LD46 — Keep it alive

Thief of Leafs (Ladrão das Folhas) by midnight-creators 2020-04-22T00:26:02Z

I hope it helps you guys to improve this game if you are planning to continue updating this project: There is a lack of indication of what to do (even a screen with all movements would be acceptable, or something telling "Feed the Bears and keep them alive"). There is no indication that you need to feed the bears, even a health bar or something like that. No indications of what to do at all, except when you read the submission text outside the game. The graphics are simple but well-polished (color palette, art direction of the elements, etc) and the best aspect in this game is the animations (really good animations, I have to say) but there is a visual lack of UI and interface elements that spoil the gameplay. The mood in this game is pretty weak cause some elements such as sound effects/music, narrative, light or particle effects would help to give much more immersion. You guys kept in the theme (despite that it's not clear that you need to keep something alive) but with not much innovation in this gameplay. As a consequence of these things pointed before, there is a lack of Fun in the gameplay (if you don't know what to do and the gameplay isn't solid enough there is such thing as fun). There is also a thing that needs to be fixed is this walk velocity, the movement is too slow and when you get the fruit it's even worst. Also, I couldn't find any Humor elements to give some significative rating. Overall, your game is a cool beginning of something nice in the future with proper updates. You guys need to find the core focus of this game, especially cause it's a Single-player Game and this holds a huge tendency to get people bored: Gameplay (fun and entertaining to play, innovating or not) / Lore (a captivating narrative) / Graphics (outstanding and innovating artwork).

@midnight-creators you are welcome! I hope my feedback doesn't sound rude. I'm just trying to suggest real useful things instead of just dropping generic shallow compliments.
