How does your game fit the theme?
Players will use the "calm before the storm" to build a shelter for their fire. Once the storm is unleashed, they will find out if their shelter was sturdy enough.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes. All of the code and assets were created by me from scratch except for the royalty-free sounds and fonts.

I come too late for the rating, but it’s a great job for a first game!
Very creative and original game!
For real one of the best games I've seen on this jam. Creative idea, want more!
Thanks! I will most likely make a longer demo. Follow me if you want to play!
Great idea that really fits the theme!
Great take on the theme! There are some very good, open-ended puzzles, and the minimalistic style creates a fitting atmosphere. The physics can be frustrating, I would so often accidentally lit a stick on fire or knock a stone into the fire, quenching the flame. Good, small game though!
Loved this game! Seems very addictive
Also can you rate our game? thx!
Good little game, a little too easy to set your wood on fire.
Good job!
I was very addicted to this game, simple and pleasant style, relevance to the theme and the absence of critical bugs and errors. Great job!
Thanks!
A good game with a great feel! Reminded the developer from the mobile platform “Philipp Stollenmayer” : https://play.google.com/store/apps/dev?id=5379741222452478141 . My point is that a full version could be made and published on mobile devices :)
Haha I always burn the wood. The graphics is so nice.
liked this a lot. overall, very good :) but there were some points of frustration
- i ended up just doing the same solution for every level
- logs burning in the fire during the building phase is very frustrating
Thanks for the feedback! I agree. If I make more levels the materials and situations will need to be more varied. Also I think adding a difficulty option could enable/disable the logs burning before the storm?
Really enjoyed this entry! The art is stunning and the concept of building and managing against the clock added a nice layer of challenge. It's quite fun and engaging, though a bit more variety in tasks would make it even better. Great job on this!"
Great concept and great implementation. Nicely done!
Excellent entry. Beautiful art and concept.
Great game. Fit the theme perfectly.
If I nitpick , you could make that the trunk you move do not push too hard the other.
Other than that, all works well together. Congratulation.
I really like how you played with the color palette and the backgrounds, everything is so well thought out. I had a lot of fun playing :))
This is an incredible game, everything from the design, to the gameplay, art and audio is perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed playing this start to finish, well done!
This was really cool, loved the idea and the creative direction and felt super cozy while playing through The only thing that made it less enjoyable for me was what seemed like collision issues with the logs - I’d often have built a nice little shelter and just as I went to put the roof on it would hit some invisible collider, start spinning and knock my hut down :’) Regardless, I played through the whole thing and had a great time, really good job!
SUPER fun! More levels (Yes, there was a time crunch!) would be great! I love the gameplay, the art, the polish, it is great! Amazing job!
