I loved the thick atmosphere you created with the high quality art and sound. The large number of different NPCs with personality made the world feel more realized. My first 2 runs ended with death, but on my third run I quickly ran into the genie and its lamp, and immediately reached the oasis. Overall, really fun and impressive stuff-- great job!

Nice game! It has a very unique atmosphere, I found it difficult to know where to go but it was fun to wander around anyway! :D

I loved the art, but I think the concept is a bit poor: you just have to be lucky, there isn't a real challenge. I'm not gonna lie though, exploring the map the first time felt great!

Thanks for your feedback ! :) The whole concept of the game was not about a challenge, but to explore. I forgot to mention the game's world auto generates each run, so the layout is always randomized at the beggining of each run. Next time I'll go ahead for a good challenge, this time was just to prove myself I could finish something in a short period of time on my own. Again, thank you very much for your comment :)

The art and feel was amazing. I did end up finding the Oasis quite fast on some runs, but I found the game 10x more fun when I tried to get a highscore, highest I got was 2350. The thirst meter really made it feel like you had to learn the layout of the desert so you dont waste any thirst. Great entry
