Very cool entry. Nice graphics, decent music, and a surprisingly large world to explore. Interesting upgrade system.
A few suggestions:
- It's a bit too dark to get around at night. I understand that it's meant to be threatening--and it is--but it's a bit too hard to move. (At least the night is short.)
-Even with the upgrade, the leaf pickup is excruciatingly slow.
-Thematically, leaves seem to be a bit too rare. There are trees everywhere; why so few leaves?
-At first, I was able to pick up apples. Afterwards though, once I had been wounded by a spider, I found that I was unable to pick up apples. Look into whether the condition for pickup might be reversed?..
thank you for checking it out, you make some very good points
Cool game! Loved the mood, music and overall feeling. For me day/night change was too fast and too dark, but game itself was fun.
Spiders are realy scary )
The weapons are meant to be found. You have to explore and click on things and screens will pop up.. In the beginning of the game it gives you an idea of what you have to do. that you have to help out. Jake's friends are not the only ones with unfinished business. A plus on the story and a plus on the design and scene placement!!!
The art is pretty cool. I did feel a little lost about what to do.
Great visuals and mood. On Theme for sure. I liked the concept of rebuilding but I did get a little bit confused how to get a weapon. I collected so many leaves!
Yeah its definitely not polished ;D I should have added a tutorial and make it more accessible for the player. thanks for playing it tho. the weapon is hidden inside a rock you can find in the map (might be way too expensive to unlock tho ;D)
This is soo beautiful! music is so chill! And that spider was so scary!!
Thanks for trying it ;) it needed a lot more work to be good, but its better than my first try making a game ;D

Great game, there is a bug with the staves: I had them from the start and they were supposed to be unlocked afterwards and the one for spider you could not aim (but maybe that's intended).
Visuals are great, and the story is nothing deep but ties up thing nicely. Great work
