Nice game, beautiful artwork, I like the concept. gameplay felt a little slow for me, but overall a nice game well done!

Submitted

A really cool concept with killer visuals! I'd love to see this further expanded on with a bit more polish

Submitted

I wish the gameplay required more decision making and wasn't based so much on luck, but otherwise I really liked the concept and I loooooved the presentation!

Submitted

super cool game! very relaxing a bit of explanation would be awesome but over all its a wonderful game! and has also a very cool art style!

Submitted

I love the idea. I wish the game wasn't so random and luck based. One of my fast runs, not a single food island spawned so I died pretty early. Might want to tighten the code to have certain islands generate if they haven't over a period of time to control it some more to feel more fair than random. Cool job though for 2 days!

Submitted

Really cute visuals and a really cool central mechanic, I would love to see this as a full game with more depth, and perhaps files that had special functions. Like super buoyant tiles that helped stabilize your island as well as negative tiles you would need to quickly cut off.

You could definitely expand the game to have a duality going on of building on your tiles to create different buildings and outposts while defending your floating island and selectively choosing new tiles as they pass. Perhaps even enemy tiles with invaders that attack your people! So many possibilities! 

With the cute design and so much you could expand on, I really hope to see more! Great job!

Fun concept, I've loved the 3d pixel art textures!

Submitted

This is a really cool concept and a really neat looking game. 

Submitted

Really nice concept, it felt a little unfair with the food supply though. I know you can kill your guys, but I still feel like there isn't really a way to win, just hover around for a bit. Loved the music and art, that grapple hand is so pleasing to look at!

Submitted

The graphics are amazing, Love seeing the little dudes running around. I'm not sure how you could make this harder with the current mechanics, without making it seem unfair.

Submitted

Awesome graphics, the style really fits the gameplay!

Submitted

I love the simple textures! Also this concept is cool and could easily be expanded upon to a full city builder or something. Nice entry!

Really good game concept, lots of potential. I didn't understand how to get food but I enjoyed it a lot anyway. The title also looks great

Submitted

This is so much fun! It feel like the bombs sometimes don't come out even when I have ammo, but the concept is great! I could see this being a full fledged arcade game with island upgrades, etc.!

Submitted

Amazing chill gameplay.

I would have been cool to be able to cut off big chunks of land with one bomb so you could be strategic about that.

Submitted

I really liked it, I don't understand how to make food, and also there needs to be a way to dump something u caught in the hookshot because sometimes it doesn't connect and you can't do anything. overall solid idea worth expanding .

Submitted

Hi! This game is awesome for the time frame! The music is super fitting, and the graphics are amazing! One of the best games I have played so far! Congratulations making this in 48 hours!

Submitted

I love the Megaman Legends lo-poly aesthetic!

This is definitely a style of game that benefits from having a lot of content to experience. Definitely wanted more to do/more meaningful choices to make as far as which islands I was taking and uses for bombs, but this looked really polished and nice. Nice job!

Submitted

I like that you can kill your own guys for no reason whatsoever haha.

it reduces the rate of food consumption!

Submitted

Ah, that makes sense. Now I can justify my senseless actions, thanks!

Submitted

Found a bug where you can waste you bomb resource on a tile where you even cannot throw a bomb :(  Love the graphical style of the game !
