I took a bit of time to understand but once I did it was fun. It's a nice concept!

Submitted

You can definitely feel the tension in this game, through the visuals, audio and whatnot. Incredible work!

Submitted

Neat idea, neat art, great atmosphere, good sound design! Feels very "whole", like a complete and polished product. Should probably easier with more margins at the start to allow players to discover the mechanics without having to constantly start over.

Developer

If we ever work on the project again, we'll definitly include more lenient paths. Thank you so much for playing!

Submitted

Everything is perfect in this game, especially the pixel art and atmosphere.

Submitted

The sense of survival and tension is abundant; it's a great piece of work.

love the concept of the camera-gathering style, super cool. the visual style feels dope, everything meshes together perfectly. makes me think of mad max

Submitted

Really cool concept and nice animations at the very start. Good atmosphere, art, and overall vibes.

Submitted

Great game! Atmosphere is great and the gameplay really scratches the route-planning itch. The car is IMO the perfect amount of jank to drive where it's not too easy, but fun to figure out!

Submitted

Honestly, I came for the Journey reference on the game's cover and stayed for the mystery and challenge! Very good game!

Submitted

This was really fun, it really felt like there was a good strategy element picking out which barrels to go for first

Submitted

The desert really sells the scale going back and forth! I think a few times it wouldn't scale back at the Tower,  but it was fun and creative!

Good game. Hard. Can't car

Amazing atmosphere and completely addicting. I've made it to the tank and I'm going back for the plane! Such a good idea and execution.

Submitted

It's really ominous and unique! wish it was a bit easier though ^^"

Thank you! It is supposed to be a bit difficult. Try different routes to get your resources. You can do it!

Submitted

I love the theme, mad max vibes...

Submitted

Sick theme and art and sound vibe. Fun to learn different ways of moving. Pretty difficult which is NICE 

Submitted

Interesting mechanic. I liked also the graphics. Good job !

Submitted

Unique for sure, one of the more interesting takes on the theme I've seen so far

Submitted

Very interesting gameplay and the atmosphere is very tense! 

Submitted

Great atmosphere! I really felt tense in those moments where I had to go into the darkness for a moment to then just barely make it back to safety.

Haha thank you, we really liked that as well
