Beakon Fire by Longfall

made by Longfall for Ludum Dare 59 (JAM)

"The Pioupiou's beacons are lit !"

The Fox clan is attacking Pioupiou Kingdom. Little Piou is the only chick capable of leading them to victory. Convey messages from one beacon to another following the established signals and, hopefully, save the day !

Note : Web build on itch.io.

GAMEPLAY

As colored smoke shapes appear, click on the corresponding fire, then select one of the four color powder to answer to the one of the four beacon.

The position and color of the smoke emitted by the beacon correspond to the position and color of the powders of each fire.

If two smoke symbols disappear behind the cloud before the time is out, the kingdom will fall to the foxes, as the informations could'nt be conveyed in time.

That was so cuteee. :bird: Satisfying mechanic. I wasn't sure if it was infinite or i could get to an ending.

A definite big thumbs up for the graphics and music. There’s a nice, pleasant musical background that evolves with the game. While the gameplay isn’t very complex, it has its progression, which is great. Also, a very pleasant final moment.

A lovely visual and a lovely music who works in sync! The gameplay is a little to banal unfortunately, but the moment it sped up is a good rush! I'm happy to say that I beat the game, tho!

Obviously little chick is super cute, but I sound foxes to be cute too haha! Progression is a bit unclear though, I've only found out you can actually win from the comments. But I didn't mind it even when I thought it was infinite. Good job!

Haha, that's funny. I was actually thinking about a similar idea myself when I remembered The Lord of the Rings. Really well polished. The music speeds up along with the gameplay — cool.

@joegreen Yeah two of us were actually rewatching the entire trilogy just before the Jam started so it was a source of inspo for sure XD Glad you liked it <3

Cute game, well done! Loved the graphics, the victory screen deserves to be a downloadable wallpaper :grin:

Great game, good looking and polished. Music is really good and adds to the atmosphere. Gameplay could be made more interesting by adding more strategy. For example, if more smoke clouds were present at the same time, choosing to switch between fires becomes more of a strategic choice.

This is such a cute entry. The challenge is good. Not too few to get boring or too many signals to get frustrating. I love the character and level art and the music. It's a good contrast to the more hectic gameplay to keep calm. I failed the first time and saw the cute foxes but then did it again after realising I was confusing the feather and ring smoke signals. Well done!

Wow, super cute! The visuals, colors, and movement all come together into a really cohesive and charming package. Everything felt well implemented and easy to read at a glance.

On my first playthrough, though, I did mix up the colors and the symbols a bit. If I had to nitpick, I think it might feel more intuitive if the colored bonfires matched the positions of the ones in the background, and then you chose which symbol to display on top of that.
