Carbón by dacap
Keep the fire burning with more coal so the generator runs.
Controls:
- WASD or arrow keys to move
- Space bar or Z key to jump
- X or Enter or Shift to hit or attack
- Down+Attack to hit enemies in the floor
Notes: There are some things that were reduced just because lack of time:
- Better graphics
- Different enemies and levels
- More sounds
- A real "loopable" music
Anyway it is playable ^_^

By the way, not sure if you know, but if you review some other peoples' games, you'll rank higher in the list and other people will see your game and play it. My game sucks but because I'm reviewing other peoples' games, I get reviews ;) I'm sure other people would love to play this too, so you should review a few!
I played this game on stream at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/163569305 00:25:45
It needs some kind of "tutorial" of what to do, even a simple cinematic of the character picking the coal and launching it to the fire.
Overall, the game is fun and frantic without being frustrating.
Great job man
The audio-visuals are nice and the controls, while slippy, are fine. Hurling coal into the pyre is strangely relaxing. Now there is one issue with the controls due to the fact that attacking and throwing are done with the same key. If you spam attack a group of coalies next to wall and one of the dies and turns into coal, you end up constantly throwing coal to the wall instead of attacking.
Another bug relates to the bigger coalies. A few times I ended up smashing one of them indefinitely. They'd somehow become invulnerable!
Having something else to do alongside keeping the bonfire burning would make the overall experience more varied. Ok work this.
