Nifty little concept and impressive usage of bitsy and twine. It would have a lot of atmosphere with some proper audio. Interacting on the fire screen was quite humorous to me. Nice work.
thanks! as people say, nice ideas come from restriction (being unable to interact bitsy with twine). oh, audio would definetely helped it a lot hahaha I'm sure to fix it when I remaster these bitsy games. they are so quick to make, so I believe I'm also able to make them closer to my original intention.
thank you once more, for finding and mentioning the fire things. I loved it but chose to keep it not obvious, and was afraid no one was going to find it.
Brilliant concept and execution! I seriously had no clue that I had to interact until my second playthrough but enjoyed it both times. Very good stuff.
Triple thanks! For playing, for commenting, and for hosting this jam (:
Even though this game was very short, I felt like it really encapsulated the theme. A person disassociating in a cold, distant cabin seeing people in the snow tearing each other apart or connecting with the dancing flames but unable to really touch them. It's the kind of real horror that you can feel on a personal level.
I know you addressed this in the other comment, but it would be really cool to see more bitsy/twine mashups. Especially if they could affect one another. If bitsy has a way to establish states within the game to associated html classes that would be very cool. Also, I would have loved a little sound to it.
The game I did before this one had only two screens, this one have like four, right? hahaha But this approach seems to be working since I failed to deliver a lot of games in previous jams, mainly due to scoping. Really glad the story worked for you.
I believe it's possible to having them affecting each other, and more than that, I believe I'm able to achieve it eventually. Would also love to give it some sounds, unfortunately I just made the game with the spare of my spare time, in a few of 10 minutes spans.
The combination of Bitsy and Twine is really cool. Well done!
Thank you! As they don't interact with each other, it was kind of a design challenge figuring out how to connect these two things. Next time I will try to have one affecting the other one, but that will be more of a technological challenge for me.
