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.

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 :)
Nice and simple, but it gets repetitive quite fast. I would add maybe other fires and/or seekers to make it more challenging
Would have loved some defensive mechanic as well, I might just be bad tho... Please implement dodge roll with invisibility frames, like my game :')
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.
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 :)
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!
I like the concept of satiating something's eternal lust. truly an out of control idea!
The graphics leave a lot to be desired, but keeping the fire alive is definitely a unique interpretation of the theme.
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!
It's a nice game ! Everything is functional and well made, good job ! (Also, nice programmer art :D)
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.
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 :)
