Fun game! Enjoyed being able to absolutely FLING the wood across the map. Funny ending.

Awesome game! I really like the graphics. You did a fair bit of work in this I can see all on your own, very impressive. Really like the progression onto bigger trees.

Having to keep a fire alive is a fun interpretation of the theme. Cave man nipples are always a plus.

That was funny to play! I have been transporting materials for a long time to collect many near the bonfire and finally see that I did not need all of them, that has disappointed me a little. But I really enjoyed it. Nice choice of color. Congratulations! :)

Nice entry with nice pixelated art.
A little advice: make a longer description with some screenshots or art in it to entice people to play the game.
You should also mention somewhere that you are supposed to use the mouse to click that blow, I spent a long time searching which button to push to blow. Better yet would be to assign a keyboard button to do the blowing.

liked the pixel art style and the sound effects were simple but effective, some background music would be a cool addition

The graphics are cute, and finally I discovered what to do, but I was missing some kind of motivation or thrill that would make me play the game again. Most of the time was spent just pushing things from one side of the map to the other, which is not a very rewarding mechanic. But to be honest, I'm not sure what could be changed to make it more fun.

Graphics are amazing no doubt, game lacks aesthetic tho. Some music would be nice. Overall gj

Not bad, I think I missed something though because someone mentioned an ending and I never got there. It felt like once I got the fire to a bonfire the trees just kept spawning nearby -- perhaps I should have left the camp? Regardless, fairly fun.

Weirdly enjoyable game. If someone told me beforehand that I'd find dragging logs across the screen for 10 minutes exciting, I'd be mildly surprised. But after seeing that ending screen, I told myself, "worth it".

A couple issues:

-The last fire description ("Fire with Fire G..."?) didn't fit on the screen for me, so I don't know what it was called.

-I left a coal lying in the fire, and it never got absorbed until I picked it up and threw again - perhaps there is some action that only gets triggered on collision status change?

-The controls say WASD but in reality it's more like A/D/Space

Thanks everyone for the feedback! i really appreciate it! Unfortunately there were some bugs i was aware of but didn't have time to fix (the final stage's name being cut off was one of those; it's "Fire for the Fire God"). All in all i'm proud of it considering it's my first game jam.:)
