I love the gamplay and art, I just wish the UI was a bit better.

Very neat. Great art and sound.

Great game, love the music. I couldn't figure out how to make a sword though. You said stick>stick>iron bar>iron bar, but I couldn't figure out how to obtain an iron bar. I got the brown rocky thingy but that didn't seem to work, figured I needed a oven or something to make it. But despite that, it's a really awesome game :)

@TimeLoad Oops, that should be stick> Iron bar> iron bar. You get iron bars by putting the ore onto a campfire :smile:

@Lemons Ahh, that makes sense. I tried doing stuff with the campfire but I couldn't figure it out X3 I'll definitely keep this game in my collection for when I have a spare few minutes every now and then

I'm not the best at puzzle games, so I'll rate what I can based off of the experience I was able to have. It was great. I loved the crafting mechanic, and it all matched the theme so well. I've always wanted a 2048 game like this, where I get to choose what items enter the grid. It worked well with the twist of all the items moving downwards, and the crafting system was original and innovative. I do however feel that the enemies spawn **way** too frequently. I didn't even have time to make a sword before I was ambushed by at least 20 zombies. Other than all of that though, the game was fun :smile:

Super impressive bunch of systems and stuff for such a short period; animations are on point

really wish i was smart enough to build that rocket XD gg

Very fun game (had to restart 3 times to get the rocket ^^)

Cool game, the crafting system is really good! chicken.png

Really impressive game! It is challenging to go back and forth between survival and match 3 crafting! The only issue I saw when the zombies came after me I was able to hide off the top edge of the map but then my character was stuck and I couldn't see how to get out.

Nice game with great mechanics and artwork. Congrats!

Knew i would have to play this from the GIF's on twitter. Fun mix up!

p.s. spawning the campfire where you are standing traps you xD

I’m not sure if you were able to see it, but I played your game on my stream at https://www.twitch.tv/saoigames tonight.

I couldn't figure out how to combine everything. I made sticks but could never attack zombies. Is there a weapon like a sword I can make? I couldn't tell if there was ore in the game. I was taking my experiences with Minecraft and transferring them to this game. However I'm not sure how much overlap there is.

Can you build a shelter? Do you have the option to make bow and arrow?

There were a few times that I got stuck on a tree or a rock. After I figured out how to switch weapons it became easier, but I didn't know how to move things to my active bar so I could do things like eat berries.

I really like your idea! The execution was really well too! The one thing that I wish this had was names for the items, I couldn't figure out what was the Iron Ore. I thought it was the orange rocks but when ever I tried making it it didn't work. Again great job! I feel like this game could be really cool!

@saoi-games Thanks for playing, shame you couldn't work it out though. All the controls and crafting recipes are mentioned in the project description here :wink:
