Really great game! Graphics and animation are awesome. Integration of the theme in the mechanics is really sweet! Godd job guys :)

fdevant 2013-08-26 23:52

This is really nice.
The graphics are just beautiful!

Very Awesome! Really great combination of music and art that really sets the environment perfectly. Also good use of the theme with the tools. Great job, I really liked this game. I even searched around after I beat it looking for some hidden easter egg or something, I think that's a sign that you did something right :)

cardboard 2013-08-27 03:44

Beautiful! The graphics are very good and unique, the music fits the game and mood very well, and the game mechanic is still interesting by the time the game ends. The game is very polished and very enjoyable. :)

Great graphics, good gameplay. I'd like to see more of this!

saintheiser 2013-08-27 13:42

Not bad, I think. Still unfinished and primitive. But game have potential. Nice graphics anyway =)

michail 2013-08-27 13:46

Good job, awesome graphics and gameplay! I wish it was a little bit longer.

zkenshin 2013-08-27 16:41

Great game and solid entry (:

wine 2013-08-27 17:43

Made me smile ) Great graphics, audio, mood.
I really enjoy it!

deammer 2013-08-27 17:44

Love the art! Feels really polished as well.
Also, dat ending.

mikegbrown 2013-08-27 17:46

Really good looking game.

rhy3756547 2013-08-27 17:48

Beautiful graphics and really innovative gameplay! Only thing is it could use more levels or something, but there's only so much you can do in 72 hrs. :I

ellipticaldoor 2013-08-27 18:12

Incredible, worked and fun game.

psychomonster 2013-08-27 18:19

One of the best game so far :) game mechanics are sweet like chocolate, graphics and sound are made in heaven... good designed puzzles... it fits perfect to the theme :) Thanks !

joekinglake 2013-08-27 18:22

Really lovely game. Graphics are very clean and polished. The game is fun and there is very little to no down time. Really enjoyable. Great job.

recursor 2013-08-27 18:23

LOVE the graphics. This game has some charm. I wasn't exactly sure what the goal of the game is, but I sure did enjoy running around destroying the beautiful scenery. Goood sound and music design too.

iiechapman 2013-08-27 18:24

Very solid game, I like the way the mechanics overlap to create puzzles. It was a nice calm puzzler. The graphics are top notch.

kevinzuhn 2013-08-27 18:28

I very much dug the art style and game feel. Running around and using the tools was very satisfying, even without much of an ultimate goal. The feathers confused me a bit. It seemed like they tracked wherever I ran out of time with a tool, but is there a particular reason for that?

blizzil 2013-08-27 18:28

Good job! i liked playing it :) Graphics & Sound are very nice and gameplay works pretty well.

nerlin 2013-08-27 18:32

Such a beatiful and simple game. Great job.

fgielow 2013-08-27 18:41

Great graphics.
Nice level design by the 10 secs tolls. Great execution.
Sad that is too short and you couldn't come with an end =/
But great work guys.

Oh, and in one of my gameplays i get stuck behind the great tree over the torch toll.

broxxar 2013-08-27 18:45

A really great game, excellent level design.

Oh and "LOL", I found your Easter egg ;)

rawani 2013-08-27 18:55

Nice job

Check out our game

dreamteam 2013-08-27 19:02

The way the game moves and sounds is incredibly pleasing. The music is great and the graphical style is very lively and fun. The 10 second pickup and puzzle mechanics are simple yet effective! Good job! - SB

jlauener 2013-08-27 19:03

Very good job, one of the best entry I played so far! Clever mechanic, smooth controls, nice graphics, good music and a LOL at the end.

beerman 2013-08-27 19:07

That was great - brilliant little puzzle mechanic, you could make a much bigger game out of this.

tigerj 2013-08-27 19:11

I really like this game. really cool concept and work on the theme. you have all the components of a good work here.

I found a bug if you run into an item while the time runs out of the same item you can have the item with infinite time. an example: have the torch above your head. run directly into the torch from the left side. when the timer runs out you will have infinite torch until you change items.

keep up the great work. you must keep working on this after ld27. it's very fun.

ddionisio 2013-08-27 19:11

Nice art, I love the use of colors! Animation is pretty top-notch as well. That ending made me laugh, I was also wondering about the same thing. :D

musket 2013-08-27 19:15

Five stars overall for me! I loved it, very polished and presentable with smooth gameplay. The art and choice of color is wonderful. Great work you guys!

autlos 2013-08-27 19:23

Hahaha I had so much fun playing this. The graphics are the best I've seen so far.

Reminds me of Legend of Zelda ^^

stenol 2013-08-27 19:29

Very good game. Good graphic, good gameplay and good integration of the theme.

rennfarnell 2013-08-27 19:31

didnt enjoy the use of 10 seconds too much, but everything else was really awesome =D commented on your deviant art about where i got stuck =[ not that it really matters, f5 ftw!

hope to see more of this game its awesome!

kristof 2013-08-27 19:42

Great music and visual style! I like the idea of the different kinds of tools.

shubshub 2013-08-27 19:44

Great Game :) I Loved it every bit of it
Good Work :) :)

anmorales 2013-08-28 01:17

Nice use of the theme, I loved the graphics, the music is good too, nice work!

fireblend 2013-08-28 01:20

Really great! Good concept, very polished visuals and audio, and even though the game is rather short at least it doesn't overstay its welcome. Nicely done! I'd definitely play an expanded post-compo version.

wrongcoder 2013-08-28 01:21

Does it end when how does it end?

Well done! Beautiful graphics and music. Unique and fun mechanic, though I wish the feathers did something.

beardbotnik 2013-08-28 01:39

Great music and the animations and overall art was really charming. The gameplay was interesting and fit the theme, I think the only real problem is that I didn't really feel like there was much of a drive for going further and further north.

koe415 2013-08-28 05:41

Very fun game. Makes use of the theme pretty well, being tied to the duration of holding a tool. The duration was a tad short but it was all really polished for the time you guys had on making the game. One thing that I have to point out: I LOVE THE MUSIC. Absolutely top notch. Please make moar!

folmerkelly 2013-08-28 09:23

Yo you two are rapidly becoming ludum dare wizards. First Vast and now this? ugh. Stop being so good.

Loved the concept combined with the visuals, I really enjoy the 10 second usage of items- would make for an awesome frantic puzzle game type thing.

hypnohustla 2013-08-28 10:06

Beautiful game! I love how it doesn't need any complicated tutorials, you just learn as you go. Simple and effective game mechanic. Great job! :)

mrspeaker 2013-08-28 10:12

Really nice. I played this game longer than any I've rated so far - so satisfying. It felt a tiny bit grind-y having to return for weapons... i think there should be some duplicates at the beginning.

pereubu 2013-08-28 13:07

As said before, awesome art and animations. I like it a lot :3
Gameplay and level design are friggin cools too, wunna play moar D:

sylvain-p 2013-08-28 20:15

Really nice game from all viewpoints. I just wish it was longer!

georgebroussard 2013-08-29 01:06

Beautiful art and music. Didn't like the gameplay as much as it felt tedious to run back for different items all the time. Definitely fun to run around it. I'd work on it further as the art and music make you want to stay.

lekochen 2013-08-29 04:48

Highly polished in all respects. Well done!

christinaneofotistou 2013-08-29 11:00

Absolutely fantastic!!!!!!!

We both used Scandinavian themes yay!

zammy 2013-08-29 20:43

Great work! Nice graphics, nice sound, nice theme - gorgeous! :)

bombjack 2013-08-29 21:35

great game, very fun!

ghribacki 2013-08-30 03:52

Awesome graphics, music, sound effects, humor and mood!
The ending was a bit confusing at first but then it was just funny.
It was a great game. Thanks, guys! =)

zillix 2013-08-30 06:54

fantastic job! the graphics and beautiful and the level design was great. I'm rather fond of this style of puzzle game.

sanojian 2013-08-30 17:19

Really smooth controls and beautiful graphics.

triplevisiongames 2013-08-31 11:33

HOW DOES THE GAME END!? *shrugs*

Loved the concept of this. Love the art too it really looks absolutely fantastic. Would be even cooler if you could add a puzzle aspect to it somehow rather than just fetch and carry, but it works well as it is too.

orni 2013-08-31 14:52

what a lovely idea
very nice game, enjoyed it a lot
thank you guys

otus 2013-08-31 19:59

The game is very cute and charming. The tool mechanic is interesting.

Nice job!

shohs 2013-09-01 06:55

I really liked this. The graphics, music, and the ten second tools were all really great. I would have liked it to be a bit longer, maybe with different areas? Great job though.

bneutral 2013-09-01 07:47

Hahaha that ending. Lovely graphics.

01rafael 2013-09-01 19:48

Not bad

andrewshouldice 2013-09-07 14:17

Gorgeous! I want to spend more time in this world. Your art style is really attractive.

zerkruemler 2013-09-11 18:09

Nicely done. Although there is not so much content, the gameplay is very solid and invites to explore.
