Been eager to play this one. i remember the first game fondly and was excited to know you were working on this again, and it doesn't disappoint. This current version from it previous outing is a massive improvement. The inventory works great and the level area is much more filled in with content than before. it's exploration is still engrossing and to see enemy's in a more balanced fashion is great, better than that annoying bird, and with a working inventory makes it much more reliable. Starting the game from 'camp' than the ship was a good move. i loved the first game, and i absolutely love this newer, fresher game. i still haven't got round to exploring all that is on other as its quite a huge map, but i will certainly look forward to playing this long after the jam has finished.
Couple of points i would like to mention:
1) Screen size. Full size is a welcomed, and the ability to adjust to what screen size you like is great, but there is an issue, where by selecting full screen has a massive impact on the game speed. it becomes laggy and slow. now it most likely doesn't help that my RAM and graphics may not be up to the job, but it's significant to mention it anyway. When on the big openworld its bad, but step into the door, and the game becomes so fast and responsive and this is no doubt how the game should feel all the way through. Still, making the screen small in size rectifies this issue, but i would say the screen is to small, and you don't get the immersion as a bigger screen would, and you don't get to see the the lovely art assets and animations of our character. :)
2) Getting in and out of the airship. i kept jumping on and falling through, and when exiting with 'F' key i kept falling through the floor! lol, ideally i should position the ship better and use the entry as told, but i just couldn't help it, it was impulsive. my suggestion is to let the player at least jump on the boat platform and enter there aswell.
not massive points, and they are not a negative as such only mentions to consider. I really do love this game RedVoxel and i really do hope that you will continue to develop it further. :)
