Game is nice, but tutorial in the game would be useful instead of reading everything in the description. The UI could use some work. Mechanics are great. When I figured out how everything works, the game was fun!

How does you game fit the theme?
You are alone for most of the time whilst collecting resources, but the test for survival occurs at night, where you will not be so alone anymore.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Mostly. Little parts of code were made by Googling online, and A* Pathfinding is used. The assets are basic, but fit nicely.
Comments
the controls feel very nice, for some reason the way you use the tools kinda reminds me of getting over it xd, the sprites mostly look fine but just a bit of detail would be appreciated to understand what the object really is, also i wish the ui was slightly less cluttered but nevertheless it is a good entry and in the end it is pretty fun
The UI could be worked on because it felt really messy. But I liked it. Usually survival games are 3d so this is a nice twist. rated.
I had hard time diving into the game so I may not have full expirience but I wasn't fun of things moving when gathering. Also UI is really messy, I don't mean graphics but more the placement of them. Making more space would make players be more aware what's going on and what option do they have, what belongs where and so on.
Really good game, but I must repeat what others have said: you have to put at least some description, a few lines, just basic instruction. I was about to quit trying, but found useful comment. Otherwise, I am amazed what you have put together here in just a week! It has grat mechanics and works almost perfectly. Great game!
Well, first of all, I wasnt able to realise what is UI and what is game world. Then, I try thad red scuare bottom right, and was teleported or pushed, then, colliders were mystery to me, I could go trough wals, got stucked a lot, had to restart because of that.
But I really appreciate your efort and I think this needs just a bit of polishing.
Great game but the art kinda makes me feel bad for some great mechanic.
I like the idea and concept of the game
I'm a fan of survival games.
I think the UI needs some work and a better explanation of the objective/idea of the game (in-game)
I also think with some art enhancements and some extra polish here and there this would be fun.
Using tools with the mouse although a bit finicky makes for a unique playstyle.
nice job!
Game felt nice to play, the resource collecting was done well and felt enjoyable. I was a bit stuck on how to craft but after reading some of the other comments I got the hang of it pretty quicky! would be to see some tutorial implementation if you continue development! good job
Mining and interacting with the environment was fun, but the objective was kinda vague, I thought I could build something with the materials I collected but for some reason, I didn't manage to do that.
I think this game has a cool concept but needs some refinements.
still, good job!
An interesting prototype. I liked the minimalistic graphics, but the game needs a little refinement.
This game reminds me of those .io games, which i used to play during computer class at school. Was confused on what to do at first since there wasn't any tutorials (well there was instructions if i scroll down the itch.io page). I'm not a good artist as well so if i was in your position i would use basic shapes too. Good job though!
Great work, a little more guidance in the game itself would probably be all it needs to bring it to the next level.
The mining was pretty fun, I ended up mining almost everything, wasn’t too sure what to do after that, great job!
I see an inspiration from Minecraft in this game. It's pretty fun to chop down trees by swingging the axe around ! Well done !
