Just spent a nice couple hours with this game. Once I figured out a way to keep myself above water (it turns out you need to close doors for them to keep animals out) it was very relaxing--even before then. I'm glad the threat level isn't high. The sound is great, which may be the first time I've said that about a roguelike (the door opening and closing is very satisfying for some reason).

Some people have talked about the directional controls I think, and it does seems as though it's impossible to plant on some squares (I can't face them without moving on them). Also catching animals can be fiddly--maybe moving onto an animal should automatically catch it.

I haven't found much in the way of buildings--the berry forest behind a cave is my big discovery--but that's OK, I don't need a big goal in this game.

Glad you have enjoyed it so far! the sound aspect is pretty important for the game, we continue working to make that part even better.

Current version makes it easier to reach these hard to reach spaces to plant (in previous version you could do it by pressing Shift+direction). Animal catching is intentionally fiddly, so that there's at least some difficulty :)

You know, I realized what would probably have helped me with the doors issue--when a door is first crafted, make it closed by default. Then you have to open it to go through it, and you know doors must be open and closed.

makes sense, thanks!
