I appreciate the fully flushed out review, I would say you are correct on all points. This is the first game we have made for a jam where we scoped in ad narrow as we could to polish each element we do have as best as we can. We have had a few game where the unpolished bits ruined the rest of the game.
If we did continue this game, things like upgrades and fire spread would have been added. Maybe even a wider viewport being one of the upgrades. Thank you for playing, and giving a really good review that we can use to be better in future game jams.
