Fifty Fires

What's out there? Amid the grim darkness, you see only the faint glow of campfires. They flicker and dance, but don't last. Can you keep them alive for as long as possible?

WASD to move, Space to interact with campfires.

(some reflections from me, read after playing) 

• This game was made in preparation for the GMTK Game Jam 2023, but I could not produce my idea for that game jam on time. So, please accept my humble "submission" :(
• I made this game after realising that a lot of my friendships ended not in a bang, but in a whimper. Still, I designed the fireplaces to go out if you spammed them too much, just as some of my own friendships ended because (I suspect) they got tired of my incessant texting. Find your own meaning in the game, if you can, and let me know.
• Coding: I'm still very new, and working with prefabs is hard. Still, I'm glad that I now have a template for 2D movement and interaction with objects.
• Art: finding the right assets is hard, and I wanted this to be more minimalist. When I move on to larger projects, at least I know how to cut a spritesheet!
