Very fun and unique. Villagers so useless I threw them all into the furnace.

Developer

You monster! ๐Ÿ˜„

Thanks for playing!

thanks! โ˜บ๏ธ

This game was really fun and really well made. I loved the time management aspect while also trying to expand your circle of warmth. I found myself playing for much longer than I realized. Amazing job!

Developer

Aww thank you so much man! Much appreciate the kind words โค๏ธ

Fun AND funny--nice job! I may have thrown a few villagers to their doom๐Ÿ˜…

Glad to see another game from you, The Hole was neat, and this one is too! Good take on the limitation as well. Keep up the good work! Godot browser gameplay fidelity still amazes me 

Developer(+1)

Oh my god I recognized your name from one of the previous jams! I had to look you up but I remember your underwater game trenchglow quite well! I think I even made a video at the time ๐Ÿ˜Š Nice to see you again!

Now of course I have to try out your game. I can't believe there are over 300 entries in this one haha :D there's no way I can play them all, but its good to get some good references!

Really cute lil game! I really like the idea,

My only problem is that i accidentally threw like three villagers in the fire and feel kinda bad now lol

Developer

Don't feel bad! These guys know they died for the greater good (of you surviving an extra 3 seconds per villager)

Thanks btw appreciated ๐Ÿ˜‰

The visuals are absolutely stunning! The gameplay is great too. I canโ€™t believe this was made by one person in just three days. Iโ€™m sure you could polish it even more if you had more time.

Though Iโ€™m wondering what the wrench is for. Also, why do the villagers run away when I put them next to the campfire lol

Developer

First off: Thank you so much! โ˜บ๏ธ

Next: I tried to explain the wrench in the tutorial. It is used for 2 things: 

  •  Use on a stack of 3 wood to build a furnace. Furnaces provide heat and push away the frost.
  • Fix a broken furnace (after you put out the fire first)

And finally: The reason the villagers run away when you put them next to a campfire is because you just lit them on fire and they are screaming for their lives. If you don't put them out with the watering can they will burn to death haha ๐Ÿ˜…

The idea is that you build and maintain your base, but if you accidentally burn your wood or villagers down it is usually an accident and causes more chaos.

Hopefully this makes sense to you ๐Ÿ™‚ Thanks again for playing!

Nice, that was a fun game to play now

Developer

Nice ๐Ÿ˜Š Glad you enjoyed it

Addictive gameplay. Music in the main menu sounds good and funny.

I think if you would finish it can be pretty good small strategy for people who like frostpunk. 

Developer

I love Frostpunk! I got it for free on the epic store and played it with no expectations and it blew my mind!

But this game was intended to be a lot sillier. The chaos of making mistakes and having to fix them. Frostpunk really was about brutal survival in extreme conditions.

Thanks for playing and also thanks for the kind words. Appreciated! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Absolute banger.. So much fun and it looks so polished.. It's absurdity is not lost on me, hilarious game. Found the easter egg but it wasn't as hard as I was hoping it'd be, lol - Nice touch.. If you sync it up when the music cuts it adds a nice musical touch too WHHHAHHAOOOOOOOOOOOOAHH!

Developer

You found the Easter egg! I think you are the first ๐Ÿ˜€ itโ€™s so dumb but I had too much fun with that one. 

Thanks for the kind words! Glad you found some humor in my silly game. Makes me happy to hear ๐Ÿ™‚

Hi!

The visuals are absolutely stunning! I learned a lot from the choices you made in designing the environment and characters. You managed to achieve so much with such limited resources. The tutorial felt just right (really well structured!), and the gameplay kept me hooked for a solid 15 minutes. Amazing work!

Developer

Thank you! ๐Ÿ˜

What I was trying to go for is to get you in a rhythm of maintenance with some controlled chaos due to mistakes. Glad to hear it seems that I managed to entertain you for 15 minutes ๐Ÿ˜€ at the end of the day thatโ€™s all I really want

Fun game! took me about a minute to start burning villagers out of desperation 

Developer(+1)

If the villagers donโ€™t burn they freeze. I think you made the right call ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Thanks!

Simple and fun, I like it! 

Developer(+1)

And I like you! ๐Ÿคฉ

(As a friend)

(Also thanks for playing my game)

This game was way more fun than it had any business to be xD

Really enjoyable and interesting mechanics.

Developer

Thanks Zohmer! It was only meant to be a goofy game where its easy to mess up under constant pressure of repetitive tasks. Hopefully your playthrough had some moments of unexpected chaos :-) 

Submitted(+1)

I am currently playing without a mouse, just the touchpad of my laptop. And my grand start began with me repeatedly failing to throw the villager onto the soil. I just kept missing it until he somehow started burning and died T-T AND IT'S DURING TUTORIAL
I never knew a jam game could make me laugh like a horse. Really can't comprehend the fact you've created this all alone... Incredible work, truly.

Developer(+1)

HAHAHAHA omg I had no idea that was even possible! I wish that moment would have been captured I would have loved to see it.

You know what, if nothing else I'm happy I was able to make you smile ๐Ÿ˜Š

This is now my favorite comment of all time ๐Ÿ˜

This game is such a blast! I really love how everything is coming together and how you made the throw & combine mechanic do so much work. Tossing everything feels nice and here is finally a game where I can toss some god damn wood in that fire from a mile away ahah. Congratz, itโ€™s really well done!

Developer(+1)

Oh my god you're the hot hot firey tongue guy โค๏ธ Thanks trying my dumb game. Appreciated! Hope you got to smoke some villagers

Submitted(+1)

This game made me burn people :(

Developer(+1)

You don't have to burn people! You can go the full pacifist route and come out on top.

But villagers do make good fuel sources...

Submitted(+1)

I like the style and graphics. The controls are quite responsive and intuitive. I skipped the tutorial, so I didnโ€™t immediately understand what I could do:)

Developer

Thanks! I was hoping that even if you skipped the tutorial you could still understand what you needed to do. The pause menu also shows all the controls + some advanced tips ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Submitted(+1)

Very cool and funny game.  Controls are really satisfying and mechanics are good.

Developer

Thanks! Appreciate the kind words
