Keep the Fire alive by RilleP

[raw]
made by RilleP for Ludum Dare 46 (COMPO)

There is only one fire remaining in the world, and it is your job to Keep it alive! You do so by feeding it with wood from the nearby forest. Do not chop down all the trees, because then no new trees will grow.

When the rain comes, it's good to have a hot burning fire, and lots of dry firewood under the roof.

And make sure you do not burn your house down!

Controlls:

Move with Left / Right arrow or A / D

Jump with Up arrow or W

Pick up / Drop / Use items with Space

Mute music with M

I love the music! The way the fire spreads is also very satisfying. A really solid game :)

Great idea. I loved the music. It's a bit hard to understand why sometimes you loose after a few seconds that you leave your fire to find other wood even if the fire was big and how to avoid it.

@team-prosit I might be that you burned your house down. Or maybe it started raining and your fire wasn't hot enough.

So I got my truck stuck under a pile of burning logs but the good news is I seemed to be fire proof. When that beat hits in the soundtrack its like UNEXPECTED BUT I DIG IT.

Kept mixing up the space and jump keys that's my main criticism.

That's a fun time killer!
I love your fire particles especially when they BURN MY HOUSE!

Good job!

Fun game with great music! Driving across with the truck is very satisfying :)
It was a little hard to tell what was selected when everything was on fire though, haha. Not really a problem but having what you're holding display clearly above the fire particles would be nice!

I love this concept. Using "keep it alive" for a fire is perfect, and you can tell a lot of work went into this. Nice detail and it looks and feels good. Thanks for making it!

Ahahaha the ambiance was pretty cool (graphics, theme and music !), finding out that I could just "industrialize" my workflow with the tractor was pretty fun :D
