The game looks and sounds great. Sadly I was not able to finish it because i couldn't figure out what to do in the second area.
If you move straight up when you enter the elk/deer area, they will start running (or approach the pack from the left). You follow them and protect them against the wolves until they arrive at their destination. The trigger area that starts their run is a little small unfortunately so I realize that some might have missed it. Thanks a lot for the feedback though :)
This game blew me away!
The visual and sound design is top notch.
What a great experience!
Thank you so much for your comment :D
I really enjoyed the art style and atmosphere, it was fantastic! However, I had some trouble figuring out what to do as the elk. It took me a while to understand how to get the pack moving, and I couldn’t quite figure out why the game restarted. I tried attacking the wolves and also avoiding them, but I’m still not sure what the objective was. Despite that, it was a nice experience, and I really liked the game. Great job overall!
The goal is to protect the elks until they arrive at their destination, it will then unlock the last area. Indeed you have to attack the wolves by just going near them. The game restarts if you move too much away from the group, but I realize it's maybe a bit sensitive and triggers too easily.
Thanks a lot for the feedback I really appreciate it!
I really liked it, however, I noticed that the movement of the creatures is a bit choppy.
I like the musical idea of adding elements with each phase change.
Nevertheless good work
Lovely environments and art direction, it was nice to explore the little stories of each creature.
Great art style and wholesome narrative that I enjoyed. Animals were also very cute.
Thanks a lot :D
very cool theme and interpretation. art style was also gorgeous. somehow the fog shader looks a little broken on web player (attached). but it feels cozy to play nonetheless. good work!
Thanks for the feedback. Which browser did you use to run the WebGl version?
it’s arc browser, however in safari it’s a bit better
Haha, only slightly better.
I tested it only on Chrome and Firefox unfortunately. I always forget there are Mac users :(
Thanks for the feedback though, I really appreciate it!
well done!
Really nice graphics and interpretation of the theme! Gameplay was quick to figure out, simple yet engaging. Well done :)
Thank you so much :)
