Best game on LD49. The only complaint is that you can not kill rabbits in this game. But, overall, 5/5.

First of all the menu is some kind of strange and it rips my eyes a bit, i was a little confused when i saw the tilemap, it's undetailed,but still the idea is interesting, mechanics are realised, gj!

I got a lot of frustration from the trees colliders - they should definately be smaller. A lot of times I was unable to chop the tree, but the collider didn't allow me to come closer.

A very simple nicely done game.

Good job!

I've seen a few keep-a-fire-going games in past LDs. Still, this game has got it's own take on things. Nice touch with the intro. Pretty short game but it's easy to muck up and let the fire go out. I would have liked a clear indication of a successful attack on a wolf. The graphics seem pretty inconsistent, in particular with different sprite resolutions.

This was fun! :D

It had a nice amount of mechanics: cutting trees, fighting, upgrades... But it lacked a lot of polish. Biggest gripe for me was the sprites. If you make a game with pixel art, you should make sure the pixels of different sprites are the same size. One of the trees had pixels four times as big as others.

Fighting was the biggest surprise. It would have been much more fun if there were sound effects and/or some visual effects. Maybe some particles (blood?) or just make the enemy or player flash if they take damage. Now didn't know if I did anything before the wolf was dead.

You should really try to get at least one screenshot of the game. More people might be interested to try it :)

It was nice that it wasn't endless survival, but there was an ending. Lots of potential in this one. Good entry!
