Simple, well made game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 38 compilation [video series](https://youtu.be/tHgMVMVGPRc), if you’d like to take a look :)

Nice little text adventure. I called out the choices/results to my 4 year old, he had a lot of fun calling the shots, "Hunt the TortoiseFoxes! Eat the ElephantCentipedes!" He survived 13 days.

I've survived for 28 days. I think I could've last more, but I started trying to hunt more to check what could happen, while my stats were 3/3/7. I don't really get how they are distributed, their sum is always different too, I though I could raise stats by interacting with unknown stuff, but seems like it's not the case. Text that describes the place didn't changed long enough, but I got different plants/fish by doing same activities.

I think game lacks of possibilities, strategy seems very simple - do activity which you can do best (stat is higher). If it has red beasts/plants - do second best activity; thus game doesn't provide you too much options. I would prefer to have some hard choices like work on improving your stats (can cause injury / starvation) or go find meal.

By the way "Play again" button breaks the game, it's impossible to do anything besides throwing away your food.

Cool game! I like the names of things and the general mood of the game. Are the numbers at the top some sort of skillpoint thing`? I found that I had teh best luck going fishing so I just kept doing that until I lost and got to day 40.. perhaps the game needs just a little bit of balancing in that regard. Otherwise a really cool game!

Nice job on the game! Fun to jump around and see what is the more effective use of my time for survival. Nice variety in the different options for resources and tasks you could do. Fun text adventure. Keep up the good work!

Nice, mini adventure game. :) Really loved it. I like how the player hilariously falls at the start :D
