The game only gave me a black screen, presumably because I don't have Flash installed and the clone (gnash) doesn't support whatever this game is using.

I love the lowpoly graphicstyle and the gamplay is very innovative :) . keep going

sudodave 2015-08-24 02:15

Interesting, but could do with a better tutorial.

sydan 2015-08-24 02:16

@wijnen, were you trying the web player or the windows build? What OS are you on, I can try and do a build for it!
@FlashMonkey thanks! I think I'm going to have to take a break from this game for a while... it's drained me a lot!

The graphics are really great I like the low-poly rocks with flat shading. It looks like more professional indie rpgs. I also like the glowy HDR look.

modoc73 2015-08-24 02:19

Like the art style and perspective. A little hard when trying to figure out what to do. Well done!

sedsibi 2015-08-24 02:19

Great game, I only wish you had time for sound. I loved the artwork.

sydan 2015-08-24 02:22

@Sedsibi so do I! I considered going for the Jam and getting a load of good third party samples... but I'm just too tired...

dege 2015-08-24 02:24

Really love the graphic, really nice entry!
I suggest you to find a way to stop wall-walking (run towards a wall while alternating directions) because it can make the game too easy.

watupdb 2015-08-24 02:25

Absolutely loved the art. Great job.

Loved the graphical style. Took a little while to get my ingredient harvesting ramped up, but I liked the escalation of the fliers as time passed.

ybalrid 2015-08-24 02:32

I really like the graphism and the feel of it; good job!

The gameplay works well

magnusfurcifer 2015-08-24 02:37

whoops: "Ivy will not wake up tomorrow"

The art style is really nice, and I did feel kinda bad for what I did.

endesga 2015-08-24 02:40

I LOVE the art! Stellar work :)

I see low poly. I like. Easy.

andyman404 2015-08-24 02:48

Very cool styling. You should definitely continue working on this. It looks like it could be an interesting full game.

dustinaux 2015-08-24 03:09

Great work! Looks wonderful but the depth of field effect may be a bit too much. The size and content of the game is really nice for a jam game.

flygamer101 2015-08-24 03:22

Really cool graphics. Great perspective, can't believe this was made in 48 hours!

handkor 2015-08-24 03:27

Your environment is absolutely gorgeous. Stunning art.

elliottd 2015-08-24 03:42

I didn't play long enough but I wanted to rate it now and come back later. Excellent soft colours, visual style and effects are great choices. control is good and it feels like a big world is there.
Really simple generated sounds and ambience could have added a lot.
Excellent entry.

donaldm 2015-08-24 03:50

I really liked the graphics in this game and I thought it had a great idea. I wasn't sure how you were the monster. I ran around for a while and pressed E to collect herbs and a feature, but then I wasn't really sure what to do after that.

I think this game has a lot of potential but it is unfinished like was mentioned.

It is a great start, but next time it might be better to try a simpler game that can be completed by the deadline!

mactinite 2015-08-24 04:29

I really like the art style! Dealing with the watchers are a bit hard, but not too bad. Not sure what I was supposed to do at first either. Good job. :)

split82 2015-08-24 09:11

Top notch graphics!

adamwoolridge 2015-08-24 09:26

Sweet art style! Not really clear what was going on though.

dragonxvi 2015-08-24 09:38

Impressive you tried to make a full on RPG in 48hr! Visuals're excellent, and it's an interest story concept. Those watchers're annoying to get around though :p

nicotuason 2015-08-24 10:24

Looks super good! I was surprised to see that the characters are 2D sprites, they blend in so well with the rest of the world.

lolfrad 2015-08-24 11:10

This game is amazing. How did you manage to make this in 2 days? very impressive

axoona 2015-08-24 17:18

I tried running it on firefox, chrome and ie and it doesn't launch :(

sydan 2015-08-24 17:32

@axoona, that's interesting! What happens when you run it? Did it just not load or did it load and then not work?

axoona 2015-08-24 19:37

The problem with launch seems to have gone magically (I had similar problems with some other Unity games), I don't really know what happened, there was a problem with plugin installation which didn't work but fortunately I left the window open and the game showed up after (a very long) while.. (sorry about that..)

Nice graphics and the mood it's a pity the game isn't finished

randomhuman 2015-08-25 21:08

Very impressive visually, but the gameplay seems to be a bit repetitive and aimless. I'd love to see this expanded upon though.

pietro-ferrantelli 2015-08-27 05:53

Hey man, I loved your last LD entry and you did a great job for this one. Stunned by your artstyle, it delivers a perfect mood, I can't believe it's a 2 days one-man work ! Pretty nice gameplay too ! It's a memorable, great overall entry.

aviktorov 2015-08-30 14:05

Great game! I wish it had sounds.

alxr 2015-08-30 14:40

Love it! Pleased to see such kind of entries here! Congrats!

valenceone 2015-09-11 00:59

This is a great entry. The art style is awesome. You should totally make this a full fledged game!
