Pretty cool game, i was able to make my campfire into a super nova relatively quickly. Doesn't seem to be anything out there in the wildness but i loved the ambience :D

Loved the night sounds and the audio in general. There's something in the recorded sound that sounds like silence. The coyote howlings took me by surprise.
There is an end to that campfire? Got it to the size of a small star.
Nice work!

Hi, very nice game, it's funny how a lot of people had the same idea (us too xD) but the sounds of the wolves really sell the tension, good job

Nice, the fire got way to bright near the end. Couldn't even see it any more.

this game concept seems to be very popular for this game jam. I did enjoy the environment, lighting and the wolves lurking in the darkness and mysteriously killing campers in the night. It added a certain sense of intensity to the game. However, I could only find about a half dozen sticks in the nearby woods, and despite a few quick attempts to explore, I never really figured out where to find anymore wood. The graphics and sound effects are nice. I hope you do well with the votes. Best of luck! :)
