It's really good! The enemies were difficult.

Cool idea! I like the challenge involved in deciding whether to lock yourself down to chopping a tree or fighting monsters.

Some feedback:

- It would be good to be able to move diagonally. Eg pressing south and west at the same time would move south-west. There a [tutorial on doing that here (option 1, though you don't need a KinematicBody)](https://kidscancode.org/godot_recipes/2d/topdown_movement/)
- It's pretty challenging, even on easy mode!
- Feels a bit slow in the early stages, could default movement be a little faster?
- Some audio and/or visual feedback when enemies are getting close to the fire might be helpful to the player. I was often off farming trees and an enemy had snuck in from a corner of the screen, I didn't know it was there until it reached the fire.

Overall I had fun! Great game.

Nice little game. Delaying the fire to extinguish is a nice version of the theme. It reminds me Don't starve together.

Walking still feels a bit rough because you can't run diagonally. But otherwise I had a lot of fun playing :D

Nice game, a way to move diagonally would be nice, but overall great game, especially for a compo submission, good job!

@darwyn thanks for the feedback, walking diagonally was definitely an oversight. Glad you still had fun!

@redsti thanks, definitely messed up a little with the walking mechanics (i'm a little surprised i didn't catch that during testing). Happy that you enjoyed my game nonetheless!
