Artwork is fantastic. A couple of layering issues with the resources clipping through trees. Beat it 3rd try once I learned the locations of everything on the second. I took too long and ran out of wood :D
Such a beautiful looking game that truly adheres to this jam's theme. I had a problem when trying to pick up the sword because I was not touching the handle. Since the character was not picking it up, I just went around the level... so I suggest to make the sword a pickup as soon as you touch any part of it, not only the handle (even if it is more thematic).
I read the walkthrough before playing as I though its some sort of tutorial xD was waaaay too easy after that. But it looks very pretty, cute and fun to explore!
@hanamigi Thanks for so detailed feedback! Yeah, I agree with you, my way of picking sword up doesn't so intuitive . Next time I'll think more about such things)
Loved the basic drawn art style, and the animation of the characters. I liked the exploration, finding items and not knowing their purpose right away was interesting. Simple controls with automatic interactions was good, but it took a couple goes to pick up the sword because I didn't know I could.
Don't tell the wizard I stole back the fire's heart.
I managed to finish it! Good one. The walking seems a bit too slow. I liked the graphics and the colour palette with those pastel tones. Sounds and music it is really missing. The story also is quite interesting. I really loved the idea of putting those little wood pieces into the fire. The animations well done as well. Good job!
Aww what a cute game! I really liked the animations, gave it a cool "scribbled" look, like out of kid's book :) personally I felt like he could have been a bit faster :3 The gameplay could have been more interesting, but considering you did this all alone in the course of a gamejam You did a very good job! Congrats on finishing your game :) I think music and sound would have also aded much. There is a bunch of cool free sounds online, might wanna check that out :) for sounds, freesounds.com is a good starting point, as for music youtube has a lot of free music where you just have to credit the author :) Again, good job!
Cute game. I had a problem in my first run that I didn't realize that you can take branches, so I thought that you needed just do all quests before time is over. But time is annoying anyway because I like exploring ^)

Otherwise, I loved it.
