It's awsome!

REally cool and chill game, love it !

Gosh this is really pretty. Even the UI is tastefully done.

I loved the thoughtful little touches like animated title and the rubber ducky sailing the soft seas.

My only wish is that I could move around a little faster so that exploring this serene place was easier.

Gorgeous game! Love the concept! Just wish it was a little faster.

Thanks so much for the feedback @becher @ashashza @james-joubert @hollebecq-baptiste :) Much appreciated. We've fixed and tweaked some things and added a bunch of features in the latest version.

I spent a lovely time in your game, and even had a nice conversation with one of you. It was really cool to see your wish to show us all the hidden features in the game. A very unique experience.

Good job this is a pretty ambitious game to do on a weekend jam , impressed you were able to get it up and running . I rolled around to the shore but couldn't find any other sticks.

@belowzerogames ah a pity you didn’t have anyone to explore with. I’ll be sure to be in the server tomorrow if you wanna take a look at all the cool hidden features we put in :)

@mastoast thanks for stopping by. Had a great time interacting with you guys :) I’m happy to see the chat system working so well :P

belowzerogames 2020-04-24 01:43

I'll try it out again for sure :)

Hi! It's a really lovely game! I didn't meet anyone while playing but I like the idea of keeping a fire alive together! I tried to explore a little bit and i found some lovely places. I just have a question (spoiler maybe) concerning the "bridge" to get to the small island. Why does it disappear everytime I try to cross it ? Do I need a 2nd player to keep it up or i am missing something ? Great game! <3

This is definitely a very ambitious project to take on and finish in a weekend's time. Unfortunately I also didn't manage to find somebody to explore with, but overall there was a really nice atmosphere that I found relaxing. Really solid effort!

@qyouk @lazygamedevza Thanks for playing :) Really appreciate the feedback. You're right about the bridge by the way, you do need a 2nd player, but as of the latest update, you can build a fire to keep the bridge up ;)

The graphics is epic! That's an insane amount of work done in 3 days, amazing job!

Nice game! Graphics are wonderful :) Liked the audio, too. Controls felt a bit slow, and it makes it hard to explore the world around. Overall, good job!

I wish I loved this game, but I do not. Okay, the graphics, music and atmosphere is really well done. But the gameplay was not for me. The game felt too slow and nothing made me want to play for very long. It is important for me to say, that this is not necessarily is bad game, but I would have liked to see a more interesting gameplay.

I tried to play both version of the game, and the new version is better, and I did like to see some of the fun and weird small gimmicks. But it was not enough to keep me interested for very long.

Overall is this a very well made jam game, but the gameplay was not for me.

This is a nice little game. I love the graphics, ambiance, and music of the game, although I'm a bit confused about what the purpose is. Overall, good job!
