Really good and it is fun! I like that it is randomized and you can play it multiple times and I also like the music! Nice game!

The concept of the game has been very good and different from other games in the JAM. The art is perfectly done for what the game aims to convey. And the music is the best i listened in this JAM; it really moved me. Is it available for download or on any platform? Cheers and congratulations!
Good idea for the theme, nice graphics, it's very cute, great work.
I would appreciate it if you could take a look at mine.
Great concept. Cool art and sound effects. Was a little unforgiving but I think it's because I didn't prioritize things correctly from the start. Either way I really dug what you were going for. Great work! Congrats and good luck!
What a great concept. I like that it takes the survival concept but forces you to push forward, but is also somewhat in the form of a puzzle.
One problem that I did have was the UI sizing. When I was in windowed mode, I couldn't see the UI and when I was in fullscreen, the UI was cut off, so I was kind of guessing at what I was clicking on.
Regardless, I did reach the end in 24 steps after retrying once, and kind of wished there was a 2nd stage. The art was nice and charming. the music fit the overall aesthetic well and the sounds were spot on.
The idea behind the game is really cool! There is a lot of strategy, even with such a simple concept, and the art and music complement it very well. The random generation is also really awesome! My only thought is: it takes a surprising amount of time to actually move the mouse back and forth between the UI buttons at the bottom, the character, and the end turn button. Additionally, since turns almost always include one movement and one action (or one movement, with no valid options left), the end turn button may not be necessary. That's a really minor thing, though, since it would be solved by having some keyboard / controller shortcuts anyways.
Fantastic work on the project, and thank you for reviewing my game as well!
The turn based mechanics are really cool in this. I didn't even need the tutorial but it's good you have one there as I think it's better to have it for this kind of game. It's really well made and in my opinion very intuitive. The mechanic seems to work well without any bugs, and the concept with the storm clouds coming in with the grid is really cool. Nice job on the game!
With the exception of the UI being buggy in full screen, not a bad submission by one person. Well done!
Really nice game, specially that it was made by one person. I have a small problem with the screen even on full screen as it was still not showing all the menu but I was able to solve it by reducing the zoom level on my screen. One thing that could be added is make the UI to scale with screen. But I had great fun. love the art too.
Congrats on your submission, this is incredible work esp for a solo dev! Simple but really fun! The art is really cute and fits well with the game.
Cool game. Enjoyed it a lot although there didn't seem to really be a use for shelter as I have waisted three wood on it only to not do anything and eat through all my food while the storm was as strong as in the beginning and in the end I just rushed for wood, bridge and to the flag while dodging the storm. Maybe I had a weird luck for generation but otherwise really nice game.
Great game! It did feel a bit repetitive having to click to end turn after all the options were used up, but overall it was really fun!
I really liked playing it! It has very fun and addicting gameplay. The art and music is great also!
If you plan to do more work on this already awesome game, keyboard movement and action key binds (like 1-4) would be a very welcome addition. Thanks for the fun!
