I had a great time playing on stream. Narrative and game design is well implemented as well as the balance of difficulty. My suggestion for improvement is to make the clearer to the player how far the fire has spread so far. And making the area of the level a bit smaller, it is easy to lose track of your position, a simple path in the middle showing where the creature has walked helps a lot! Well done

Coold idea and nice art! You should try to develop this further after the event, when you have more time :D

Servers ShutdownThis was a really beautiful game, it was so unique! It took me a minute to find out what to do with the robot and I was trying to figure out how to upgrade the wagon. The old man was always so grumpy and mean, but at least he was still helpful in some regard, never letting you forget to get food. I liked the art too. One thing I wish could have been changed was allowing players to automatically pick up seeds and stuff. That’s all, thanks for making this game :D <3

ArchronGreat art-style and use of the theme! The music did its job, pretty tense and serious, without getting too stressful by being a loop!
I like having a bit of dialog and lore, but the old man was so mean to the yak 😭
I did make it to the… River..? Where there was a platform and a glowing sign as if it’s interactable? But I couldn’t interact with it 😵 Skill issue?
Controls not exactly intuitive, but I really like the idea of having to chose how to balance feeding the yak vs the old man!
Maybe you needing to feed yourself would give me a more obvious meter of how to balance it…
Great work, congrats on this submission!

Photo BombThanks for the kind words ! Oh no, the end sign may ahve bugged ? My interaction was such a mess at the end of the 4 days (i swear it was clean the first 5 hours :D )
I wanted the yak to throw the old man in the water at the end, sadly no time !
Thanks for the thoughtful feedback !
end spoiler for you :
When you interact you get a bell sound and the following text:
At last, the young guardian and the yak, made their way to the oasis.
But always, their forest will be on fire.
Really cool game! I was more focused on petting the yak than saving us all from the fire! 😭

Fading Flamei really like your idea, havent seen something like that one before! i also like the tile-based system even though the textures between burned stuff, grass and bushes are a bit rough because of it but a good game nevertheless!
