Even with the tutorial, the game was a confusing to figure out. A lot of this is that the game needs more VFX and SFX. These can be used to indicate to the player how much more wood they need for the house and when the fire used up another piece of wood. The other issue that I experienced with this game is that it is quite difficult for new players. It seems like you have to move very quickly in the beginning or else it will be too cold for you to do anything other than getting fire. Using Flow Theory, this game is on the more anxious side as the difficulty if too high for a new players skill.
With that said, the core game mechanic is quite unique, especially since it combines side scrolling checks with building mechanics and the small minigame of chopping the wood. I also liked the art style and for AI music its quite good.
The main take away from this is that you have a good game that is just stuntend by it being too difficult for beginners and it needs more indicators to the player.
