Some feedback:
- It would be good to be able to move diagonally. Eg pressing south and west at the same time would move south-west. There a tutorial on doing that here (option 1, though you don't need a KinematicBody)
- It's pretty challenging, even on easy mode!
- Feels a bit slow in the early stages, could default movement be a little faster?
- Some audio and/or visual feedback when enemies are getting close to the fire might be helpful to the player. I was often off farming trees and an enemy had snuck in from a corner of the screen, I didn't know it was there until it reached the fire.
Overall I had fun! Great game.
The artwork is cool and I love the atmosphere!
