Still Alive

Overall, it's an interesting take on the theme and the game is good. I've encountered a couple of bugs like after clicking on retry after dying, the game starts paused or some inventary issues. I hope you keep working on it after the jam!

The graphics style is really nice, it's what drew me to the game. The idea is interesting as well but the inventory system is fiddly and detracts from what could be a really fun game. I expect to be clicking on an item to retrieve it instead of dragging. I know managing the backpack is part of the game but too much effort is spent rearranging stuff instead of interacting with the world. The loot window also obscures part of the inventory. I think the items should be one size or maybe have a separate box for handheld items like the gun. I would instinctively drag an item over the bin to discard it instead of the box next to it. That box can be used for the gun.

Right clicking to consume an item and left to rearranging might work better.

The stats bars should ideally show numbers since the items indicate how much they restore.

Yeah, there are some inventory issues, and the game is not really balanced.. I found myself dying because I had ni water. Also giving or stealing food doesn't do anything to the inventory .... and ..... eating that kid does not replenish the hunger meter.

Otherwise, great idea, I'd like to see a full game.

In general nice concept but... Buggy and unbalanced. After every game you have to refresh page, otherwise inventory is bugged like crazy. Also building's inventory is covers your inventory so it's a little harder to take items.
