lovely game
I really like the season changes, and the sound effects are pretty amusing.
Controls are a bit tricky at first though.
Cool game!
Yeah, the season changes are really cool.
The collision detection is a bit confusing. But I guess he's just too fat.
Very poetic.
He starved to death trying to chop down 50 trees just to eat a few apples. Maybe if the guy wasn't so fat, he'd be able to walk AROUND THEM. lol
This is a neat little game with some cool features. The changing seasons, falling trees, and growing plants are rad.
This has a strong idea and the season changing effect is very compelling and fits in with the theme.
The controls are awkward; I found turning and moving difficult and I couldn't tell what I could and couldn't pass through. This distracted me from the setting and the message of the game. I think that improving the controls would make it easier for people to the other parts of the game (which are really good).
(on playing again, I see that there are shadows around the trees that show the collision circles. The first time I played, the trees were close together and I didn't notice these.)
Love the details, especially the apple seeds sprouting. This makes me want to take a second look at Processing.
Beautiful graphics, i like both -- the trees and the pixelized norwegian, various seasons are a great bonus -- the colours in all seasons are just suiting well.
And the gameplay reminded me of 'the good old times' by playing warcraft 1 and 2, where we created maps half-full of trees, so we had to chop through it, to get to the enemy (or at least that is, how i remember it ;) )
The biggest problem i had with the game is, that it is lagging a lot, so all the sounds played to late and so on. But i had to play it even under such circumstances to see the other season variatons ;)
Cool effects and sounds and all, but I found the game itself a little weird. I walked around, chopped down some trees, ate some apples, and eventually died. Is there a goal?
Controls akward and spongy. I didn't have any trees I could get too before he died.
The controls are a little strange, but the graphics are great :)
Really interesting idea! I'd love to see more!
Nice,...especially the first game in processing...nice
Wonderful and hard game.
Visually stunning. Great audio as well. The gameplay is a bit lacking in that there is little reward for playing well (other than seasons changing, which looks excellent). Maybe you didn't have time for the ending? The engine is a bit laggy.. I hope Processing doesn't end up restricting your ideas due to slowness. The end fade seems a bit too long. Despite all of this the entry feels very solid... good job!
