Let's Make Fire


You are alone on an island. Make a fire on the top of the hill so a ship can see you.

Your boat sank. You wake up on the beach with nothing in your hands, and two stones at your feet.
At the top of the hill, there is a big pile of wood. Light it!

Walk around the island, pick up what you find, and build tools at the table of your camp. Then
find a way to make fire. You can light the big fire on the hill directly, or make a fire at your
camp first and carry the flame up there.

We put six ways to make fire in the game.


The theme: OldTech


For us, the oldest tech is fire. So we made a game about making fire. Enjoy.

You have two hands: hold something in each, and hit one against the other. It feels weird at first but it gets better.

Tips


- Use the table at your camp to put two things together.
- Wet things don't burn. The sun dries them, the rain makes them wet again.
- Hold the click until your arm is ready, then move the mouse towards your other hand.
- Bottles come to the beaches. Read the messages inside.
- You are not alone on the island.

Known issues


- In the browser, the game takes some time to load the first time. Thanks for your patience!

Already the hitting of the stones in the hand is superb. fun to play and quite a lot for a game jam.

that is a very VERY cool game, i really enjoyed it, there is so much content, the mechanics are so cool, you might want to add co-op and publish it to steam, it will be a really cool game for playing with friends, thank you for that experience!

@roma4ka thanks, good suggestion, we will try (as well as adding more ending and coop gameplay (volleyball, minigolf and so on))
