Very cute!! Loved the secret squirrel stats!
Just think the introduction text is maybe too long. But it's a great game!

It reminds me of katamari, but flat. Flatamari.

Very cute, for some reason the first time I played I got stuck and my arrows did not work, but the second time was totally fine ^^

Simple idea with good execution. The only major shortcoming was that I couldn't tell if it was a natural progression of levels or if they were being selected randomly. I'm pretty sure it was the former but there was nothing in-game to indicate that.

Never thought burning squirrels would be so fun! Joking aside, very clever level design.

We had a similar idea when brainstorming for this theme! I love how you guys implemented it and the cute art. There is definitely potential here for building trickier puzzle levels!

The gameplay is super simple and it is pretty fun to play the game. The visual style was cool, and I really liked the music. The level was overall pretty good, but they was also a bit too similar. I would really have liked if you have made and ending to the story/game, that change dependent on what you have burned doing the playthrough. Overall is this a good jam game. Well done.

The poor poor squirrels. But I wanted them all ;) I like the little cold sweat drop when the fire approaches the water.

Wow, for me this is the best game so far. Firstly, I really love the idea, though it took me a moment to grasp it. Secondly, I think the visual design is awesome. It kinda looks like a board game, which I totally love!

Love it, love the graphics they are so cute which contrasts with the idea of burning squirrel alive. I did not read the intro but finished the game. Wouldn't have mind more levels.

Good job! I really love the hand-painting graphics! Move to eat the whole world is simple but can attract me!

Really good game, I feel like I could play it all day long. The aesthetic is awesome and I liked growing up to burn the place down. Loved it! It could be nice to have a save system though

Loved the art and calming audio in this game. I never thought burning squirrels would be so satisfying xD

Glad to see we were not the only one building a game about burning things haha
