Great take on the theme. A very well rounded small game, if I have to nitpick I would say that you get too much time in the second stage, but was able to make time pass faster. Good job!

Great game, I really like the verticality of the concept, also the gameplay is well implemented, and the boat physics worked well ! It was really fun to play and didn't bored me a second !

This was awesome how you made an entire crafting system awesome work!, only thing that could be improved is UI, and how the attacking system works otherwise i loved it!

Submitted(+2)

I like the boat physics!

Some criticism:

  • The UI buttons could use some work
  • The font looks out of place among the pixel graphics
  • The pixel graphics have inconsistent scaling (i.e. the player looks bigger than an individual tile)
  • Pressing W to jump feels weird; maybe that could've been binded to the Space key with the punching key being binded to E.

Good effort, though.

Yes, I have received feedback regarding the controls and the UI. I sure should have payed more attention to the UI, but I was hirrying up. I did the Pass 10 seconds button half an hour before the deadline hahaha. And respect to controls, yes , I hadnt made or played a pc game in probably years and I didnt think well of the usual controls.


thanks for playing!

I liked this. However, needing to use the mouse only when crafting is a bit of an issue. I always put both hand on the keyboard when I need to press more then AWSD because I`m used to console and needing to switch my right hand to the mouse is a bit annoying.

nice game! the controls took a sec to get used to, but it wasn't anything bad. nice game!

The game feels like a mix of Minecraft and Mario—it's fantastic and very successful. Congratulations and good luck!

Submitted(+2)

That's a cute one ! Just be careful with the wizard arena because once the player is in, they can't actually get out and can actually get softlocked if they didn't collect every wood and stones !
But nice game, good work to you ! :D

Developer

Yes, thats deffinitely an issue that I notices but didn't have time to fix. Hopefully not many people get in that situation though, but when the player drowns is restarts outisde the aren. Sorry anyways. Thanks for playing !

Submitted

Don't apologize ! We all had the time limit and didn't have time to fix everything haha
It was more of an observation for improvement rather than a complain :-)

Developer(+1)

Hello, thanks for playing. Unfortunately you only have a windows build, which I can't open. Sorry!

Submitted

Great music for this game concept.  It fit well with the calm theme.  My ship got stuck and I drown, had to restart to build it in a better spot.

Submitted(+1)

Cool game! Loved the concept and art. One thing is that there is a bug where after you revive all the trees you have chopped are gone. Therefore I can't collect any resources so i'm not sure if that's intentional or not.

Developer (1 edit) (+2)

hello! The trees in fact are still gone after you respawn, however, the materials you had and the things you crafted do not dissapear so it shouldnt have an impact 

Thanks for playing !

WOW, man! This is the best game I've seen on this jam! The game design and graphics are so cool! Some comments - the controls are a bit strange, I prefer SPACE for jump and maybe E for inventory, but that doesn't matter, great work!

Developer

Thats so Nice to hear! Thanks for playing :)
