How does your game fit the theme?
The game is spread over two phases, a day phase where the player is safe (the "calm") and a night phase where the player must defend themselves to survive (the "storm")
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
All code and all art assets were made from scratch. Sound and music were not.

Wow, amazing concept, design, and execution! Love it! Obsoletely wonderful! I'm going to make a post about this game for you.

Glad you liked it and thank you!
Cool game! I really like the art style!
Thank you, glad you liked it!
I can't interact with anything, I tried E and F and a lot of other keys as well and then i flew up with nothing happening so 🤷♂️
Sorry to hear that. Part of that is likely due to my poor instructions / lack of a tutorial (my bad). The 'tree/bush' thing can be interacted with at the start and once you have 2 wood you can also interact with the spots marked by the arrow. The center flame is only interactable once the fire starts weakening (which only happens at night).
As for the 'flew up', can you describe that in more detail? That I have less of an idea for why that is happening.
Regardless, thanks for playing and apologies for the bugs!
I tried the game again, this time i was able to play but shooting stopped working for some reason. as for the flying "bug" try pressing space and E at the same time while moving left or right with arrows keys. you will fly up after a few tries, hope that helps in debugging process
There is an ammo system (the white dots - they spawn over time during day at the flame). Just another thing that really needed a tutorial haha.
Thank you so much by the way! I was able to reproduce it on my end with those instructions. You have no idea how helpful that is. I should be able to figure out what is happening from that and avoid that mistake in the future.
Hey great job on the jam! A small criticism I have is that it's little hard to understand what's going on, and the controls are a little strange. But I like the idea, and the sprite work is very well done. Very clean UI too! Cheers!
Yeah...that seems to a common pattern unfortunately. Lesson learned, next time prioritize an in game tutorial as well as control remapping.
I'm glad you like the sprite work, this was my first time trying to all of that myself so I'm glad it went over well.
Thanks for playing!
I made something fairly similar (day/night cycle, night is unsafe)
I love this! The only issue is that I'm stupid and couldn't figure out the controls :P
I feel like it's a solid take on the theme :)
And don't worry, seems like you're not alone. Definitely need to include an actual in game tutorial next time around...and prioritize my time accordingly.
Still, thanks for playing!
