Congats on finishing the jam!

I like the art style.  Very retro!  With some music and sound effects added, this game could be a real vibe.

The enemies chasing you makes things pretty difficult, but I like that the little rooms at the end of the hallways give just enough room to dodge them if you time it right.  Would have liked to see a minimap or some other indication as to where the remaining kindling is because I got a bit lost, but I did manage to win in the end.  I also wasn't quite sure how to interpret the icon in the upper left, but the instructions were clear, so that didn't give me any trouble.

Maybe some way to fight back or defend from the enemies instead of relying purely on WASD movement might also be nice, but I dunno...leaving it as dodge only has its perks, too.

Nice work!

FIrst of all Congrats on submission, Great art, loved the art of the environment and the character. Great entry for the jam.

Some music, sound effects, a dash ability and may be a minimap will enhance the game greatly. You can also add more levels. 

Cheers <3

I think I beat it? Definitely gathered some things and then suddenly saw some text about never giving up and couldn't do anything from there...

Neat art, though the enemies following you forever is a bit rough

Pressing enter does nothing

Sorry! There was some bug, but it shouldn't happen now!

nothing happened when i pressed enter...

Developer

Sorry about that. It should be fixed if you would like to give it another try.

I was pressing enter but the First screen was not pushing forward Likely a missed bug

There was something with file checking that Itch didn't like for whatever reason. I removed those parts, so it should be good to go!

I couldn't press Enter to continue past the first screen :(
That's a shame as well since the cover art looked good too. Hope this gets fixed so that I can see what it's like.

Developer

It's should fixed!

Just played through it and it was good :)

The art in the corner was nice, though I feel it could be more responsive with collecting kindling.

There should definitely be some feature added to help get around the enemies. Once one saw me, I kept running from it, leading me to even more enemies. It ended with an entire swarm chasing me.
If there was some way to hide or get them to stop chasing, the game could feel less hectic and more strategic. It would probably slow the pace down though, which may conflict with your vision for the game.
