Keep the fire alive. But don't overburden yourself, it's a steep climb.

The game might be a bit easy and it’s a bit hard to understand when the fire is going to die, if you want to improve the gameplay!
It may be worth adding a fire health bar in future so player can see the progress of the fire (I wanted to know how to win!). I also love the artwork in the sky too.
Great work on doing it all!
For improvements, maybe you could add more feedback for the fire and animations for picking up and dropping wood logs
Good job !
Gameplay could be made more entertaining if picking up logs was not capped, but instead every log slows you down, so that at a certain point its more efficient to go twice. This would give the player more choice instead of just picking the closest 5 logs and bringing them to the fire as fast as possible.
