A rather quirky and aesthetically pleasing game that's both simple and satisfying. I approve wholly.

Pretty good! Nice presentation, although some issues with the text at the upper left in-game (disappears behind some world elements). Fun idea, implemented well.

Nice little game. Found it a bit frustrating that the berries were sometimes hidden under a tree.

It's not and untitled alpha. Points for that.

In fact It's a very well polished game, apart from the hud text glitch and the audio assets.

Gameplay wise I find the adherence to the jam theme to be a hindrance. Having only one tool at hand meant that I exclusively used the berry bucket and dodged the bears with superior agility (a bear would catch a man in RL no doubt).

Another annoyance is the classic "Only one collectible left. Have fun trying to find it!" problem.

In short the gameplay should be more interesting in some way.

I suggest adding light and dark mechanics. Raiding the berries at night with a flash light, which attracts bears if turned on, only having to collect as many berries as you want, for a score, in a bigger forest would solve aforementioned problems. Carrying multiple tools is something to consider as well.
