No continues in the wild?

solid enough, the workshop is nice.

Pretty cool! I didn't make it all the way through yet. I like the WASD mapped to the different combat directions, and the axe spinning in the air to damage enemies. :D

Oddly compelling. :)

Great item-gathering mechanic. The world is huge.. a bit too huge.

I had a great session when a bug kept my health at 100 (no idea how that happened), and I was effectively invincible. I even found the running sneakers. And then I got stuck crossing a bridge onto another island =(

Replaying the game was hard without the health bug, and I kind of gave up.

A *little* coddling could help here. Maybe a checkpoint, or a hotel or something.

I really liked the "story" and the location names. I feel sorry that the game seems I am unworthy to continue exploring, because I feel I'm missing out.

Awww, no continues in the wild :)

Quite a long game though. It really could do with one or two continues to be found under a rock or so.
Other than that very nice game.

It's sad that you didn't include your song in the game, that would have been great. Excellent game. Congratulations.

Liked this game a lot and wished I could finish it. I tried playing through it three times but each time a bug prevented me from continuing (in the 1.1 version I got stuck after exiting the second workshop; I wasn't anywhere to be seen and apparently couldn't move). That was pretty frustrating because the game is pretty punishing for making you start over when you die. I actually thought the pace of the game was just right, except that it felt like a chore to play through the beginning parts after dying or getting stuck. Wish there had been continues in the wild, and fewer bugs. Great audio, though the boar-killing sound is outrageously loud! :)

If I could move faster was the part I didn't like until I finally got the sneakers and than it was much better

An entertaining, almost zelda-esque game... however, it's way too hard to keep the player alive; considering death is final, there needs to be more ways to regain health, perhaps by adding a drop to crabs or boars that restores HP instead of hunger. Tried several times, but the cannons are just too deadly. Pity, I was interested in the ending.

You've made a good effort creating lots of stuff to do, but I think you might've been more successful if the islands weren't so big and empty. Also I stopped losing energy after a couple cannon hits. Also the axe controls were hard to figure out.
