Just wanted to know if you could balance some of the pink augments, because as far as I'm concerned, the blue fire and burst augments suck. Maybe change the blue fire so that it ignores armor or something (would balance the measly extra 50 damage late game) and maybe change the burst to 5 shots every 50 fireballs or keep it the same, but they have an explosive AoE when they hit the ground. (Idk maybe like the size of the lava puddle or smth.)
Just noticed that because they are essentially doodoo compared to statik and life steal.
Anyway, I'm not a game dev and am stupid and shit so this probably doesn't matter and stuff.
TL;DR: Blue fire and burst are stinky, made me sad when I looked at the lack of how helpful they are.
ahaha the game is still in need of some balancing. I will try to improve the blue flame and burst shot base effect to not have such a difficult early game. As for the blue flame late-game, I'm gonna try to buff it a bit when the meta-progression/skill tree update comes out.
I have an idea for the full release,(or updated version) maybe the flame guys facial expressions could change, like more damage = angrier face, more health = happier face, random upgrades = confused face, or maybe something like that.
Super fun game, but I just lost on wave 89 with a great setup. I lost because for almost 30 seconds straight I couldn't land a single shot on 1 mob that came from underneath me.
Well yes, when you pick the “+2 random silver augments” you can get any silver augment, including another “+2 random silver augments”. That was what happened in your case. Theoretically you can get an infinite amount of augments out of the +2 silvers (with an unrealistic amount of luck ofc)
I'm pretty sure it does, at least no one has ever complained about it. The thing is that the base stat of the multicast ability is only a 10% chance, you have to upgrade it from there. You can check the effects tab to see more.
Great game but needs some balancing. For example we can redraw all 3 cards, if we could redraw only 1 card it would be more suitable. And random 3 cards are little bit too op. Also we need a pause button to check our augments etc.
Redrawing the 3 cards will be better in the future when even more augments exist. I want to give the player a bit of freedom when choosing their build. It would be frustrating not getting the cards that you need just because one was unlucky
i'm absurdly in love with this game ! even though it seems like a simple concept, to be a cute campfire and survive, the mechanics are so interesting and every time you lose you have this feeling of wanting to learn more about the game so that you can survive longer
If you're looking for a "bad thing" in the game perhaps the only thing you can "complain" about is the art simplicity, but I myself think it gives the game a specific charm,but if you still want some options, I think the game would look very nice if it was pixelated! but I still love how cute and fun everything is
I also really liked the artistic reference to the TFT Augments! It's a light art for the eyes and the colors help you understand the importance and strength of each item you choose, so you can easily play the game without a tutorial
it would be a lot of fun if in the future there could be a quick cutscene to give context when you start the game (maybe some more characters idk?) and some soundtrack (which I personally think would be a challenge to find a music that didn't end up becoming tiresome after a while)
I highly recommend it for people who like strategy games and want something simple to distract their minds after a tiring day, i will definitely play more and look forward to the next updates
Not really and tbh I'm not thinking of making a punishment for that. There will eventually be a lot of upgrades and I want the player to have a bit of freedom when choosing its build
So yeah, the double/triple random, are VERY powerful early on. Just DONT expand the options for a few times (as it increases what the randoms can hit)
You want accuracy at 60 or higher ASAP, with a good mix of aspd too.
Once you get that, static is the next big thing (this is MASSIVE later on, so get it early) Then try to get leech (and NEVER get heal ups, unless it comes with a max HP upgrade)
IGNORE BASE DMG ENTIRELY (static will VASTLY overpower it)
personally i feel like a upgrade on flame size would be nice as it creates a more interesting method of playing purely with base flame upgrades, or a boss could be added that spawns enemies to swarm the player, just a though while playing
I'm playing on the web version, (so idk if this is o the download) but maybe add a little thing in the corner or in a menu or something that tells the player there stats
I just posted a comment about the hit bug miss thing. That being said, if you download the game and play it that way, there is literally 0 way to quit or return to main menu. You have to alt f-4 out of it.
Apart from fixing bugs, do you plan new content? I recently reached round 500 because once you get to 60 every single round is exactly the same and I scale faster than enemies do so I just got an autoclicker clicking the first upgrade and I got into the point where I barely saw enemies. It was fun to see the fire with every single upgrade but it lost the meaning knowing I've been fighting the same enemies for over 400 rounds. It's fun.
Yes there is going to be more content. I plan on implementing meta progression like a skill tree or something similar. And of course more augments and enemy types. I want the game to have around 10 hours gameplay
ok, yeah, there is a big issue with attacks not registering, I started a new run and my attacks are very accurate but not fast at all, and some attacks are still not regstering
This 100% occurs even in the downloaded Windows version. My best guess is once you get past 8-9 bullet speed some projectiles don't count as landing. And its a lot more egregious once you reach 20 bullet speed.
For example, the fast red worm stages, you need enough bullet speed to hit the ones on the top half of the map, but regardless of your bullet speed any red worms that spawn on the bottom half you will endlessly miss. The red worm stages are by far the most dangerous levels especially considering the miss bug.
If you don't have Orbital Flames and/or the bouncing lightning attack, the red worms that spawn from the bottom will hit you regardless, a number of times. The adds that spawn from the bottom should move slower (if thats even possible to make happen) since its so much closer to your flame and hitting things in general when they are the bottom is where a lot of the hit issues occur.

(Nothing to do with the discord BTW)

My new best
could you add a pause button? whenever i go out of focus i lose
I guess I can add one in the next update

This is kinda....hot ngl... ;) (haha get it? ha....)
officially become un beatable at 457 and nothing can even reach me
this is so cool!
I selected for 2 random silver augments and got 3? is this on purpose? (Round 1)
Well yes, when you pick the “+2 random silver augments” you can get any silver augment, including another “+2 random silver augments”. That was what happened in your case. Theoretically you can get an infinite amount of augments out of the +2 silvers (with an unrealistic amount of luck ofc)
DAMN IT the fact the game dont run properly when not in focus just ruined the perfect run
i was un touchable and at level 123
does multicast work?
I'm pretty sure it does, at least no one has ever complained about it. The thing is that the base stat of the multicast ability is only a 10% chance, you have to upgrade it from there. You can check the effects tab to see more.
thx
I got to round 43
Which button resets the game??
Also can you give an option to disable or change it??
Because SOME PEOPLE keep randomly pressing it while I'm playing.
Since the game is still in development I didn't add a proper reset button. However, you can always reset your run by pressing "k"
haha attack speed go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Great game but needs some balancing. For example we can redraw all 3 cards, if we could redraw only 1 card it would be more suitable. And random 3 cards are little bit too op. Also we need a pause button to check our augments etc.
try pressing idk, the menu button?
Unfortunately the menu button does not stop the game.
skill issue
Redrawing the 3 cards will be better in the future when even more augments exist. I want to give the player a bit of freedom when choosing their build. It would be frustrating not getting the cards that you need just because one was unlucky
really solid game! the only thing i would wanna change is to add a soundtrack and sound aswell as support for ultrawide monitors.
Lava pools are so busted rn
Glad you enjoyed it man!
Love the game! (Tho the leaching ability it totally busted)

Thanks for the feedback feels great to hear this!
I loved the game haha
Is it possible to add an option to turn off screen shaking? It gives me eye strain.
Thanks for playing! Yes I will add the option in the future, it will be on the settings tab (the one that is currently disabled)
is there suposesd to be sound?
Nop not yet, it's something to do in the future
Is there any punishment to refreshing upgrades?
Not really and tbh I'm not thinking of making a punishment for that. There will eventually be a lot of upgrades and I want the player to have a bit of freedom when choosing its build
This is so fun I'm really enjoying high attack speed builds for a more crowd control version of glass cannon
brown worms are to fast i suggest reducing their speed by about 10%
get electric and lifesteal, you can heal faster than they can attack
cool game
===============
some things to fix:
- rounding problems on some effect % values (59.999999%)
- getting both armor piercing upgrades gives the enemies armor back (?)
- sometimes enemies ignored the freeze effect and kept moving at normal speed with the frozen sprite
===============
other suggestions:
- add an upgrade autobuyer so people don't have to leave the game running with an autoclicker
- maybe add an option to disable damage text? should help a bit with lategame performance
and my suggestion: sandbox mode
Wildfire Gameplay
guys, how many rounds have you survived the most? i have 24
[edit] 29
2737
ridiculous
So yeah, the double/triple random, are VERY powerful early on. Just DONT expand the options for a few times (as it increases what the randoms can hit)

IGNORE BASE DMG ENTIRELY (static will VASTLY overpower it)
Blue flame, is also a joke.
A voluntary restart button would be really helpful for grinding for those triple digit runs
Damn that's crazy, at least it didn't crash on you
left it on overnight, had to force it to end or else it would have never ended
personally i feel like a upgrade on flame size would be nice as it creates a more interesting method of playing purely with base flame upgrades, or a boss could be added that spawns enemies to swarm the player, just a though while playing
I'm playing on the web version, (so idk if this is o the download) but maybe add a little thing in the corner or in a menu or something that tells the player there stats
Also maybe add some sort of free-play mode where you can just pick a tone of upgrades then play.
Isn't it there already? Or do you mean the final stats?
I think he means the total of the upgrades you chose
I meant like creative in minecraft, where you can just pick all the upgrades then play and just be overpowered.
But regarding the menu thingy. There is already a menu that lets you see the stats
Ya lol, I just realized...
I just posted a comment about the hit bug miss thing. That being said, if you download the game and play it that way, there is literally 0 way to quit or return to main menu. You have to alt f-4 out of it.
I know that there is no indication but you can press K to end the game whenever you want. This is just a provisory measure
Apart from fixing bugs, do you plan new content?

ok, yeah, there is a big issue with attacks not registering, I started a new run and my attacks are very accurate but not fast at all, and some attacks are still not regstering
My attacks were so fast barely any of them were registering and I died
this seems like a problem in the new version. Can I ask what platform were you playing in? Windows, Android, HTML?
Browser, so I think HTML?
This seems like a recurring error for the HTML players. Im gonna try to solve this but try and see if this happens on the windows version as well
This 100% occurs even in the downloaded Windows version. My best guess is once you get past 8-9 bullet speed some projectiles don't count as landing. And its a lot more egregious once you reach 20 bullet speed.

Dude, if the game saved on Android after you closed it so yu can continue the run later that'd be fire. With that in mind 9/10 🤙
That is definitely doable, Im gonna keep that in mind
Thanks!!
