This sadly seems to have a number of bugs. The natives didn't seem to be afraid of the fire in the least, and when I died, the game didn't restart.

I would like to restart the game after I die as well.
Once, when I fired a spear the character was catapulted out of the map
I like the graphics style.
Interesting game.. I didnt like it too much but that's just my personal opinion. i liked the graphics. but a smooth terrain with blocky objects made it a bit odd for me.
Quite funny, the singing at least. :P.
Aiming is hard!
Took me a couple of restarts to find the axe...
Holy crap they killed me so fast! I didn't stand a chance!
Mmm, i agree with the others. Death is swift and mercyless in this game. Funny graphics, but the environment is quite empty. Feels desolated.
Aww, dang, I got killed because I strayed too far from the fire. But there was no more bamboo near the fire :(
Nice idea with a few flaws in the gameplay, combine that with different materials and more items to make and it's a show!
I really liked the waving of the palm trees when I noticed. This is pretty cool in a weird sort of way, it's like retromodern. I never actually survived the night, but mainly because my attention span wandered and I watched the TV a bit. It does make you wait quite a while after you have your fire ready. Could be nice to force night to begin as soon as you get the fire ready. I realize if I had survived, it would've gotten notably harder on future days with the more distant bamboo. A bit odd that you can waltz right through palm trees, by the way.
reminds me of pitfall.
I thought this game had really really cool ambience, but the actual gameplay has a lot of very big flaws. I built a fire but it didn't seem to do anything except keeping me from getting insta-killed, when the islanders finally came I was able to throw spears (after spending a long time figuring out how), but threw them so slowly that I couldn't defeat the onslaught of islanders coming. So there was no way not to die, and the whole insta-death thing is very frustrating.
I found this a bit too tricky but it looked like you were going in an interesting direction. Right now though just a little too frustrating.
Lol this is hard as crap. I thought the fire pit was the big hole in the ground but nothing every happened. I'm guessing that wasn't it? I laughed at the native sound, though.
Gamplay is not perfect but it's good. The ambience in the other hand is very well done: the 3D graphics, the sounds, everything.
I like the sound effects, and I like that the trees and character and stuff are all 2d in a smooth 3d world.
