Alive by Campfire is a short survival game set around a campfire. Monsters are trying to snuff out the flames, and you must protect your companion and keep the fire alive. How long can you last?

This game was made for the 2020 VimJam! 

It's a rough prototype of the idea I had of a character going "there and back" to defend an area, picking up collectables along the way and having to choose whether to ignore one or risk a monster reaching your base. 

Have fun and feedback would be much appreciated!

Hey, I dig your game. Love the jazz in the background and the mechanic with the campfire is a nice implemention of the theme.

Unfortunately my game crashed when I was picking up a bomb so I couldn't continue.

Hey thanks for the kind words! 

I appreciate letting me know about the bomb crash, was able to fix it :)

I survived for 5.41! Fun game, challenging without being frustrating, I liked discovering what all the power ups did and it was an enjoyable experience. Music is chill and art style is moody and tidy. Like the sense of atmosphere the fire gave. I can recommend it! Rated :)

Challenging w/o being frustrating is the best thing to hear! Glad you liked it :)
