graphics, the snow looks awesome, the pixelated star skybox is great. Definitely one of my favorite games visually this jam. Great job!

The idea is interesting
I'd like to have a some kind of pointer in the center, cause now it is hard to grab logs. Mouse sensitivity is uuuh, fast for me :)

Hook Line & Chill

GLXDeveloper310 days ago

yeah, there’s definitely a few tweaks and I think that is definitely something that should’ve been added. Could’ve been pretty easy to do as well. Sorry it was rough to play.

The concept is nice and I thought the graphics and sound quality were solid as well. There's almost a sort of horror vibe to it which had me on edge a little lol. I think the lighting/survival mechanic could be a great base for a game with more content, this felt a little bare although I understand you joined late.

Still a solid attempt, gave you a follow there because I'd love to see what other sort of stuff you can come up with! Cheers!

Thank you I really tried to nail down a very uneasy feeling kind of like what you get alone in the woods almost claustrophobic in a sense and I will definitely be making a lot more games I enjoyed this far more than I thought I would

I like the concept! I had a little difficulty figuring out where I needed to look to get the firewood, but once I figured it out it was easy. Was consonantly panicked trying to find my next source of fuel! Simple yet addicting. I think adding a timer to see how long you can last would add a competitive aspect. Was always trying to figure out if I did better than last time or not

Thank you very much glad you enjoyed it there's a few things I couldn't add in time that timer or while a score tracker was one of the things I was wanting to do but this is my first actual game I've ever made and couldn't figure it out in time Along with an enemy creeping about to make things more tense I just really wanted to make sure I finished my first jam
