This is my response to the game jams theme where you the player is stuck in the woods with nothing but a camp fire. who knows whats lurking in the dark. hope you have as much fun playing it as I did making it! wish I had more bug squashing time. I hope to release this game in the coming weeks complete with a final boss and a few added cookies

Cool start. I think possibly my favorite feature in any jam game so far that I have seen was how your eyes followed the mouse. Great effect that adds a lot of feedback and characterization.
Art was nice. I found the fire burned out really quick especially with only 3 wood slots. I'm sure you have lots of ideas for things you can do next.
Good start!

It grew large!
I'm not sure why there was a sword and an axe, since the axe seemed to function perfectly well as a sword? I'd either specialize them more, or simplify them into one item.
The inventory system was neat, but it was a little strange doing some minecraft-style slot-scrolling to accomplish the relatively simple task of dumping a few logs.
The difficulty curve was a bit flat, I'd either make the fire die faster, at an increasing speed, or increase the threat of monsters to distract from the fire.
Ultimately, very good looking, and a couple systems were very well made. Cute as hell, and as someone else said before me the animated eyes thing does wonder for the game juice.
P.S - character's eyes are the best )
A few of us did make the same theme over.
Liked your execution, hope you will be able to make it bigger after LD!
