  • I loved the idea behind this and hope you continue developing your skills with it. Creativity was great. Loved the shader work. Gameplay was ok. As other people have stated and you yourself mentioned, pickup is finicky. would have loved a way to replenish the torch. Theme interpretation on point. Polish was ok. As talked about there are a few issue.

As others have pointed out, picking up/dropping was a little bit janky, but I love the concept. Hopefully you get the chance to expand this after the jam. Good job!

Developer

Thank you!

I like the idea, I can imagine a whole game built around this concept. The interpretation of the theme is also great. Well done!

Developer

Thank you!

Really neat concept :)

Picking up requires the character to be below the item , while dropping require to be on the place you want to drop.

So picking up a log needs to be placed down when stadning in the fire.

amazing shader of shadowing light in campfire and torch, but picking up items mechainc is strange or buggy. Good luck!

Developer

Thank you! I'm aware of the issue with the item pickup mechanic, I'll fix it when i can

Picking up was pretty flakey, and the shader ended up casting a ring of darkness around the campfire :D  Cool concept

Developer

Unfortunately I wasn't able to figure out how to fix the issue with the shader in time (I'm still working on it), but I do know what the issue was for the item pick up mechanic and will fix it when I can.
