Gets quite intentse, but I think my boss is looking at me clicking too much, so I have to give it a rest for now, although want to see the boss :D\r<br\/>The only problem I had is the camera control, as it sometimes stays behind the object I want to interact with, so I can see nothing.

I completed the game, though a lot of things were unclear to me.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The boss needs a health bar. I kept throwing everything and him and hitting him with roasted marshmallows (which don't deal damage, unlike usual ones), and didn't know if it works or not.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>There are a few bugs in the game. If you throw a marshmallow inside a zombie machine, and throw another one as the previous one is about to fall out, you can bump it back and it will count as 2 marshmallows.\r<br\/>Also, coins seem to have a vertical rotation axis, but for some ones the axis is tilted.\r<br\/>Picking up marshmallows with a stick is too relying on physics, it's hard to do it fast and reliable.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I killed the most zombies with the campfire, imbalanced a bit? Also, I wish roasted marshmallows had any use, like slowly restoring your health by eating.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>In general, I enjoyed the game and its surrealism, though it took me a several tries to understand the mechanics."},{"author_name":"ShadowBrain","author_uid":"15287","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 11:19am","epoch":1429614840,"text":"Cool! Thanks for the feedback Madball. If I pursue this game any further I will definitely make things more clear and get a healthbar in for the boss.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>OrangeeZ, you can actually roast them on the fire! It just takes some effort, you have to get one on a stick, then hold it in the fire using the stick. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Thanks for playing, everyone! :)"},{"author_name":"eddynardo","author_uid":"49260","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 12:12pm","epoch":1429618020,"text":"Hard game.Really liked the art work!"},{"author_name":"eddynardo","author_uid":"49260","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 12:34pm","epoch":1429619340,"text":"beautifull game, it was on my &quot;to play list&quot; from the minute you posted a gif with a bear holding a giand dildo :P"},{"author_name":"Cheshyr","author_uid":"20497","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 1:32pm","epoch":1429622820,"text":"nice graphics and smooth animation.  audio was subtle and pleasant.  amusing idea; great submission."},{"author_name":"rogberth","author_uid":"8913","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 1:35pm","epoch":1429623000,"text":"Really cute game.
