Sadly there are some technical issues which makes game a bit worse: Grapple sometimes doesn't land on a tree even if it seems like they intersect. When there is no fuel a white square appears at the center of screen (i don't know was it placed there intentionally or not, but it feels a bit annoying). And also a thing with random loops which already mentioned in description.
But, in my opinion, remaining 'fuel' is clever, but not clear represented.
Good job!
I just wish there was some measure of progression or an ending that I could work towards, but you fit a lot of work into the jam already.
At first I didn't figure out that station is near me, it needs more clear visuals and ui!
Nice simple game and polished idea, I see a potential for this game, really good! Great work!
Also, you totally succeeded where I failed back in LD 47 so I tip my hat to you 🎩
my only problem was i kept confusing my smoke for small rocks but maybe it's just late and i'm tired
