Game is very confusing. Needs more polishing in the gameplay and control parts. I was able to pickup and cut some tree at the same time. I also died several times from unknown cause when I was close to the house.

I agree, it definitely needs polishing
It will be cool if you could throw wood in a spider and it will kill him. Nice game itself, but unfortunately I couldn't get the ending because there is a bug after one death which kills me in new game again and again
Very nice game, the simple controls made it easy to learn and the way you did the lighting gave it a great creepy vibe. Good job!
Nice game, i like it
The game has a nice atmosphere, I especially liked the spider sounds. They were creepy. The idea was pretty good as well. Good job.
Nice simple game, but a bit boring. The idea itself is really cool but some more enemies and a faster pace. The controls felt smooth. Solid idea, has potential!
The game is hard, but of course I don’t think it’s supposed to have an ending. I like the graphics, particularly the fast animation of the character’s legs. :D
It took time to understand the game but the idea and graphics are good!
Neat game, a bit boring and slow in my opinion. It would benefit from being faster i think. Theme was great and it had a nice and stressful atmosphere. Did I say I hate spiders?
I love the feel of this one. The ambient sound and the art really combined nicely! It'd be nifty if this game had a victory state, but I also kinda like the whole metaphor of fighting against the darkness even though if the end result is the same. Well done!
The art and soundeffects sound on point but I couldn't figure out what I was fighting.
Scary! Good ambiance. I wish I could see how long I lasted.
Creepy spiders! I liked the graphics and sound, but it was not clear what the goal was. But yes, I didn't read the full description up front, which explains that more clearly :slight_smile:. Keep up good work!
Difficult game but very good atmosphere. The spiders were actually quite scary and I loved the way the hearth got darker as it's fuel was depleting. Also my daughter loves the running with logs animation! :grinning:
I liked the gameplay! It requires some skill to shoot precisely which makes it very satisfying experience when you actually learn to shoot better!
Good looking art. Shotgun and chainsaw feel very nice too.
It would be nice to guide the player more in the beginning, since it takes some time to figure out what am I supposed to do. I was running around for quite a while trying to shoot somebody until I managed to cut a tree.
Maybe give the shotgun only before the moment first spiders are spawn?
It started nice enough, minding my own business, chopping around and wondering, why do I have a gun when WTTTFFF is that??? go away!! Did I tell you I hate spiders? It has a nice mood to it, even with the raw graphics.
The creepy style is great and the audio is on point! The game play is difficult, even when I am doing well I am always just about to lose. Maybe increase how long a log keeps the hearth going for? I noticed I can really chuck the wood into the hearth at quite a distance, that said I wouldn't last as long if that wasn't the case. Nice entry!
I do wish the mechanics had a keyboard alternative. As someone playing with a trackpad it was a bit awkward and I kept accidentally sawing/shooting things when I meant to do the opposite, or shooting wood instead of picking it up, and hitting the spiders proved to be surprisingly difficult. But overall it was atmospheric and challenging, and with a bit of fine-tuning it would be really fun to play.
Great game. liked the pixelart style... but the spiders speed needs a little tweak. Liked the lighting of the game.! Good job!!!
I love the idea of a shotgun chainsaw
Cool Idea. I think the game could have used maybe a bit more feedback, since I didn't really get why I lost. The animations were pretty nice but I think the speed of the walking animation was very inconsistent. I think it could have used some polish but has a very nice concept :)
I like how the spiders arive from nowere. goodJob. :v:
The atmosphere is great! I think I jumped several times while playing. It's also a bit hard for me to watch spiders and then aim correctly.
