Loved the idea! Fyi, I was able to enter and esc the houses by destroying the walls... I don't know if it was intended!

Well, that was a special experience X)

The game has a "surreal" vibe that I like, but I was not sure what to do : I put thing into the fire, but my axe broke and then I didn't how to advance in the game: also the fire does not seems to die.

Also note that if you don't use z and q, you can also assign z to up and q to left, so that azerty keyboards don't have to switch layout to play ;)

This is pretty funny. I got a little lost. I love how the arms reach towards interactibles. Really made it easy for me to understand what to do. It didn't seem like my fire would ever run out though.

@dodormeur Thats some great feedback actually, as we never think about other keyboard layouts. Should have cheated more and imported our usersetting module for you ;)

@khaotom Maybe you were just too good ;) You can probably have the fire going more than anybody would play the game ^^

kinda feels awkward holding space to move things around, but otherwise a really fun game that satisfies my pyromania :)

Smashing down doors feels so satisfying!

This is a different game. It was fun. The controls are a little difficult.(for me :()

It's really fun to destroy everything to feed it to the fire ! great idea :thumbsup:
The control could be better tho, I played on an azerty keyboard and I had to use one hand for the arrowq and an other for the mouse, I had to stop using the mouse to reach the space key ^^

The abilty to just rip down the environment was super fun to mess around with. My best was 440 seconds :D.

Very nice idea. Controls are a little bit awkward but it makes a lot of fun to destroy the whole house and put everything into the fire, even the neighbor :D

Cool physics, fun to play :) if such a funny simplified graphics is not a main idea - polish graphics and game would became sweetie in a proper wrapper, in my humble opinion.

@retrome thanks man, appreciated :)
even though the physics are kinda basic for unity, it was trickier than we thought to make them roll well with our game mechanics! fortunately, i was busy making all the models while @krexor did the heavy lifting on gameplay :)

Stove Man sandbox. I loved it. My 2nd favorite part was when i found out you can just chop down walls instead of using doors. My favorite part was when I found I could just burn my house for more fuel.

I like the funny comments and the IK use :D
I would like it more if there was a challenge. got bored after a while. didn't want to just keep burning everything. I fear in the end I will have to burn a dog... or my wife :P

also liked destroying everything :D

I'm still laughing on that, when I burn walls, chairs and table. He said my wife will be proud of me (something like that) xD . Love it. little hard to control Stove man. Good Job.

@meme-310 Thanks man! Hes not really intended to be able to go into the fire, but, yknow, physics x)
by the way, mammoth expedition was great :)

@abdurrahman-khallouf Hey thanks! The IK was kind of a thing we needed to learn for our next "real" project, and we are not more confident now x) damn that shits hard!
Anyways, thanks for playing :)

Ik is really hard...you don't learn it watching a youtube video. you practice a lot. and half way through your game . you realize how structure is very important. and you re-create the system :)
