Graphics and Audio were top notch! Overall felt quite polished. The gameplay felt a bit lacking, though. Maybe add a timer to see the score in the end? The ground texture reminded me of Flektarn camo :grin:

Your game looks really nicely crafted. The ambient sounds are atmosperic (especially the crackling ofthe fire) and the graphics look very nice.

Gameplay is fun for some time. Once you collect a hand full of upgrades you become a machine that blazes through the forest smashing down trees and hurling a metric ton of wood to the fire, which is fun at first. Since it feels like a positive feedback loop, you seem to get more and more powerful without a real goal. It yould have been nice, if the fire would increase the burn rate over time or you had something like a final tree to chop down.

All in all great work!

P.S.: Is the typo in the title screen of the german version a joke I do not get? (L**o**gerfeuer)

@stmatn The Typo is a joke, because the name of the game is Compfire, not Campfire. How that came about, however, is something I won't say! :tongue:

Cool game, really liked graphics, and audio, but gameplay is getting stale pretty fast, maybe you could add animals like bears,wolfs which you have to avoid?

I liked it! All I would say is that it would be nice with music, and if there was a better indicator that the fire is almost out. Maybe like an alarm sound, our vignette around screen? Otherwise, good job! :thumbsup:

I love the graphics so much! Playing the game was a nice short experience! It did lack in gameplay after a certain point but that doesn't mean it wasn't good! Love it! :)

I like the different abilities you can pick up, such as bag size increase, camera zoom out, and better axe. It got really difficult toward the end where I had cut down every tree within the campfire halfway health radius, which meant I couldn't possibly reach a tree and back to the campfire on time... Played through a couple more times and I'm not sure what to do after I get to that point.

Great work overall, I had fun with it.

Cool game! The gameplay is solid, and the controls feel good, and the graphics look great! Although, I wish there was more of a challenge, because running around grabbing wood got a little stale. The only part I had trouble with was finding the fire after wandering too far away. Still, good work!

It wasn't quite clear that the number associated with the campfire on the UI that this was your score, I thought it was the number of additional logs on the fire there were so when I finally died (around 95 score) I had started to wander waaaaay off as I had gathered a ton of pickups and wanted to explore more.

That being said, when you don't chop down every tree you can use them to help guide your path back. The pickups were really cool little touch I hadn't expected when playing and added a lot of interest to search further and find out what else there was to find out there.

I wasn't sure what the end point of the game was, just to rack up a high score or to survive a set amount of time. Apart from that, good game, would like to see it built upon and expanded more.
