The Last Blaze
SUMMARY
Defend your campfire from ice monsters by throwing snowballs at them and fuel it with wood to stop it from going out. Build walls and turrets to stop the monsters from dousing your fire. Your survival depends on the heat!
CONTROLS
Move around with WASD or the arrow keys
Aim by moving the mouse
Left click and hold to charge up a snowball. Aim and throw snowballs at enemies. A bigger snowball does much more damage but travels a lot slower.
Place a structure with the right mouse button and cycle structures with the scroll wheel
Use Wall and Turret structures to defend your campfire. Walls cost 3 wood and Turrets cost 2 wood.
Your survival depends on the campfire - If it goes out, you lose. You can respawn as long as your campfire burns (you will lose all the wood you are holding, though)
Move near the campfire to regain health
Watch out - occasionally a super powerful Boss will appear. Make sure you have built sufficient defenses before then.
Pickup wood by walking over it, and move near the fire to deposit it.
PERFORMANCE
If you are experiencing a slow frame rate (game is choppy) you can toggle Fast Mode in the main menu to make your game run much faster with the trade off of being much less pretty.

Made in 1 week as a Christmas present to my awesome family.

This likely won't work on new Macs such as mac Catalina in particular. For downloading from a browser: Because I am not a verified publisher, your Mac probably doesn't trust me. Depending on your browser, you may get the message “For(Person Name)" is not commonly downloaded and may be dangerous”. If you get this message, click on the dropdown menu and choose “Keep”. In your Finder search your downloads for the unzipped file titled “For(Person Name)" and the app “For(Person Name)". Hold down the Control key and Click “For(Person Name)". A message will pop up saying this is “from an unidentified developer. Are you sure you want to open it?” Dont worry - you can trust me! So click “Open” to start the game.
