Very nice and moody game. Amazing what can be done in 72 hours. Very well done!

I had a few issues with placement when I wanted to cut down three trees and mine stone. It had to be placed very precisely, and the controls seemed to stick to the objects. But besides that, very nice.

@incd021 thank you for playing!

I unfortunately seemed to have solved one problem and created another. At one point the player could chop a tree behind them even if the player was looking at a different tree because the tree behind them happened to be a pixel closer.

I then did some fancy facing code that restricted the chopping to a 60 degree cone in front of the player. Evidently I messed it up lol

Out of interest... did you die at all? Did you lose any health?

The game is interesting, but the controls are pretty inconvenient. Great job.

@nikorych Thanks for playing! What was happening with the controls that made them feel that way?

I liked it but I got stuck on the tower and froze to death. It's a bit unclear how you actually go about building it and there are some issues with where you have to stand to hit some of the rocks as well. Looks good though, and trying to balance resource gathering with staying close to a fire is interesting.

Thanks for playing, @randomhuman . Yes, getting stuck is an issue we didn't find a good solution for in time...

Hi! I alway lock myself up somehow :( Is there an exact place when I should "light the beacon"? It's in the top of the ladder, right? I don't know how but I always end up with a fence on that place and I cannot get rid of it. I'd appreciate if I can remove the wall with axe for example. Or maybe even better if I wouldn't be able to build more wall on the tower when it's already fixed.

Other than that it's cool! I like changes of weather, day and night cycles, a you put a lot of effort into it. Also I appreciate that resources respawns so I never freeze because I already burned all the wood. Music sets nice mood, the whole game has a bit of Don't starve vibes, very cool!
