How does your game fit the theme?
The campfire in the center has a countdown that represents how long the fire will burn. When the countdown reaches 0, the fire goes out and the game is over.

Nice game. I like the auto pick up and attacking. I played for quite a bit and the fire went out and the game was over. It would be great if there was some sort of alert of something that was geting low. Still thought feels good and plays well.
Thanks for your feedback. The game actually has an "alert": the light becomes weaker with fewer seconds remaining.
Simple and fun
Love me a good ole fashioned simple gameplay loop. LOVE the artstyle, omg the thumbnail alone is incredible. It's pretty chill to keep the fire going for awhile but man once it gets low, the quickness that the ghosts descend upon your campfire is fatal. Would love if there was some sort of power up to kill all ghosts in the vicinity or something, at least to counteract the barrage of ghosts so you can recover! But super fun, great submission!!
Quite simple yet good gameplay loop! Enjoyed playing this one.
These damn ghosts tryna mess up a good thing
The thumbnail is beautiful! It took me a little while to realize that you kill ghosts by walking up to them, not pressing spacebar lol
Simple game, but executed well - loved playing it to keep the fire going!

nice idea, wellexecuted!
I love this. simple game but the sfx and visuals made it very satisfying and enjoyable to play. How did you make the sfx?
This was so much fun and had such a cool balance between the wood and the ghosts. It really felt like just the start of something that could be amazing, kind of vampire survivors like. Love the manic rushing it gets you into :)
Very cute little game! I love the art and the ghost sounds haha. I like how picking up the wood and swinging the axe is automatic :)
Nice gameplay loop
I like the atmosphere and loop!
Love the minimalistic input. Not having keys to perform actions feels really snappy and clean.
I got 97 ghosts over like 240 seconds but it didn't let me post it here noo. Simple game but really nice music and art!
This is a really cute game with a creative idea! I also really liked the sound effects in the game. I agree that adding levels would be a good idea. Maybe the easier levels have less obstacles, or spawn more of the shiny logs. Very cute game though, I enjoyed it!
While playing I realized I wish there was more of a level system there, where you kind of fight through the up until the next day. Then I really wanted a small tower defense style addition to ward off ghosts or maybe slow them down or maybe a companion that brings some of the logs close and maybe different ghost types to require different mechanics to take them down.
With all this said, I never thought the game be boring or not enough, I just wanted more of it and I really enjoyed the idea of fighting off ghosts from my bonfire

great ideas actually!! i think we wouldnt had enough time to implement that in game tho, but the next day system couldve been really good
Really interesting mechanic! I like the mix between tower defense and managing your time against your health. The pixel art is super cool too.
I would have loved a slightly smoother difficulty curve though, rather than suddenly getting hit by an army of ghosts when they were coming one by one before. Otherwise, really nice little game!
162 seconds and 47 ghosts, yeah! I never heard of water ghosts before, you just unlocked a new fear T.T
