I like the walking mechanic - cute game

I love the elegance and simplicity of the design, as well as the very endearing tone. As a suggestion, consider adding another layer of atmospheric sound, such as wind blowing through trees or river water flowing. I think that would ground the piece a bit more strongly. Great work overall.

Nice simple and enjoyable, great work! Sound works great with the movement and was smooth to play. Nicely done!

nice look, good feel. I just wish there was a little more to it. Maybe more obstacles or different things to throw in the fire.

Cute game. The graphics reminded me of Sokpop games.
Good job!

i think it was good but it took all the time to hatch that egg and it fly's away I think you should make it so you can tame it.

Loved the throwing mechanic! I think it would have been a great thing to focus more on. Was funny to walk with 4-5 sticks, throwing them towards the bonfire.

Thought the player was a little too slow, and didn't really find the game too challenging, as it wasn't even under the threshold at any point, but I liked the concept. Good job!

I quite like the simplicity (no shading) and the walking is funny but it's way too short and small :)

Very good game for 72 hours! I think there could have been done a little more work on the procedual animations (Which I am guessing the walking is), other than that, maybe add some more functions to the game and it would be incredible!

Very nice looking game, I only feel like it lacks some content, but the visuals mostly makes up for it

This game fit the theme very well. I liked how the fire sounded like popcorn popping, I definitely thought I was going to eat the egg after cooking it but I guess I'm glad the bird hatched.

I love this. that bird is my child and i birthed them myself. very cute, and the bird chirps is a very pleasant reminder of the outside world.
