Firekeeper

My submission for Shovel Jam 2025 : FIREKEEPER

Tetris but outside!

Just Get the fire Started, and keep it going as long as possible for a high score!

This wasn't my main idea, but after spending most of the jam working on the main idea I ended up giving up because I was too deep into some complicated problems plus the idea was very ambitious for my nonexistent art skills. I almost didn't submit anything but about 30 hours before the deadline I had a random moment of inspiration thinking of this much more simple and appealing idea based off of my memories of camping with my family. This is what I mocked up with the little crunch time I had left. It's amazing how much more fun something is when you make it under pressure with little time rather than when you have a deceptively long amount of time to keep putting off making the actual fun part. So this "game" is very lacking with no sound and very basic visuals, but with the upside of being actually fun to play.

If you read this big yap session I really appreciate you. This is my first game jam, what a blast, I've learned a lot!
