The game is very pretty, but very confusing. Nothing is explained and it feels very janky, like how you can't (or atleast I could not figure out how) add food to a boat after removing it, and I feel very removed from what happens in the game. I send out a boat to fight another one, and then the cubes jump for a few minutes. Also not having actual panning was annoying since I need to move the camera fast. I didn't really understand what I was doing, (like what the point of flint is or how to get more wood) so I ended up just building a boat whenever I could and trying to get them to explore. And then 20 boats showed up and killed all my guys. I really do like the art though, it just needs more focus on gameplay and maybe a tutorial.
Also I find it funny that you answered "cookies eaten" seriously, and it wasn't zero :P
Edit: I decided to give the game another shot and I had a lot of fun! I really loved the feeling of finding and exploring a new island for resources. The game is very hard but I've never been good at these types of games. I enjoyed it though, 5/5!
