A cozy browser game asks you to build, light, observe, and maintain a campfire using logs, kindling, wind, rain, and simple tactile controls.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-11 issue.

Field notes

The game models each log separately, including moisture and exposure to heat, oxygen, wind, and rain, while letting the player change the pile and viewpoint during play. Its technical notes describe a hand-built 2D canvas renderer with camera projection, depth sorting, flame particles, and 240 physics substeps per second. The page also says the wood, paper, sounds, and sky are computed when it opens rather than loaded as game assets.
