The control being more point and click also made it a bit tedious to maneuver around the forest after some time, rather than engaging. If also felt like the fire lasted a very long time compared to how long it took to get to the objective. After a bit of running back and forth from the fire I realized I could just keep walking and not really go back to replenish it, the enemies disappearing on their own also didn't help with the sense of needing the fire.\n\nI think if you had a faster burnout time on the fire, but a way to stockpile wood so it would \"refresh\" itself if you were gone could lead to more of a need to manage it. Overall tho I think its pretty solid.","likes":3,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"johnjoemcbob","author_uid":"1199483","time":"2020-04-20T13:08:23Z","epoch":1587388103,"modified":1587388103,"text":"Great!

However, I barely found myself reaching that point at like 5 minutes into the game. It made it more frustrating to die, because I knew I needed to play through the first 5m again to get back to the good stuff.

I couldn't figure out what I was doing for the first 2 attempts, so an explanation that its a grid-clicker would have been much appreciated. Unfortunately, I think that this control scheme didn't work very well for the concept, given that tight, quick maneuvers to get firewood to the fire and to get away from the smoke ghosts were the main challenge. Collecting logs felt too easy, and avoiding monsters felt too hard. A fun idea dragged down by the choice of controls.

Rude.XD \n\nThis was pretty atmospheric, though considering the prominent guitar I was surprised by the lack of guitar stuff on the audio front. The graphics were great, and floppy moustachioed guy by the fire was one of the most entertaining pixel animations I've seen this whole Jam. But it would have really upped the challenge if you had to race all the way back to the fire each time to disperse the demons. As things stand, it was actually pretty relaxing after a while. Would have also been nice if the forest map had openings all around and not just in one direction. But overall it has a solid core with lots of potential.
