How does your game relate to the theme?
I associate "cozy" with a warm fire. So in this game, everything is themed around fire. The player must stay within a warm area in order to shoot, but must leave their cozy comfort zone in order to pick up experience dropped by enemies. This makes for an interesting moment-to-moment experience and gameplay loop.

Anything else you would like us to know?
I had a lot of fun with this jam, and a few late nights. I loved the theme and found creative freedom with it. Thanks for letting me participate.
