Kindling is my first game! You are the last flame. Snowmen come from every side. Melt them keep your fire going by gathering their remains and last as long as you can.

Kindling is a top-down survival shooter made for MiniJam 221. The theme was staying warm.

Thanks for playing and I am interested to read your feedback or criticism. About 26 years ago I remember playing a top down endless shooter like this and loved it as a teen.
