Cute :)

Hmmm, the controls don't seem to work quite right for being just wasd. A little unintuitive. But I see it's you're first dare, and this is 10000x what my first dare entry looked like, hahaha so congrats! Welcome to the club ;)

Not a bad first effort. My main grievance was that the wells only seemed to be around the starting area, and the lake is so far away.

I know what you mean, I thought about using mouse look controls. The original was going to be in 2d and movement is programmed for 2d. But as your see, it evolved into 3d. :s
Oh well, we live and we learn. Thanks :D

Nice effort on this entry you came along nice and have made something that was worth playing.

Pretty cool game! I was a couple steps from the lake and my water ran out.

I thought the coyotes were cute until I learned they are vicious water-stealing brutes! Having a few more wells scattered about would have been good.

I didn't really see any wells, but I did like that I gathered a pack of coyotes :D

@Alismuffin Ikr, Love just walking backwards and watch them. XD

Do you could have focused more like a strategy game maybe? the idea of transporting water through the desert in the pot is interesting

switchbreak 2013-12-17 03:43

Hah, very cute. I don't know why the lake was a big blue wall of water, but I'll take it.

pickle 2013-12-17 03:47

@Switchbreak So you would know where to go. I tried to make a compass, but that failed. :c

i live fun game, good job well done

Hi Pickle!! Congrats on your first entry!

I think the graphics really stand out in this game, because they are pragmatic and do the job well. It was very hard to tell how far away the lake was (and it was more like a giant blue blob?). I was also confused by the marine coyotes.

Perhaps a little terrain would help spice things up, as well as allowing you an easier way to show where the lake is. Check it out, really nice terrain tools are built into Unity.

In any case, good work. I look forward to seeing you around in the future.

Well this was pretty nice to play. The music volume was a bit too low, I think? Nice graphics, the controls were a bit stiff, but okay. And man, the wells were too sparse and most of the time I had no idea in which direction to find them. And OH, once I turned around and the the sheer number of those little coyotes was overwhelming xD

Good job, I made it to the lake!

thecoolestnerdguys 2013-12-18 15:05

I agree with most of the stuff everyone else said:
- The wells are too sparse
- The coyotes look cute
- It's a little disorientating navigating in a desert without reference points.
- The music volume is too low.
- This game is pretty fun!

Overall 4/5!

Not very challenging. I just pointed myself to the lake and went. Like that the water went faster in the daytime than at night.

zequack 2013-12-20 17:27

Interesting game. I don't really get the relevance to the theme, but te idea is nice :)

pickle 2013-12-21 02:57

@zequack, You only get one bottle of water.

I really enjoyed this. Very simple, but worth playing. Great job for your first LD.

alobker 2014-01-03 14:36

Pretty straightforward :P
