Very cute art and sfx. Liked the idea and overall implementation.
Gorgeous menu. The idea is interesting. It reminds me Into The Breach in some ways.

Some feedback:
- I would like to have a way to predict where shorm will go
- Also, there is not enough mechanics to prevent player from making silly mistakes (like, going into storm, or chop a tree instead of eating food)
- Maybe there is a balance issue, maybe it's progression. But it seems a little bit harsh at the beginning.

Had some fun playing it. Glad you've submitted such gem to a jam :)

Developer

I already tried ur game, very impressive, i like the concept and graphic so much. Now it's ur turn to try & vote us. Thank u

Developer

Thank you very much!! Hoping to see what your game is about :)

I think the game needs a little bit more balancing but overall I like turn based games so it was nice! Good job! 

Developer

Yeah, some mechanics are a bit punishing i will try to fix it in later updates, thanks for playing!

It fits the theme! Maybe you can improve the gameplay controls and actions!

Really nice and polished game. The visuals are so nice and easy to catch. Best of luck.

Developer

Thanks!!

It is calm and cozy. Music is relaxing and very cute art-style. I think it's a very nice game. Only negatives I have is that it was a bit hard to see initially where I could move. Clicked around a bit and then saw a green tint on the surrounding tiles.

Developer

In future I will try to improve that or specify better how movement works in the tutorial. Glad you liked the game :)

Great game! I was not able to move the character

Developer

You can only move to the adjacent cells from your position, then end the turn (space or click big button on the right) and you would be able to move again

Submitted(+1)

Art and Audio is good. Game design is very tight and I like it. It would be better to add a little bit of omp when moving or taking an action. I think if you add that it will make more gamey feel to it and more fun.

Developer

Thanks, I will have that in mind!!

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

Okk, thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it !

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!

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 :)
