Great job submitting a game! I really love the opening. Being prompted to press E, not understanding what's going on, then the moment it clicks it creates a need to explore. Large collision boxes make movement a little annoying. This game is reminiscent of the game Minute, which I love. The depleting battery creates a sense of urgency and purpose in the player movements like how Minute does with the 60 second time limit. I would have liked E to also skip dialogue, I was often done much faster than the indicator. There was one issue with visual clarity where I thought the log was a river. Adding sound would make this a great complete experience. Also wanted to mention that you had great foresight to have the solar panel serve two purposes of both charging and saving, its very intuitive. Thanks for participating!

Thank you for playing and taking the time to leave feedback.
I'm glad you enjoyed the game and presentation. Minit was an inspiration that came up early in the jam, so I'm very happy it shows a little.
As for the Solar Panel, that unfortunately didn't come until my update after the jam and judging ended. I wish I thought of it sooner.
I plan on joining the next nokia jam, whenever it comes up. Thanks!
I Don't Really Understand What The Point Of The Game Is But I Feel As The Battery Is Too Low. I Don't Really Get Anytime To Explore
What I saw was pretty cool, but I can't reach the end. I got the axe and I presume it's supposed it's to cut down trees or something but I can't get it to do anything. Please let me know if I'm missing something so I can revisit the game and complete it.
That aside, the lighting effect is pretty cool, and I like how the battery meter is represented with an actual Nokia style battery meter. I wish there was a way to skip through text faster though.
A nice little exploration game.
Sometimes the hitboxes seem a bit weird. There are a few places where I thought for sure I could go but was blocked.
But it was fun finding the way forward.
I like the lighting in the cave! I only got to the lake though. It would benefit from diagonal movement I think, zig-zagging around obstacles is a bit slow. The robot and environment art was good!
