Staying Warm is the entire game: shield the campfire from wind gusts and feed it embers to keep warmth above zero until dawn.

I managed to keep the flame alive, and had fun doing so! Like others have mentioned, it can be tricky blocking some of the wind gusts that come from the side. But overall it was a fun time and the visuals were great!
Game was pretty cool, I think one thing that's limiting it is the wind coming from the sides requires a quicker response time than from above which can be frustrating. But the overall concept works really well and the graphics are well done. Great job!
The moonlit sky with floating embers looks lovely and the fire glow reads well on the dark background. I was not always sure what cost me warmth (the -10 popup appeared without a clear cause), so a small cue on hazards would help.
Good catch — just fixed it. When a gust gets through now you get a red flash from the side it came from, so you can see exactly what cost you warmth. Thanks for the detailed note!
Simple game, can kill time when bore. But I don't like your AI generated description on the game page. Btw good job bro
Fair — rewrote the whole description in my own words. Thanks for playing bro
Cool like the idea, but sometimes it says i didn't blocked and I'm sure i did ?
You were right — quick taps weren't registering as blocks at all, my bad. Fixed now. Let me know if it still feels off!
Good idea!!!
Addicting gameplay and in general very fun! Also easy to understand from the start :]
Thank you so much!
