Not a bad start!\n\nThe velocity change on changing direction is nice and snappy, without being instant. Feels right.\n\nCould do with zooming out a bit.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Piturnah","author_uid":"1159226","time":"2020-04-22T17:28:31Z","epoch":1587576511,"modified":1587576511,"text":"The graphics and sound was great. The concept seemed fun, but the jump height seemed to randomly change and I wasn't able to get past the second campfire. Overall great job.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"BoxedMeatRevolution","author_uid":"1004894","time":"2020-04-22T17:31:26Z","epoch":1587576686,"modified":1587576702,"text":"I win!\n\nI think you reaaally nailed the controls for this game. Best feeling platformer I've played this game. The way the character jumps, the acceleration, the height, velocity.... mmmm All feels good. Also, when you let go of the direction keys in mid-air it feels like there a very satisfying \"dampening\" of horizontal velocity, followed by falling straight down. So good :yum: \n\nHowever, the platforms were shrouded in darkness! The idea of carrying around a light and needing to move fast before it dies is interesting, but I'm not sure if it's pulled off here. I would have loved to do more platforming where I could clearly see the platforms!\n\nOverall, I think this game feels great, and looks really nice. Would love to play a longer and more polished version!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"SkelleRoznik","author_uid":"1176071","time":"2020-04-22T17:32:20Z","epoch":1587576740,"modified":1587576740,"text":"Interesting concept.

In the present case, it's just a chronometer, and forces the player to make angel jumps in the darks.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"milano23","author_uid":"1003781","time":"2020-04-22T17:36:47Z","epoch":1587577007,"modified":1587577007,"text":"Cool graphics and music.

Also, the music doesnt dont fit that well for the mood of the game, its kinda bloody and the music is very happy. In graphics is well done, obviously need work like all other games in the jam but keep it goin! the concept is cool :)","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"raimi","author_uid":1202536,"time":"2020-04-23T00:38:55Z","epoch":1587602335,"modified":1587602335,"text":"@chance-slaughter, @piturnah, @jcx64 You need the Google Drive version, which has a fix for high-fps players.\n\n@jcx64 We did not use SDL, mostly because it (iirc) exclusively uses software rendering.","likes":0,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld46\/203285-01bc2843355fa78ae3f6f5fd38becb09.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/open?id=1A2eSKdnPbF6e0YOoHEuA5vL2a_EPa3Lh","text":"Youtube"},{"url":"https:\/\/raimi.itch.io\/campfire","text":"Youtube"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"60639","g_author":"1202536","g_event":"LD46","g_eventkey":"77","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"273128","g_title":"Campfire","g_status":"PVT1","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"13","g_site2_node_id":"203285","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"203285","n_urlkey":"273128","n_parent":"176557","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/46\/campfire-4","n_slug":"campfire-4","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"202536","n_created":"1587429556","n_modified":"1587596801","n_version":"625488","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":203285,"parent":176557,"superparent":9,"author":202536,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2020-04-21T00:59:33Z","created":"2020-04-21T00:39:16Z","modified":"2020-04-22T23:06:41Z","version":625488,"slug":"campfire-4","name":"Campfire","body":"![campfire.gif](\/\/\/raw\/827\/13\/z\/303a4.gif)\n\nA 2D platformer where you carry a lamp through a forest.
