Really fun! Very polished.

dcolgan 2013-08-26 05:13

I am in awe. You win the stream tonight. 5s all across the board. Super well polished, I literally LOL'd most of the time playing it. The collision detection might need a bit of tweaking but nothing you can't handle. +10 internets.

misfit 2013-08-26 13:05

Aarrg.. too addictive! Without small collision problem this would be a perfect game.

nitrocrime 2013-08-26 13:54

Wauw great addictive game!

xaychru04 2013-08-26 17:45

I really enjoyed this!
As said before it's really addictive. I like the idea of a "story", and the graphics are beautiful.

zappi 2013-08-26 18:58

Pretty hardcore :) And very nice visuals and music.

cosmos 2013-08-26 18:59

Amazing! I'd love to see more levels c:

cschwartz 2013-08-26 19:00

Nice music, great idea, and good graphics. Sadly, I'm the worst player and always reseting to the start menu prevented me from finishing the game. Really fun, though.

geeks-n-chicks 2013-08-26 21:00

Love it! When I'll have a little of time... :-) Good idea, really.

taiters 2013-08-27 00:28

Sweet game bro

syawqy 2013-08-27 03:43

this is great,the story,gameplay and graphic
and 10 seconds theme you chose to implement
solid entry

reostra 2013-08-27 04:02

Hard, but fair

cappelnord 2013-08-27 11:12

This was quite good! I kind of hated it, that you couldn't retry the same level when you die. Also some kind of alarm when one stat was getting low would have been great!

villhest 2013-08-27 12:41

I love it! All of it! :D

jimanzium 2013-08-27 12:47

Very cool game, you really did a good job. The graphics and gameplay are well polished and everything looks good. Kept dieing of thirst on the last level though, couldn't get to the water in time D:

crazyrems 2013-08-27 14:08

It's challenging, I finished it after the 8th try.
I know why days are not just 10 seconds now...
Well made, polished, and so !

gigabass 2013-08-27 15:45

The graphics are really pretty man, I like them.
The concept behind everything is cool, I could imagine a multiplayer coop game with this as the base concept!
Shame it was short! /shake fist at 48h

ithildin 2013-08-27 15:58

Awesome game, congrats! Tasks were simple enough, yet at times I found myself restarting 'cause I'd got distracted and died of thirst, or run out of time.

xk 2013-08-27 16:08

Really cool game, music and art is awesome, gameplay is challenging and addictive. Great job!

angrygeometry 2013-08-27 18:57

this is a lot of fun!i like how when you finish a task early the day doesn't end, so you can look around the area for future tasks. good work.

mclogenog 2013-08-27 19:38

Fast, silly, and great at making me feel incompetent at simple tasks! It's like Cart Life, Cave Man edition :)

adventureislands 2013-08-27 21:02

Cool idea! Nice use of the theme and overall solid entry.

I would have given the players bit more time to read the top description what their objective is, before making them rush. Causes more deaths than it should. But overall I liked playing this. Great job!

andrewshouldice 2013-08-28 00:20

Wow, hectic! It took me a couple tries to notice the A/K alternation message, but nice job on a solid execution.

zzforrest 2013-08-28 00:32

Really fun! Lots of polish, nice graphics and sound! It's a little hard for my tastes, though, and detracted from the fun.

oxysoft 2013-08-28 04:37

Awesome game man, definitely make a post-compo version

kevinzuhn 2013-08-28 05:24

Would love to see where you were going with this!
My first playthrough, I was too focused on completing the objectives at hand, and did not realize I still needed to eat and drink. Whoops!
When making the axe, I missed that I needed tall grass two playthroughs in a row. The introduction mentioned rocks and sticks, and so those are all I looked for! It seems silly in retrospect, but then again with ten seconds I didn't spend a lot of time second-guessing.

td1801 2013-08-28 15:09

Awesome ! Graphism are really cool, and gameplay too !

matthias_zarzecki 2013-08-28 16:46

Lovely survival-game! Nice idea of subdividing the task into mini-missions

nezzhil 2013-08-30 07:53

I couldn't stop until I finished the game. Really addicting!

vaalen 2013-08-30 13:25

Very impressive game ! Nevertheless, I think it's a bit annoying to restart the game at the beginning when you losing.
Very nice graphics also !

capro 2013-08-30 14:39

This is probably the most interesting use of the theme I have seen so far. A fast life with no time to think. Nice.

diogomuller 2013-08-31 14:19

Lovely game, very addicting. Couldn't find anything bad about it, it's certainly one of my favorites. :)

arcturusdeluxe 2013-09-01 00:07

Fun game. Interesting take on the theme, and nice pixel art. Nice job!

otus 2013-09-01 20:37

Lovely graphics and concept.
Quite fun and engaging!

tobiasw 2013-09-02 21:56

First survival game I've found in this LD - and it's a pretty good one on top of it! The tasks were diverse and interesting. I really like the graphics - they have this console feel to them. The music is great too, and the sound effects fit well.

The A/K minigame could've maybe been made with the Left/Right keys. It came very suddenly after I thought I just need the arrow keys and space. And it's pretty harsh to start again from the beginning if you fail. I mean, it kind of makes sense, but it's not fun - especially because the world is the same each time, so it's not like playing again up to this point is a challenge.

And yeah, it's too short, but what's there is really fun. If you do a post-compo version, please tell me! Good job there!

vaelzan 2013-09-03 04:58

Very punishing. Fun, polished, graphics were great. Personally the game was a little too hardcore for me, the fact that I had to start from scratch if I messed up a tiny bit was off-putting, especially as not all of the game mechanics were explained (food/water bars) until after I died. Had a few attempts though and still had plenty of fun. Also liked the little bits of story each day. Quite an amazing feat for the time you had. Good work :)

vaelzan 2013-09-03 05:07

Also forgot to mention I would have liked to have seen WASD keys as an option! Still, nice work though!

mrbenjaminbowman 2013-09-04 18:20

Very fun! I watched your video BTW :P

almightyzentaco 2013-09-04 23:18

Loved it. Great game.

pinktreeleaf 2013-09-05 00:05

gosh darn this is a fun game.

conflictivelabs 2013-09-05 04:57

Really good game. Perhaps a "second chance" in some tasks would help a lot, but it's a REALLY awesome game. I'm speechless. Rock solid entry!

hypnohustla 2013-09-05 09:04

Great and polished game. Loved the music and the overall frantic gameplay. I wish there was a checkpoint system, it feels really bad having to start from the very beginning. Really really really solid entry otherwise :)

as3boyan 2013-09-05 18:23

I don't know it's too hard for me

loxo 2013-09-05 19:40

Nice game! I like the graphics and the game concept. But I think it's really hard.

hyperbox 2013-09-10 22:35

Overall this was fun to play. You kept it interesting by introducing a new task each day, but maintaining a couple of maintenance tasks to manage on top of that. I can see this being expanded into a neat survival type game. The only thing that took away from it a bit was this strange graphical glitch where various layers of the world seemed to jitter as they updated when you moved your character, even the food and water bars.

xhunterko 2013-09-13 09:09

Perhaps just a wee bit too difficult. Sudden death on next level start unfun and sudden cause of stat drop.
