Cool game! Loved the art style and sound is really solid. Quick note, you don't want to just slap a wall of text to the player for a tutorial. It's a bit lengthy, so I would recommend maybe a little tutorial in-game but just something other than a page of text. Great game though and the mechanics were awesome. :D

Developer(+1)

I'm glad you liked! I will try to improve the tutorial as you say in future updates :)

Very fun game with a very unique mechanic. Couple things id recommend, adding a controls section to your itch page, can help players find useful keybinds, and also adding an indicators as to whether or not you will die this turn (either by storm or by hunger) because it can be a bit unpredictable at times.

Developer

This may be my favorite game from the jam yet. The concept and gameplay is very simple but engaging, I was hooked up. The art and the UI works perfectly with the game. Just a couple things to point out: I think there is a bug with the storm checking, I stayed in the storm without refugee and didn't lose. Also, it would be nice to know exactly how many turns I have until starve I think. Great work!

Edit: creo que he escrito todo esto en inglés habiéndome dejado tú un comentario en español en mi juego jsjsjsj

Developer(+1)

Me alegra que te haya gustado!! (and yes, I speak Spanishh) Me di cuenta de lo del bug de la tormenta después de la fecha de entrega y por lo tanto no pude cambiarlo (creo que pasa cuando sales de un refugio, aunque no estoy del todo seguro), pero bueno muchas gracias por los haber jugado y gracias por los comentarios constructivos!!

Very interesting game and a lot of fun. I could see this getting expanded into something really great! Amazing submission!

Submitted(+1)

The main menu is beautiful as always and the animations adds to the touch, a sweet little game! Congrats :)

Developer

Yeah, I wanted to give it a cozy and beautiful touch, glad I managed to make it in time. Thanks for playing :)

A super nice game and has a nice potential for expansion.  Simple and straightforward, with nice tutorial :)

Suggestion: "Harvest" and "Chop" could be a single button called "Forage".

Developer(+1)

I would have that suggestion in mind (for latest updates out of the jam of course). I'm glad you enjoyed it !!

Submitted(+1)

escaped in 36 turns, had to try a few times as at first i could not get to harvest before i starved

Developer

That's pretty good, yeah sometimes the bushes with food are very far away, that's the main problem of doing a random spawn of objects, but I'm glad you finished it anyway!!

Wonderfully designed! Took me a couple tries, but I got really invested after all. Had to force myself to stop playing. Not sure I won't go back right away :)

Developer

I'm glad you got hooked on the game!

Game is challenging but fun! Took me a while to get the hang of it, but the strategic element really stood out and made me keep playing.

Developer

Thumbs up for putting a detailled tutorial, that really helps grasp the gameplay! The game is simple yet challenging, the management of resources is very unforgiving (which may be good or not depending on the player :D ). I could not win after a few tries but I'll try again probably. Good job!

Developer

Thank you very much for playing the game! I will play yours as well :
