Found 4 trees out of 6! FXs are amazing! The sound is also cool! I like the atmosphere, the concept is simple it needs more game mechanics! 

Developer

Thank you and good job. If I had more time I could probably have figured something out :)

The fire effect is awesome, but I feel like that's all you had time to get working sadly. I wasn't able to find another tree since it was so dark, and just kept falling off the map. Would've loved to see what you actually wanted the game to be. 

Developer

Thank you. Yes, sadly working with Niagara and the Sequencer system took much longer time than anticipated. But I entered this game to learn, and learn I did :)

Really really like the art style in this game. The fire looks great! I wish the fire cast more light as it would make the game a bit more playable rather than blindly stumbling around and falling into the void. Even after 5ish attempts the closest I got was 3 trees lit. The audio was really good, though it was be great to have some kind of sound track too. With so more work and player testing it could turn into a great little game.

Thank you. I had a lot of trouble with making everything work, so I didn't get to the playtesting until it was too late to change anything. I know exactly where every tree is and even i have trouble getting them all, so I know that it needs some work in that department. Honestly im just happy I finished a game in time :)

This is in my opinion the best looking game I have played so far. But I don't know what i have to do. What is the objective?

Developer

Thank you, I guess making everything dark has it's advantages.

You can click the left mouse button to send out a fireball. There are 6 trees in all to hit with the fireball. You can fall of the edge of the map, and there is a timer. every tree you hit gives you 30 extra seconds.

Hi. I don't understand what we can do i start the game and almost imediately die. It miss clear objectives and instructions. By the way the controlls seems nice and good job on particle effects.

Developer

Yeah, probably. You can click the left mouse button to send out a fireball. There are 6 trees in all to hit with the fireball. You can fall of the edge of the map, and there is a timer. every tree you hit gives you 30 extra seconds.
You shouldn't die immediately unless you fall of the map or the timer goes to 0.

I have probably just move backward a bit and fall imediately. I have well find the objective but as we doesn't see anything and moving or shooting balls doesn't change lighting condition it's barely just a matter of luck there is no clue at all. That deserve your game as we are just lost.
By the way if you got a bit of time i would apreciate to get your feedback on my proposal. : https://itch.io/jam/kindred-community-jam-6/rate/989211
