I really enjoyed this one. My only issue is that I died from heat exhaustion even though I was standing waist deep in water.
Fun game, but very grainy and I can't find the map at all.
maybe make some tutorial? :D and will be ok :p
Wow, I didn't expect this game to have such a great sense of humour :D Aww man I feel bad for killing that crab. I just meant to pet it, honest! I liked the low fi grainyness, really brought back memories of older PC survival games. I would have liked to see the UI fit with that style too (although it was *very* nice for a jam game!). And a crosshair ( maybe just a dot) would have helped with selecting things. but really nice and you must have worked really hard to get that much done!
This game is okay. Nice temperature and inventory mechanics. But this unnamed omnipotent being supposedly threatens you by making your life a "living hell", but never actually does so, just summoning a harmless earthquake, technically meaning that this game doesn't go under the theme.
Just making the player temperature go crazy would be a good enough fit. Also, the ending sequence was a little anti-climactic, just fading away to the title screen, like dying.
Now you might not have had much time left, which would make sense. But if you did, what gives? I'll admit that with my game, I submitted it 5 HOURS before the deadline, and I did NOTHING to the game during those 5 hours, and I regret not doing anything to it.
I apologize for the negative review, like I said in the beginning, this game is okay.
Good game!
Really loved the art style, it's very unique but it suffers a bit by looking a bit bare. I enjoyed trying to balance the temperature but it becomes very vague as to what I'm doing is wrong and what's right, as the meter moves about very strangely off screen. The messages were very humorous and I liked how the messages followed you around if you ignored them, it's the little things :P
Great job! :grinning:
I think there's a problem with visual effects on the macOS build. Should it be so blurry? Also, the character movement feels a little clunky. Apart from that, I enjoyed it :) Zrzut ekranu 2017-12-27 o 17.41.20.png
I actually really enjoyed this! I loved the humor and exploration. I'm unsure what happened though, I built the fire and a message briefly popped up but then the screen went black and back to the menu without having a chance to read the text. I think perhaps I died but didn't realize it because I didn't have time to read the message haha. I'm also not 100% sure how it ties in with the theme, but otherwise the graphics, music, humor and fun of this game made me really enjoy it!! Great submission! :grin:
A very interesting and funny survival game. The story, music and graphics is good. I would have liked a message when I dies, telling me why I died. Overall a super well made LD game. Well done.
