Very nice cozy graphic.The music is not looping very well.The control is really weird but you could get used to it.Overall the game have nice mood.

Good looking little game with a nice background music. though as previous comment, the controls are pretty weird, you should have binded them toward the player's facing, and not through the world's facing. But otherwise, it's a nice little game, congrats !

Nice adventure game. I encountered some bugs like the text disappearing too quickly, (and suddenly said "oui" instead of yes:)). Not sure about the happy end though ;)

Cool game, but some of the text is cut off sometimes. Probably because of my computer screen though

Idea: You could rotate the trees around the trunk axis to randomly to have a feeling of more variaty.

Nice graphic! Is it possible to skip the conversation? Also camera chaging / scene changing is a bit sudden. But still good work!

Controls are a bit weird but as they said before, you can get used to it. I like the music and the art is cute. I enjoyed it :D

some Text issues but its a good game though!!

Not bad, a lot of different locations. But character control is just awful. But that’s why the control was in the maze: QZSD - I don’t understand, it really spoiled the impression of the game. And so it goes for 3 days.

I got stuck! Played it through to the pyramid temple and there was a puzzle maze game that would not let me move up or left. Oh well, enjoyed what I played and has a lot of content for a jam! Nice work.

Wow! I love the graphics. Try adding in some transitions (eg: fades, swipes) to make the game flow a bit better. Overall, great!

Nice graphics and fun game. Loved playing through it. Movement felt a little difficult to handle, but not game breaking.

I like adventure games, so I was happy to play your game.

The coolest solution in your game is 4 different minigames and not too much text. You don't try to artificially extend the game by giving the same mini-games. You don't show me pages of boring text. It's very cool. Thank you.

I liked the level design and the fact that the islands are different. Also, I liked the transition between levels.

Let me know if you're going to polish the game. I will be happy to play again, even with small changes.

Game had a nice premise, and some good quality-of-life features like a map and circles indicating which NPCs had quests. Unfortunately, I hit a weird bug that flipped my scrolling map index, so I couldn't actually see my character on screen. (Also would probably recommend making "up" go "up", although I see what you were going for.)

Cool game. I enjoyed running around the island. I encountered a bug where the door to the building in the north was engaged all the time.

"Impressive game, Very cool concepts. I left wishing that there is more. Had a lot of fun "

The music was glitch. It was a nice entry.

You were able to fit a lot of gameplay variety. My favorite part was the unique minigames on each island. The cameras worked for the most part but there are some missing invisible walls where you can walk off-camera and wander the island without switching cameras. I enjoyed it overall though!

Cool game, as others have said the direction of controls were a bit strange, however it was still very much playable. The mini-games being in the infinite Unity void was a little jarring but not too bad. Overall I am thoroughly impressed and would love to see this be developed into a full story/puzzle/adventure game. Amazing job!

I liked the graphics and 3D isometric disposition of the minimalist graphics. It gives a nice feel and a pleasant atmosphere. However, the game UI doesnt match this, making it odd when you talk to some of the npcs, or the main menu and so.

The music while nice its quite repetitive. Maybe longer loops would solve this problem. Also, even needing more polishing to become more presentable, the minigames are quite fun.

I found a bug in two islands where the camera wont follow the player. Its kind of annoying moving around without seeing where to, but it didnt seem to prevent the player from perfoming actions such as embark the ship or interact with the npcs. Entering and leaving the map wont solve the problem as well, only leaving the island.

Anyway, good job on the game!

I really liked that every NPC had something to say and the music set the tone of the game nicely. However, the controls were difficult to get used to and led to imprecise movement. The graphics and models were nice though and I liked that you could go inside some of the houses, although everything looked a bit too small and far away.

Interesting game, a bit tedious however, mainly because of having to run back and forth on the islands and the controls being a bit weird.
