Thanks for the video! need to look into whats up with those explosions

Thanks for the feedback! In the full game you'll have to chain lightning with more multipliers to get the most fire.

ah I see what you mean, you can maximize your gains by having the lightning in a way that its the first thing that the fire touches, but you'll eventually reach a point where the fire is too big

Sorry about the crash! I need to investigate this but I've been busy working on the full game. The steam demo does not have this issue!

Thanks for the detailed feedback! There's lots in here, I'll take this with me for the full launch!

Thanks for the feedback! Using the lightning is indeed more useful than throwing the wood in directly. Good point about the explosives !

Sun better watch out !

Damn sorry about this, haven't been able to solve this yet but the steam demo does run without issues :)

Did you… beat the demo? :D 

Will look into this!

Damn sorry to hear that, I'll look into the crashes!

Strange, can you try another browser etc? Do you see an error message? Also you could try the demo over on Steam! It's also free and should work better!

oh it doesn't load?  What device are you on?

Thanks for checking out the demo!

 Yep the explosions , and theres also a ton of firework fragments making things slower. Its on my list of things to address for full release!

Love to see it! the Sun has no idea what's coming

You've no idea how happy this makes me :D Thanks for coming back to give it another go!

Thank you!

Hahah hoping this was atleast 20 minutes :D 
Thanks for the review, optimizing is certainly on my list of things to tackle as I move towards release

Do you mind sharing a screenshot of your spawner layout? I think some fuels and builds work better at feeding the fire during the rain in the current balancing, I'd love to address this!  I think if you’ve reached 12 it should only be a few upgrades away! Thanks for flagging this :)

Thank you so much for the detailed feedback!

Ah yes I know what you mean, it is indeed a side effect of the demo. I intend to add a little bit of the next phase of the game at the end of it so you'd be able to go back and max out the current upgrade tree 

Also thanks for flagging the performance issue, do you mind sharing some specs? regd. processor, ram etc if you don't mind.  

Hey y'all! My Fire Is Bigger Than Yours is a physics-based incremental game where you grow a tiny fire into an inferno by throwing things into it, unlocking upgrades, and setting off chain reactions.

I just released a new demo update after spending the last month reworking the game to make it more strategic, with clearer build choices and progression. 

Try it here : https://amarravi.itch.io/my-fire-is-bigger

I’d really love feedback on whether that added strategy comes through!

Glad to hear you enjoyed it, thank you for the feedback! Very valid points about the spawner direction and permanency, will be looking into it

Thanks for the detailed response, this is very helpful!

Thanks for the detailed feedback, I appreciate it!

The costs aren’t based on income but it does consider your potential income when deciding new costs. I can see how this can sometimes jump proportionately and feel punishing without clear communication. I’ll take this with me in the balancing pass for the next update

I hear you on the looking ahead and the feeling of being directionless as well. There is an intended balance between strategic planning and watching unexpected chain reactions, I agree that it currently leans more towards chaos. 

Was that mainly because it was hard to plan ahead? Or were there also other things that made it feel that way?

ah now  I get it, Thanks for taking the time to explain!

Glad to hear it! Currently working on the next update here which will serve also as a demo for Steam

Id love to understand more, what would you do if you could rearrange the spawners?

Yep! Thats definitely one of the reasons :D And also having some breathing room around the spawners so they're more spread out and considering the trajectory becomes a strategic decision

Glad to hear it! Really appreciate the kind words

That's what I'd hoped would happen, thanks for verifying! I'm patching this up so you can basically click upgrade immediately and see your new balance!

This has been on my mind, I want to have some stricter rules around spawner placement and then this would be the next step! 

Love to hear it, thanks!

Thank you so much for the detailed response! Really glad to see the design intent resonate with you!

Yeah fair point about the spawners, I added a "no zone" around the fire but perhaps the spawners themselves could have tiny no zones around them so theres a limit to how much you can stack together

love to hear it! Were there parts you liked more than others? Anything you didn’t like ?

Thanks for playing and reporting the bugs!

• Good catch, I think I will separate out the actual adding from the counting in animation
• Hahah I thought I’d fixed this but there can be a tiny window where the fire reaches almost zero and something is inside it, I’ll look into it! 
• Very valid about the reminder, will fix this up in the next patch

Glad that you liked the tech tree design! The goal was to always have something you can buy after a run :D

Thank you!

Fair points! This was a exercise for school from a long while back, I too cannot remember if this was based on canon events or not :) 

really cool idea - really well executed! In case you're looking for ideas - I expected to be able to pause a book to make it collide with and stop other books - and in general physics behaviors from paused objects that can stack nicely 

Thank you! I knew I wanted to do something isometric and basic shapes like prisms and cubes, the LEGO was inspired by kenny's blocks really, so glad that worked out! 

This was great - really clever take on the theme! Also love the little details you added in - like the broken heart on the surviving partner. I think the visuals, the music and the gameplay all mesh together really well! 

Shame it went over time but this is a great entry!
