Cute game! I think that this would be a fantastic foundation for a bit bigger of a game, but I still have fun nonetheless. I personally rushed to upgrade my axe, but I think it may have been better to try to prioritize campfires sooner. I'll have to done some experimentation :smile:

Nice art and sound design, I love the axe slashes! A cool concept, overall, a fun little game.

Nice little game!! At first bonfires didn't seem to do much, it was too late when I realise their use...

this is wonderful little concept. I think it may be the most minimalistic survival game that I have ever seen. It does a great job of keeping all the core elements needed to truly still be a survival game while stripping away everything else. Nicely done.

I survived 39 days. The theme is because each day is 10 seconds? I was also thinking it could be related to the Doomsday Clock, you know "10 seconds to midnight". I felt like there was a theme of environmental protection in this game, cutting down all the trees to light fires and try and drive back the new ice age. I played through to the very end, with my final tiny fire in a small patch of green in the gigantic screen of ice. Very well done!

Cute game, I also really like that you can hold down mouse button to chop. Otherwise it would have been a lot of clicking

Neat little game that I would definitely play more of if it was a full game.

Fun concept and simple to play. Even with the simple graphics, the game had a very foreboding tone.

This game is lots of fun i would love to see it with villagers or something you got to protect cause right now you just cut trees i wish there was more to build besides fires

I liked the concept! Made it to day 39. Felt like the third axe upgrade was not worth it
