I like the art for the game, the snake is pretty cool.

The field of view is rather small in my opinion, so it feels like you are just aimlessly exploring until you figure out where the different biomes are.  It might help to have a way to either navigate home or teleport home because after aimlessly exploring it can be difficult to find your way home again.

Thanks for the game.

I'm aiming to get through at least half of the games by the end of voting, at least 35 more to go.  At least 1 of the guys on here has played everyone's game, and commemted on most of them.  I don't have the time for that but will try to get through as many as I can.

Developer

That's nice! I'm mildly on my way too, I've rated only 70 games so far though

I love the visuals of the game. It is great that you have only some hints for the correct items and you have to use some logic to figure out what to collect.

From what could be improved: It is pretty easy to get lost, some arrow ainimg home would be handy. The controls for item management felt a little complicated. I was also missing any sounds.

Overall very good job!

Developer

Thanks for trying it out! A map and more was originally planned but had to be cut short for time... Hope you had fun either way!

Thanks for trying! Hope it was nice

This game has potential, please keep developing it. :)

You could maybe add some potions to give you a buff when searching like farther sight or movementspeed. Maybe some Upgrades to the number of items you can carry or craft into a potion. Also some more bioms, some music and some npc.

You could make a great story where you are poisoned by an evil witch and need to cure the poison within more time on hand but make the poison more potent by making it give more debuffs the longer it is active. Maybe the snake (very cute sprite btw) has learned poison from a good witch and need help curing her too.

There are so many ideas and directions you could go. :D

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, I don't really think ill further expand on it cause it was a result of my first jam so its messy, but i'm glad to hear you liked the concept!

Cool game! The animations are awesome. I kinda wish I could teleport ‘cause I got lost a few times trying to find that tree stump!

Developer

Lol thanks for giving the game a play! Hope you liked the visuals at least :p

These visuals are the best I've seen in this game jam so far! Did you make these all in 7 days?! (I'm impressed)

Developer (1 edit)

Yeah! I made everything during the jam, technically I only had like 4 days of jamming though due to taking 3 days off for finals exams. You can tell that there was crunch time due to some systems lacking a bit lol. Anyways hope you liked the game!

Good to think I wasn't the only one, literally the same story.

I hate snakes... But your snake is very cute and truly interesting take on the theme... love the twist where snake is poisoned and need to look for an antidote. Good job

Developer(+1)

Haha, thanks for playing the game, hope it was appealing!

Submitted

it was indeed ;)

This was a really good game! The visuals and the perspective on the game are nice. Initially I was overwhelmed by not being able to see around me, but as I played a few runs the limited vision plus the time pressure and deciphering the clues make a really nice package all together! Well done! 

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the kind words! Really hope it wasn't too unguided due to the lack of more helpful hints, couldn't get them out in time! Hope you e joyed though :D

Submitted(+1)

This game looks insanely good!

You nailed it with the graphics - the movement was also very smooth, and the idea of the game was awesome.

Still, I was a little confused on what to do... Maybe that's a me problem,  I'm going to replay it later to see if I missed something :p

Developer(+1)

Thanks for a giving it a try! Nah its not a you problem, I mildly ran outta time to make the game nore obvious and easier lol. Basically you go around to find items then bring them back to the stump to craft an antidote from 3 unique items, the hints for the items are given by clicking on the 3 ailment buttons in top right. Anyways hope you liked the visuals at least :) Learned to not overscope, first game jam syndrome lol


Ps. Loved your game! It's my favourite submission so far

Submitted(+1)

Thx!! 


Is this your first jam? You did amazing! It's really hard to find the right scope given the Jam's time limit, and the visuals + gameplay are really good.

But jams are really intended for learning (this is my second time, learned a lot on my first one) and as long as you did, it's already a victory!

Developer(+1)

Yeah it's my first jam! Actually the scope woulda been fine but had my final highschool exams for the first three days so it cut em short. Regardless i learnt a lot throughout the jam that I'm proud of :) Technically not my first rodeo with game dev, been deving but only on mobile for 4 years, only got first laptop a week before the jam started. Anyways have fun with the rest of the jam games!

visuals are awesome, but i lost the track and reached to the end and didnt know what to do. you can give some hints. overall good visuals and animations.

Developer

Thanks for giving it a try! Yeah unfortunately couldn't develop a map in time. Only managed to give hints by pressing on the ailment buttons. Overscoping :< Still hope you liked the visuals though at least!

Submitted

Developer

Thanks for the kind words, hope you liked the visuals!
