This looks like has a lot of potential to be a fun survival game. I really liked the graphics and the idea.
But, you REALLY need to add some instructions. Whether it's in game or just down here in the Author Comments section. I gave it a chance and, after a few minutes of swinging at random big trees I finally realized I had to cut those little logs on the pedestals. But then, after another 30 seconds of trying to figure out how to pick up said split log, I didn't know what to do with it. Was it in my inventory? Am I holding it? How do I put it into the fire? Does my lantern have a life span on it or just the fire?
All those questions should be answered before someone plays the game. Also, the play screen is HUGE. Not sure if it's just me, but I'm not able to see the full edges of the screen so I could be missing some HUD I'm not aware of that may help.
And honestly, in all the confusion of not knowing how to play or what was going on, that blue monster scared the HELL out of me the first time lol. Like, soul left my body scared me. So good job on that part.
Like I said, add some instructions somewhere and possibly make that screen smaller and this will be a much better game that I will come back to complete.
