This game is a submission for Ludum Dare 56. View all gamesView submission

A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Explore, build and expand in this god game of tiny proportions! Find the resources you need to set up settlements and upgrade your fire until it becomes the Sun!

This game was made entirely in 72 hours for Ludum Dare #56! The soundtrack was made by Pentadrangle, the cover artwork on this page was made by Julia Godrie! Everything else was made by Rémy Devaux!

Benjamin also made another game for this same Ludum Dare, with even more music from Pentadrangle! Check out Combo Critters here!

⚠️ Hold click on the very first fire nest, or the game will crash! ⚠️

You need to hold click for actions to go through. This is true for the whole game, but it only crashes for that very first fire, and I couldn't figure out how to fix it for this jam version, so please just hold click there at the beginning! Thanks!!

We're definitely going to keep working on this one, so you may also consider this version as a very early demo! 🙂

Very cute game :) I might have run into a bug. I collected 3 coal, but when I went to use them, only one guy ever came. And I looked around and couldn't find the other 2 anywher

Looks really cool! Hope you'll consider publishing web versions of your games
