Hey, really cool game!
Very cool mechanics (interesting idea of having only two slots), and I liked discovering the crafts by trying different combinations.
But as everyone mentioned, it is way too hard. Even after I had found all the crafts (confirmed it by looking at the source code), I was still very far from succeeding.
- If I focused on feeding myself, I could still starve to death with bad luck.
- Even when I tried just going south (not crafting a raft), I never saw the river because I starved or burned before.
I played around 10~15 games and I still lost completely, and I don’t see how it is even theoretically possible to beat the game, even with luck on your side.
But I was very motivated, so I downloaded your source code, and doubled the max energy, hunger, and recovery by eating or sleep. And I still lost 5 times! (Finally found the river, but I didn’t have enough time to build the raft.) So I instead multiplied everything by three and finally I finished it.
Also, you added cool sound effects, but I almost didn’t hear them at first (their volume is too low).
Anyway good job! I just hope next time you will tone down the difficulty. x)
