Aww it's so cute :)

I like the concept of talking to people, but I wasn't sure what to do besides just run around and talk to everyone, trying to fill up my ally count. Never made it past 11/12 though.

Took me a bit to work out you have to talk to everyone. I also didn't find any use for the items or the action button. I like the concept of talking and becoming friends though.

Wow, really really original game. Like it :)

mortus 2013-04-29 11:08

Too bad you dpn't have all the planned features implemented. I liked the idea very much, but I haven't noticed strong feedback from other... people? And without it you can just run and spam E and win eventually.

Very original, i like it! , but i wasn't sure what i need to do

12! I have 12 friends! I AM THE TUNDRA KING

Seemed a bit too easy and what are the rocks for?

orangepascal 2013-04-29 21:56

nice and original idea

deathray 2013-04-30 01:03

Thanks for all the feedback so far! I'm aware that it is much too easy. I wanted to make it so the natives of an opposing color were actually hostile, and add a whole combat mechanic based on crafting spears, but didn't get to it.

Liked the art style and the music a lot. Also the talking sfx and bubbles were sell done. Like others mentioned, I wasn't sure what to do besides walk and talk. I gathered resources but had no idea what to do with them. I became King then stopped.

A fun short game. I'm not sure what the items were for / did?

This looks more like an interactive sandbox and a base for a future game more than a game on it's own. I like the concept of travelling in a world and collecting allies. It could be fun if there is a challenging goal to face.

Man, I cant understand 100% of your game, but the concept is amazing. Congrats. I think you can evolve this concept. So, please play and rate my game, when you visited the link was broken, now is fixed. Thank you.

Well, the game itself is a bit unfinished - but I don't mind, the sound is so great I could run around and press "talk" all day! :-) I also like the art style a lot. With a bit more gameplay, this could really be a great game!

I love the colour interaction, even if its a little simple. I'm impressed to see iPad support (I played the post composed version) and it held up OK. Overall a decent idea, but it's a real pity you never implemented all the little things

Neat look and cool idea, but not much game there. Very appealing concept and graphic style.

stiju 2013-05-03 23:07

So confusing but... I can't complain about it, I made 12 new friends and became king.

zccc 2013-05-03 23:44

I really like the idea, well done :D

spiridion 2013-05-03 23:57

Audio doesn't work in Firefox, which is too bad because your audio adds a lot.

tacograveyard 2013-05-04 00:47

Interesting, but I am not entirely sure I get it.. I became the king, but I don't know what the collectables were for.

jacklehamster 2013-05-04 05:03

Must have been inspired from Teletubbies

lasergans 2013-05-04 08:55

Love the simplicity of communication in your game. The idea has potential. :)

mrblade 2013-05-06 15:57

Wonderful job! Keep up the great work! Love the sound, very fun to play. :D

sparkleswirl 2013-05-08 03:22

I like the feel of the game, but having the inventory and the tree cutting and stuff really broke the minimalism mood, especially since they don't seem necessary for the completion of the game.

euwaku 2013-05-11 04:54

Is there anything else to do beside talking to the other guys? Maybe it hasn't been finished in time (too bad, but it in that case it seemed to be a pretty good start :)).

evildan 2013-05-15 01:41

Really an interesting idea but would have liked to have seen the mechanic expanded some.

phocker 2013-05-17 05:27

the theme was great but not sure what to do -- maybe i dont like talking to people -- nice job

ethankennerly 2013-05-19 18:14

Talking charmed me. Listening to the cyclical music induced me to contemplate. If you continue to develop this: I didn't find a way to use the resources that I picked up from the rock, bush, and tree. I didn't feel challenged; it seemed I just won by talking to everyone, so I'm not sure how I would develop my skill.
