The Appetite of Blaise the Fire by Drunkain

made by Drunkain for Ludum Dare 46 (JAM)

Your very own fire, Blaise, is hungry. Can you leave such a flam(e)boyant friend die from hunger? Hell no! Let's feed him with everything in sight, and let it grow!

Control: Click on Object to catch them, and release the mouse button to release the object as well! Be carefull not to smother the fire with too many objects or too large fuel ! Take care of your fire and it will grow endlessly ! You'll be able to move bigger object as the fire grows!

A UE4 game by SirKovitch(Boris Kolimaga), Anton Salikhov(VisonMignon) and Vincent Jalliffier-Merlon(Drunkain).

I had more fun than expected. I like how you gave the fire a personality, with goals and aspirations lol

This was a legitimately fun game to play. One of the best I've seen so far. Good job guys!

I played this for way longer than I should have this is one of the best games I have seen all night! All though it is a little bit frustrating to get past the stage of the house it is so fun! just throw everything in and watch it slowly grow... I would have liked to see more stuff that could be burnt inside of the house at the start of the game but overall I really enjoyed playing this game it is probably one of the best games I have come accross all night!

I loved it really! awesome graphics and highly detailed for a jam game!
I really cared about Blaise xD

+ Art
+ Sounds and music
+ funny (liked barbecuing fire trucks xD)
- The controls are bad though, it feels very hard to drag stuff especially from top to bottom, didn't want to replay the game because of it

everything about the game is awesome.
the fire reminded me of the fire in Howl's moving castle movie....

actually when I was brain storming I thought of him :)
ended up making a game about fire but in totally different way...
give it a try if you will :)

I will finish it later I think because I got died a couple of times

you should mention that you can use your scroll to move objects ;)

I love your game! This was really fun to play! One thing though, when you win or lose, the program locks up and you can only exit from task manager.

This was amazing. It's like finding fine art in Ikea. And I didn't even play the post-jam version yet :)

Loved it! Really fun. Like Katamari Damacy, but hotter!

Maybe some instructions that you can't pick things too big until you're ready would be good as I thought the painting couldn't burn for a bit, it made the beginning a bit more difficult - but wow when you bust out of the house with the music kicking in - what a feeling

Well paced and complete feeling game.

Did you guys make all the assets (sorry if I sound offensive here just wondering, they were very well put together even if you did use external ones)? Great work.

@eldogg No problem :) yes, all the visuals are done by SirKovitch and myself!
Yeah, maybe I should write it down in the description, thanks!

And thanks to everyone for your very nice feedbacks :)

Its an incredible game.

I had so much fun to feed Blaize and the mechanis where pretty good.

The controlls are a bit wonky but still worked.

A really great Game.

Well Done.

And most important... It triggered my inner pyromaniac ;)
