Fire Setting by Ieyfo

[raw]
made by Ieyfo for LD36 (COMPO)
Hello, first thank you for checking out the game :D. Next this is a game about timing and strategy. The idea behind this game is simple but executing the task isn't. You have acquired the ancient skill of Fire setting where you light a fire in a cave to heat it up then throw water on it to break the rock and get the gems. I have altered it just a bit by taking out the water part and making is so you have to click the gems as the come off the rock. You can then sell the gems for money. Your goal is to get 2.5 million in cash to win the game but wait there are 2 things in your way. cave ins and gem chances. The longer the fire is on the higher the chance for a cave in but the better chance for more valuable gems. You have to ways to combat this, one turn off the fire overtime the chance will go down, the chance for a more valuable gem will too. You can also spend 10k to automatically take away 5% from the current chance of a cave in.

Is the reward great enough you will have to find out.

***Note: If you exit the game you have to start over just to make it a bit harder.***

Game Play from start to finish is about 12 minutes.

For whatever reason the executable makes you run it as Administrator? Not too keen on that. But good entry nonetheless!

Loved the music! Gameplay itself is indeed a mindless clicker, which is not usually my style, but I did like it.

I tried it a while ago and quit. Now, as I finished my game, I decided to just win it, and so I did. It is quite easy once you get the hang of it and get past the hard part at the start. I liked the music, good job on making it in time! Also, I didn't find the way to get any of the gems. Is there a way to get them?

It is one of the games where the main challenge is just finding out how to win, which I like.

...Sighs @BoltKey you click them as they fall if you didn't know how to do that then there is no way you won.

You make money from selling them.

Also there is a thing when you win so ik you won, and i don't see it ;) Thanks for playing! Read the How TO.

@Ieyfo I meant the gems which were ruby, diamond and... that third one. Listed at the top of the material list. Sorry for not being clear. The others were mostly metals, which I of course collected and sold. I had the gem chance on 64 max. I tried to follow the tip to "click fire" but that didn't seem to have any special effect.

Oh no that is for players who don't read the how to play cause thats the way you get started. If you max was 64 then you would get the first 6 starting from the bottom, for every 10 you unlock a new gem. Just avoid caves and you will be fine about how long did it take to beat. @BoltKey

To be honest, the probability of loosing immediately gave me the feeling that I was playing a gambling game. A lot of the systems feels like it was left to luck.

That said, I did like the exponential money growth. It was satisfying to make the score go up really fast with just a few clicks. Cool stuff, nice experiment.

Liked the way you played with the player and how much they want to push their luck before turning off the fire. I had quite a few cave ins before playing a bit safer. Was able to get to 1.9m before a cave in and giving up. Nice first entry.
