I really liked it. Carriyng more resources at the same time would be great because walking back and forth made it a little bit tedious. Anyways, the music and sound effects were really good and the pixel art is really cool. Great job!

It would be awesome if you could take a look at my project as well. Any feedback would be fantastic! https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-12/rate/2972711

I think this game is designed really well. I like how the difficulty ramps in tact with mechanics being introduced. Also, it has the perfect length - when I though I didn't wanna play anymore, the game ended. My only criticisms are that its a little slow paced, and maybe if you only had to collect 3 stones when they are introduced, it would be slightly less tedious. Otherwise, I liked it! Gorgeous artwork

Appreciate the feedback! We will take everything into consideration when we turn the game into its own little title :)

This game really feels finished, very nice! I also love the elevator music soundtrack 😁

Developer

Thankyou! Done by our one and only October https://october-stereo.itch.io/

A really well made game. Really well polished, cute graphics and cozy vibe from the ost in background. I really liked the supplies running dry on the third day. The only thing lacking I would say was actual challenge as even on third day I had over half of the time left and I didn't really need to go out of my way to find food and water. Otherwise really good job.

Hey thankyou for the review! Its actually randomly generated with a small % for berry bushes and ponds so id say you got incredibly lucky :)

Very good, well made game, while you are trying to get enough logs you need to stay live as well, the game can be enhanced a lot further from here, it has a great potential. I really liked the systems. Can be added: Sprinting, backpack crafting

Here is my submission if anyone wants to check: https://abdullahsevin.itch.io/allican

This is a nice relaxing game that perfectly encapsulates the theme. Nice music and art. The skip time button is really nice.

Developer

Some people can chop down a whole forest quickly so we felt the need to reward those people with a timeskip.
Thankyou for playing our demo!

The most adorable deforestation simulator ever.

Developer

I KNOW RIGHT! Maybe we'll add some replanting somewhere along the line, we are potentially going to turn it into a full game

Love the vibes, love the artstyle and LOVE the song!

Great game, really makes good use of the theme

Developer

It does not compare to your amazing pixel art but thank you for that positive feedback!

Submitted(+1)

It absolutely does! Especially during the little cutscenes, the sea is super well drawn

Submitted(+1)

I had a lot of fun playing through Silent Habor! The theming was really great and the polish was amazing! I also thought it was quite balanced as that last day I was really searching for my last berry bush! Awesome job!

Developer

Thank you! Im glad you enjoyed it, we spent a lot of time polishing it until the timer ran out!

Really cool little chill game! Love the way the collect and build systems are really reduced to their most minimalist to keep everything easy and simple.  Art sound and overall vibe is also very nice and works really well with the gameplay.

Developer

A fox that talks! Haha thank you, we hope you enjoyed it, and managed to get to the last night :)

Lovely calm little game. I really like the art style, especially of the "cutscenes" - the night and endgame backdrops are gorgeous.

The game also feels very polished. No bugs, except some weird restart I had after the first night.

Who knew lighthouse keepers had also to be lumberjacks, stonemasons, hikers, foragers and uh... puddle drinkers? Man, those guys don't have it easy. But they're so hardcore that they can deforest entire island chains in days! :D

Developer

Thankyou and of course, the resume needs to be long and arduous to become one of the great Keepers!

Appreciate the positive feedback :)

Submitted(+1)

I love how polished the game feels! The interaction with the world is incredibly smooth. I also appreciate the challenge of having to remember the path back to the lighthouse—it adds a nice layer of difficulty. Overall, it's a really nice game!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the positive feedback. We spent a lot of sleepless night fixing and polishing and were really glad you enjoyed our little contribution :)
