I like the background. It's good that I can jump right into playing. However, I think the gameplay is too simple and unoriginal. Adding a few more mechanics would have made the game more engaging.

(Don't ask me why but I tried it first without and I completly lost purpose and progress). The music is really wonderful, with the crackling fire and wind *heart*. Something to note is that if a bit of wood lands in bottom right (before fence) you can't pick it up as it gets stuck.  \nIt 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. \nGreat work on doing it all!

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.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Camden Obertop","author_uid":"1186251","time":"2020-05-09T01:40:51Z","epoch":1588988451,"modified":1588988451,"text":"Chill vibes with atmospheric atmosphere.
