How does your game fit the theme?
The game is divided into two phases: the preparation phase and the storm phase.
The preparation phase is the calm, where the player mines and trades to prepare; before the storm comes and chaos happens.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes (with some help from zapsplat.com for a few sound effects)

Love the idea, looks very polished, and I can see it working very well as a mobile game. Well done!
Really cool game, really polished for a game jam, well done !!!
Wow this is such a good concept i hope you keep expanding it, you can really tell this game took a lot of work and amazing job! The music is great. If i had a few issues it would be the fire sound not being changed by the sfx slider and the "calm" period could be a tad bit longer. Otherwise Amazing entry!
Thank you so much! And I really appreciate the feedback, I hadn't noticed the torch thing before now so that's fixed internally, sorry about that! And I definitely want to play around with the length of the calm period if I update the game
This game is litterally SO GOOD. I have no comments, except for maybe more health? I died quikly every time i played. But it's just a suggestion. PS can you review my game too, and maybe leave a comment? I'm 13 and would really appreciate it.
Hey thank you for the kind words! You can get more health by trading a few resources, but it's very possible that the initial health is too low, I appreciate the feedback!
I'll absolutely review your game
I hope you win the jam
The best game I've seen on this jam so far. The gameplay is great, sound effects are awesome, the music is absolute banger and I love the graphics. Overall beautiful and fun game! Soooo When will it release on steam? :DD
Ahah you guys are amazing, thank you for the kind words! I dunno about Steam, but if the game places well I don't see why not!
Looking forward to the full release on Steam.
Hey ! I had a great time playing your game, it's really satisfying to improve your shelter times after times. The only issue I found is around the game balance which I found pretty hard scaled (around the Day 6 where planets arrives to crush you damn mole body) Aside from that, that was really really fun !
Probably one of the best games i've played in this jam. Nearly everything in this is polished to perfection, and I refuse to believe this was made in a single week. I LOVE the pixel art and animations on the game (especially the mole), and the amount of juice in this game is immaculate. The gameplay is very easy to understand and get the hang of, too.
Honestly i would pay a solid $10 for this if it was released on Steam (pls make a full release)
P.S. i also noticed that when you're holding the pickaxe, the sprite bugs out and you suddenly have three arms ;)
Great work, blasting away with the gun is fun, cool ideas with the items like the berries.
Wow! Great game! I followed you cause I hope you will develop this game more. The game is awesome!!! I love it <3. I hope you will add linux build because it is perfect to play in journey but my laptop for jouneys has linux (debian) sysyem... I would be glad if you add linux build. Good luck with your future projects!
Thank you so much! Man, I'm sorry I didn't get a Linux build in time, I hope I could add one right now but I'm afraid that's gonna have to wait until the end of the jam.
If the game does well and people want more, I'll definitely keep working on it! I have some plans for fun updates :)
Super awesome work! I wish I spawned with more of those healing berry blocks around me, I got wiped out way faster than I would've liked but I'll definitely play this again later today.
Thank you! And yeah, I could have balanced the berry bushes better.
The thing is, since you can plant the saplings and essentially grow more and more of them, I was afraid spawning them too often around the player would make them completely op.
If you happen to give it another try, try to plant the saplings around you and let me know if it grows out of control or not ahah.
I'm gonna try to monitor it really closely, thank you so much for the feedback!
What an amazing game. I had a lot of fun playing this and it feels so polished for a game jam game too! Love the use of music to indicate the incoming storm.
I The game feels polished, and it's impressive how much content and gameplay variety you've packed in. Keep up the amazing work—there's so much potential here!
Incredible for a one week project!
Really nice feedback when shooting! I like it!
Fun game and addictive. I got to day 10. Best smg. Really amazing game.
Fun game, all of the systems were so fun to interact with and I enjoyed the music so much!
Incredible game, cannot believe you made this in a week. The execution of the theme is very well done (the calm isn't boring), it looks great, and is just super fun in general.
This game is who I want to be when I grow up (I am grown up and I am not this game and I am distraught)
One of the best games I've played on Itchio in general. I can't wrap my head around the fact that it was made in a week. The art and presentation are gorgeous, the music slaps, and the game is so fun. If this doesn't win at least one category, I will riot.
