About the Game

Gather logs, feed them to the flame, and grow stronger.

You start with a basic axe chop and grow into a destructive, fire-fueled force. Unlock greater speed, heavier swings, multiple fire abilities, and stronger rewards as you push deeper into the woods and harvest rarer materials.

The darkness limits how far you can go. Your lantern burns fuel over time, and upgrading it lets you stay out longer, push deeper into the forest, and bring back more valuable resources. 

Burn logs in the bonfire to convert them into upgrade materials.

Use your upgrade materials to become stronger. 

Unleash your power. 

Even transform into a fireball.
