I won :)
Loved the cameo.

Thought the text/status line at the at the bottom was a bit too subtle though, I didn't notice it until half way through and even after that often missed updates.

chopped some trees, couldn't figure out how to make rope. Had reeds, axe. coconuts, and tree trunks. :(

Thanks for the feedback. I agree about the status line being too subtle, but I completely ran out of time before I could change it.

@increpare I'll just say this: Some items can be combined with themselves.

Cute little game. Looking at your blog, I kinda wish you had left him as a stick figure!

Pretty similar to "Lonely Island - sanojian", but I won't hold that against you. :)

Good job!

It's a bit easy, but I enjoyed it. You could have added more challenging features to it. The rope took the longest time to make ... But then I realized the only resource left :P

Good game, keep developing :P

Thank you for the kind words! :D

@Mattuw I had so much in mind to add, like day/night cycles and much more resources needed to make into the boat but in the end it all turned out to be a bit overambitious and I ran out of time. I'll defiantly continue with it later.

@defiantburrito Yeah it seem's to be quite a common take on the alone theme as I've seen other people with similar games. It's quite cool seeing how other people work with a similar idea.

Nice. Simple but enjoyable.

I found it kind of odd (from a gameplay standpoint) that you needed to open coconuts before eating/drinking them.

vubuntu 2011-12-21 17:43

I won. Nice.

sanojian 2011-12-21 20:06

Hey, we made almost the same game :) Same name too. I like your combining mechanism. Would have been interesting to have different combinations result in different outcomes. Maybe after the judging? Nice game!

sonnybone 2011-12-21 22:32

Yeah the rope took me a while as well. I even laid out all 8 logs on the ground in the shape of a box. Felt like an idiot. BUT I WON! ... but I accidentally left my friend behind. :(

So much better than CrineMaft.

Seems a lot like Survival Kids on the gameboy color. Haven't played yet but am about to

gamerman1352 2011-12-25 02:56

I just finished it and it has the same exact goal yet it's much shorter and extremely easy. It's not bad though

xilefian 2011-12-29 18:13

liked Wilson

shigor 2012-01-01 11:47

Bit too short and simple, but it must be good game anyway since I've made something very similar for LD21 :)
