I love the way you try to approach the theme. This game sure has its vibe!
I think you captured both the style and the type very well with the current setup. I have not played “Ape Out” before but after playing your game, I start to understand the fun behind a birds eye perspective with this kind of close combat system rather than a shooter. I also love how your day-night cycle changes the way villages interact with you (fleeing vs chasing, guns vs close combat). Great work dude, enjoyed it a lot.
