I think I spot that elephant in the room :) Nice one game

Well, that was certainly an experience! While the gameplay itself felt a little too simple, I still very much enjoyed the mood. Also loved how the surviving characters show up on the end screen 😊

Just me and my gnome buddy, chillin' and watching the world flood

Cool art style. I especially like the end screen. Extra points for the elephant.

I was able to save two of them on my 5th try (I was very confused on my first try on what I was supposed to do :D). Having an end screen that matches the characters you managed to save is a nice touch!

Interesting art style, though I found it a bit too dark to see anything. The end cards were a nice touch. I managed to save two after a few attempts.

The ground around the hill could have done with not being completely flat. As is the water seems to just pop out of nowhere at and you die, rather than being able to see it approaching.

design is unique, and i like the music, really nice graphics, but it lacks the other things, really nice concept!

strange experience, very strange. Experimental, thats the word! Continue with this

Honestly, I think this art style would be perfect for a horror game, haha.

The weird art, with the weird music and the whole deliberately-not-saying-what-anything-means, is the kind of vibe I come to game jams for.

I love how the game started me on a hill, with nothing but darkness, a cozy campfire, and an ominous timer for company. It set a strange, but not unpleasant tone of "urgency in a chill way." The slowly building music greatly added to this atmosphere. it reminds me a bit of Outer Wilds.

I agree with @someone that it would be nice to have at least a fighting chance of outrunning the water. Now me and my creepy elf buddy drowned with 70sec left on the clock. Poor elephant was left all alone on the hill :( (he did look hella cute on the end screen, though. I'm not sure he was that sad about my passing).

watching the world slowly drown while sitting with a buddy next to the campfire was a strange kind of cozy.
