The game feels like a good io game. The audio is broken and is not playing for me. The gameplay loop is fun. The workshop is a bit hard to relocate its position.

I have masive problems playing as the game runs really slow for some reason. It took me over 1 minute of pressing W to reach the first bush right on top of the starting area

I enjoyed playing this game. Had some troubles with finding resources but asides that really enjoyable game. Well done1

Wow this is quite hard to get started - timber and leaves seem rare enough to begin with, but I also need XP to craft? Those wild monkeys are no joke when all you have is rocks.

I found it a little difficult to find time to make new items. Between looking for resources and killing the enemies, the time to craft stuff it very small. Also the music seems to layer itself and play twice when the scene restarts.

Fun little game but was hard to navigate back to the workbench maybe add an arrow that points back and maybe add a map as well. Great job :)

I had fun playing this, but it felt like it was harder than it was meant to be. It is always a good idea to lean on the easier side for jam games, so that your players experience all or most of what you have made. Limiting the number of enemies in active pursuit would be a good idea. Also, highlighting which resources you still need when attempting to craft items would be helpful. I managed to get to the point where I needed leather to make an improved slingshot. It seemed like I wasn't going to find any in the starting area, so I went further afield. I didn't find any leather, but did find a jaguar I was unequipped to battle and died very quickly. Giving some sort of indication where to go to find the next required resource would be helpful, as I'm guessing I went in the wrong direction? Thanks for sharing.

Good game! Try making a perfect pixel next time

at one point the crafting stopped working, I pressed E and nothing happened, I had enough resources

I like the sense of progression while playing :) However, the sparsity of items (especially ammo sometimes) makes this game a bit boring after playing for some time. Oh and you seem to be faster when moving diagonally, a common bug for topdown games.

That was fun! Kinda wish the projectiles were a bit bigger, but that's just a nitpick

Nice game. Had performance issues in firefox, worked fine in chrome.

At the beginning I was constantly running out of ammo while being chased by large group of monkeys. Second upgrade of slingshot does 33 damage which is a bit frustrating because you still need four shots to kill a monkey :) I had a hard time finding advanced materials, I have found just a single rope during three playthroughs.

After some time the music started to glitch and eventually stopped.

Cool game! I played for a good 10 minutes until I got killed by a jaguar. I liked the gameplay of searching for resources to get upgrades, though it seemed a bit hard to find them sometimes. The music was very catchy! Overall nice job!

well done. I would have liked an idicator to the crafting hut.
