How does your game fit the theme?
The game is about a hiker running away from a storm, overcoming obstacles he encounters on his way.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
We made everything ourselves, except for the skybox (from the AllSkyFree package on Unity), the sounds (from Pixabay) and the Font (AppleStorm by KineticPlasma Fonts).

Hee-ho. Super good game. Very cool visual and gameplay. Thanks for nice experience
The art in this game is great; I liked the presentation of the story, which shows what the game is about and what you need to do in a very interesting way. The gameplay is fun; I died many times and saw the different images of the character's deaths, which look great too! Great details in this game!
It feels a lot like Don't Starve! Cool
Absolutely boss! I...wanna play more. Like a 7 days to die or a minecraft(but with a story) or something. It feels a lot like dont starve but with less complication. I would seriously pay if this were expanded into a solid full-length game! Super awesome.
Wow, thanks a lot! Don't Starve was definitely a major inspiration for the artstyle. Maybe we'll expand it into a full game at some point ;)
Well done on your entry! :)
I really enjoyed the feeling of figuring out what items I needed to progress to each area.
Felt like a puzzle game in that sense.
I like the art style and think its implemented really well! Good job on the cutscenes too!
I think a little more attention to sound design could really enhance the overall experience.
Overall a really great job, well done! :D
Thank you for the praises!
We loved making the puzzle as well (so we made it to hard at first but letting others played made us realise)
The sound was more of a last minute idea so we didn't really have time to think about it much. Next time we will try to do better!
This game has a unique art style. At first I didn't know what to do and died a lot of times but I eventualy figured it out.
You have to thank our artist for the drawings, he's great!
About the dying, that's kinda meant to happen...
The more you play the more you'll know the further you'll get!
Love the art style, and the intro is great! I think I found the easiest path on the first try so it was over pretty fast, but it was fun.
Thank you for liking the intro, sadly we didn't have time to include an outro.
If you made it in the first try I hope you played again to find another way or see the death animations?
Enjoyed the game a lot! The animation are verry creative. The art style makes it a wonderfull experience to look at and it's pretty unique. It's fun to see that there are a lot of ways to reach the top! Looking forward to see what else you all will make :)
Love to hear that you enjoyed the game.
Did you find all the ways to reach the top?
If you mix them a bit there are around 5 or 6 ways to reach the top!
2 past the woods and 2 past the mountains but by doing it another way you can get even more solutions
Your game look so cute and I had fun playing it. Please keep continue making this cool stuff <3
Thank you for liking our game, we will definitely make more games alter on. If you wanne try the other games we made feel free to do so. The diving game we made was for Brackeys from last year!
Neat game.
Well done overall!
Thanks a lot for the in-depth feedback! Really glad you enjoyed the game :)
You're supposed to die a few times before reaching the exit. We should have made this a bit clearer to the player somehow though, to make them feel like they were still doing a good job. You're also right about not being able to skip the intro, if we had more time we definitely would have implemented that.
I added a small disclaimer for the deaths on the itch page, nothing big but i hope it helps people, thank you for the feedback.
Nice gameplay and the visual style is really unique, cool and looks great. Liked th different items and how they affected how you interacted with the environment depending if you had them or not. Even one where holding nothing at all was beneficial. I thought this was really well made and excellent job on this!
Thank you for playing our game.
We loved finding ways to give the player more options to reach the end and finding ways to put them together.
This game has a really cute art style and despite being short, its gameplay goes deep.
I personally really enjoyed the cutscenes and found them really fun and charming (which is why I gave you 5 stars for graphic).
I think the gameplay is a tiny bit bare, but is a seed for what could be a really neat idea involving backtracking to get your tools and having more obstacles on the way.
I also managed to fall of the cliff lol
We decided to not make it too long because we wanted everyone to be able to finish it
At first the game was more difficult but when letting other people play we noticed we were making it difficult for ourselves instead of other people so we made it a bit easier.
Making a shorter game also helped us making it function well, quality over quantity.
Thank you for the 5 stars though!!
This is a very nice looking game, I love the little cutscene. It is a shame that i never got past the snake guarding the pickaxe!
You don't necessarily need it, the tips in the death menu are supposed to help you finish the game, they can explain almost the whole game!
If you didn't reach the end yet I hope you can some other time
Really nice game! The gameplay is smooth and I love the art style
Hope you enjoyed playing it as well
wow i love the artstyle of the 2d sprites in a 3d world. You hooked me to play the game over and over again until i beat it! I never needed the axe though lol. If i had to separate one best part, it would be the death animations. i almost wanted to try and die in every possible way to see the animation xd
Love your reaction about the deaths, if I am counting correctly there are 8 ways to die but 2 share the animation so 7 animations.
The axe is indeed nit NEEDED but that is because there are multiple ways to get to the top so you also don't NEED any of the other tools because there are 2 ways to pass the forest and 2 ways to pass the mountains.
Really nice game and I love the art! Was a bit difficult to figure out all the things you need to do to but that's part of the fun :D
Thank you for liking our game, we really enjoyed making it.
Did you find all the ways to get to the top? If you mix them there are 5 or 6 different ways to get to the top but there are 2 ways past the forest and 2 ways past the mountains.
Oh wow, no I definitely didn't find them all! That must have been a lot of work. I'll try to find them :D
Super cute game, the art is amazing and it works really well! I think I accidentally solved the game without really doing much and would've loved for it to be a bit of a harder puzzle. But it's a really nice concept
Thank you for liking our game.
We did originally make it a decent bit harder but then we found it being to hard for people who were not part of our team so we made it a bit easier so more people can play.
