Simple game. Had fun for a while, but after that I got a bit bored with driving around and picking up the same branches and stuff.

Submitted

Simple but effective. The movement feels very smooth and it's fun to outmaneuver the seeker.  The theme is a bit of a stretch on this one, but what it does well, it does really well. Solid entry.

Check out mine and drop a rating, if you have the time :)

What a sweet little game!

Submitted

Very nice little game. At the start i thought that the one near the fire was an ally and i was trying to interact with it ahahah.

Well done :)

Submitted

Pretty fun little game. Simple yet working!

Submitted

Nice and simple, but it gets repetitive quite fast. I would add maybe other fires and/or seekers to make it more challenging

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

Would have loved some defensive mechanic as well, I might just be bad tho... Please implement dodge roll with invisibility frames, like my game :') 

Submitted

It's a decent game with a nice concept. My only issue is with picking things up. Sometimes the game just wouldn't register my inputs. Other than that though god job.

Submitted

Love the plinky music!

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

Well done! Adding a small invincibility timer would really help since I got double-hit at one point.

Developer

Ill add that in a post jam version!

Submitted

It took some time to understand where the fire was at first, but after finding it, it's a nice little challenging game I think.

I don't completely get how it fits the overall theme but good job anyway :)

Submitted

It’s very fun to play, I feel that art style doesn’t go really well, but you did it yourself in 48 hours, and to me that’s very impressive. Keep up the good work!

Submitted

I like the concept of satiating something's eternal lust. truly an out of control idea!

Submitted

The graphics leave a lot to be desired, but keeping the fire alive is definitely a unique interpretation of the theme.

Developer

Thanks for playing - unfortunately i fell victim to programmer art 

Submitted

Fun game, the idea is nice but the graphics aren't that great. Well done anyways.

I like the art and music! But, it's too easy to say the least and not challenging enough. Would love if the difficulty got more hard as time goes on. It should have a high score too. Nevertheless, good job!

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

Hey, this is cute! I struggled a bit at first. I'm not sure if it's a bug but if you pick up and then drop an item, I couldn't seem to pick it up again? Good stuff!

Developer

That is in fact a bug, sorry to hear that happened... thanks for playing!

Submitted

It's a nice game ! Everything is functional and well made, good job ! (Also, nice programmer art :D)

Developer

Thank you!

Cool game! If I had to say something to improve it, I would say:

  • It needs a music volume controller. The music loop is great but after a while I feel it too loud.
  • More seekers would be great. Though the game description says that there are various "seekers", in the game you only fight one. Maybe after x time more seekers would spawn?
  • The game needs some progression. Once you've picked the first stick and held it to the fireplace, you've done all you can do. Maybe increasing the difficulty and adding one or two mechanics through the gameplay time would be great.

I understand that the majority of this stuff is bc the 48h. But hey, keep improving it even if it's not for the jam! I really liked the idea and would love to see how it grows. Best of luck.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback - I'll be sure to work it into a post jam version.

Submitted

I vibed the music! And the art was cute! Fun game but it took me a little bit of time to understand what to do :)

Developer

thanks for playing. I didn't quite have time to implement an in-game tutorial unfortunately, but will in the post jam release.
