I liked that you guys tried to tackle a big scope but next time try to add in a tutorial level early on in development so that the "rules" of the game are more easily understandable.

The gameplay loop was very good. Next time try to make do with less buttons so the game is a bit easire to learn - for example have auto pickup of no item in inventory and then have a single interaction key (e.g. E - switch item for current, build, hold to eat)
Cute little game. Didn't manage to find the last ore though...
Played the post jam version. - maybe the scan ability should be enabled by default as there didn't seem to be a downside to it - there were no more fish apart form the two at the very beginning and a derpy shark - I wished I could go down faster
Cool experience.
Got stuck at the flashlight part. Would love it if the movement was a bit faster or if it was possible to plan your path before hand so the game could be played more casually.
Good luck!
Good job with the simple yet very well executed visual elements.
...not really sure if something like autism is understood enough to make it into a simple-ish statement like this - but that just me...(I did'nt factor this in when rating the game)...
Loved the mood and visuals but the gameplay could be a bit more faster and forgiving
Cool little game. The one level with a lot of red balls was a bit difficult.
Good luck!
Played the whole game, found it enjoyable.
I liked how you could go pretty fast in this game.
Good luck!
Simple mechanics making a enjoyable game
Very interesting mechanic though I did'nt manage to get far with it (there was a very tall wall and a image I did'nt understand). Mabye next time try maiking the game easier at the start so there is a place where the player can learn all of the needed skills to advance.
Unfortunately it crashes after the main menu for me. I've had the same problem before with some other UE4 games as well but not all.
Good luck!
Surprisingly enjoyable to play, you guys have the essence of the game down! - id really like to see how far you'll be able to go after also polishing your game dev. skills.
Really loved the direction this game went in! If the gameplay was a bit more clear and juicy then it would be prefect.
I liked the senselessness of it
Fun game to play. If you guys were to add a couple of more levels and more ways to dispose of the noisemakers (+ polish) then this could be a commercial game.
It was actually scary
I liked the voice over but the tutorial was too long and complicated.
Good luck!
Cool little game
A bit too slow for my liking
Great idea but I'd like it to be faster
A+ on the tutorial
Sorry but game loaded forever and eventually stopped loading at 90%. Please try to keep web versions small
Nice, a new game after 10 seconds. We made a similar game
Wasn't expecting a full rpg
oh no, greeted by a wall of text. Like the Dr who vibe
Was trying to win by eating all of the foods until I realized they just keep spawning
different from the others
Had a bit of trouble with the wall of text but then it was quite fun. Wish it said on screen how much restocking costs
Did not catch how it fits the theme
Most innovative game yet. A bit difficult with mousepad, would like to control the roots with arrow keys and space.
heh, paper bag people :)
The visual effect is awesome. Would like the movement to allow multiple keys at once
At first was scared of the wall of text but it turned out to be quite fun
People came in accused of illegal outfit. There didn't seem to be a law against it. So I sent em all to labor camp but soon joined em :(
Movement is not working for me for some reason. Like the immersive tutorial
