For some reason for me the game is a stutter when I'm viewing it and the music is choppy. Once I scroll off it it seems fine. Might be worthwhile decreasing the particles a little bit maybe?
Awesome graphics! And nice gameplay mechanic, I think it would be cool if the fire was restored by throwing the wood at it though. The best game I played so far!
Once I figured out that hitting enemies with the wood would also restore fire points it became easier haha. Though I think the spawn rate makes it a little impossible to get higher than around 500 points? If there were some other skill-based element that could give you the opportunity to overcome the deficit that builds up that would be cool. Rescue flare that you can use to signal for an airdrop if you time it right while a plane flies by? Not sure haha.
EDIT: Oh! I forgot to mention the graphics! That tree animation is so sublime! Looks extremely cool. And I love the fire crackling sound effect, wonderful.
I liked the concept of surviving and using a limited resource for two different purposes. It was hard to understand how to use the wood on the fire, but after a while it made sense. I also like the art for the player as well as the background.
A good game! A bit more mechanics polishing and it'll be a great one.
Of course, good to know it is NOT inspired by Jack London ;)
