Hooking mouse click to fire as well would be a nice start, but I think really adding controller support would make this game a lot better! One analog stick to move, one to aim. The problem with using the mouse is that your character moves around within the frame (they aren’t always dead center), this means when you move your player, the direction you aim changes. This feels bad. If you used analog sticks this wouldn’t happen, or alternatively you could keep the player direct center of the screen at all time.</p>\n<p>Still, I think this is a great foundation for a game, tweak controls and add sound and music and you’ve got something really good here.

Thanks for your submission to js13k!\nI’m sure you’ve worked hard on your game, but I’m not aware of how much time you spent on it, so excuse me if things I mention were in your mind, but got left out in the rush of the month or just because you hit the 13kb limit :)</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Great work on:\n<ul>\n<li>The graphics. The pixel art is consistent and charming for what you are going for here.</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n<li>I liked that you:\n<ul>\n<li>Put together an interesting concept with the fireplace mechanics, slimes and shooting.</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n<li>You could improve (again, I’m aware you might already know all the below):\n<ul>\n<li>If I understood correctly, the map is very small and when you walk to the border of it you get transported back to a location and some of the stuff resets (like a fireplace). That broke my experience with the game, because I couldn’t really explore the world and find the fireplaces, I was just going ahead and suddenly jumped into another location and had to adjust course.</li>\n<li>You have some mechanics together but they need to be balanced. I didn’t feel the challenge was scaling up or anything. Because of the jumps I was at lost with trying to survive. Maybe 13s or the fireplace running out of fire are too tight for the amount of stuff the players need to handle. I can’t think of aiming, shooting at rocks, avoiding slimes and so on all at the same time. The 13s effectively made me be on the run at all times.</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n</ul>\n"},{"at":380477432,"author":"Rémi Vansteelandt","login":"remvst","gh":3472387,"url":"http://www.remvst.com/","text":"<p>I really like the idea of this one. Twin stick shooters are always fun, and I think this could have been one of my favorites, but here are a few notes for next year that I think are holding it back:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>if I’m aiming with the mouse, I should be able to shoot by clicking. You can always keep the space bar too but for most people it won’t feel natural. It also caused me to restart the game too quickly after dying.</li>\n<li>the goal of the game wasn’t super obvious. I’d add a giant label saying “Find the next campfire” or similar. You also have a few cool mechanics but it’s hard to figure them out within the game.</li>\n<li>it felt a bit slow. Not sure if my laptop is too weak but I think this game could easily run at 60 FPS. There’s probably a few optimization tweaks you can make</li>\n<li>difficulty could be lower at the beginning. Show me a campfire closer so I know where to look, and then I can figure it out for the next one</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Hope you can come back with another kickass shooter next year!</p>\n","games":["SQUAD 13"]},{"typ":2,"at":380493709,"author":"Joep van Duinen","url":"https://poki.com","twitter":"joepvduinen","text":"<p>Very cool and interesting game!
