Interesting idea of doing an ethical dilemma for the player. But for some players like me, this is not a dilemma. If I doesn't disconnect HAL, I will have the death of my partner on consciousness and nothing guarantee me that HAL can't kill me after. So, let's go disconnecting HAL.😬
Your story and audio is excellent and put quickly the player in the ambiance. Gameplay is simple, I would like to see more puzzles but I know that it was not your priority. Showing the button "Open Console" at the beginning can skip the story and doesn't put the dilemma to the player. If the button was "Skip dialog" (during the dialog), it will be better for player because if they want to understand, they don't have to skip the dialog.
For a compo jam, you have done a good game. Casual gameplay with beautiful graphics and a relaxing music. Like @curleysam, I didn't see that you can teleport before reading your rules. xD
Good graphics and little story. Simple but effective gameplay (runner). The fact that you drink a bit sometimes avoid to have a redundant game. I just didn't understand the "bonus" after ~100, I think that we are invulnerable but we can't be sure without a text or explication.
PS: Don't forget like, rate and **comment** other games. By doing that, you improve the visibility of your game (smart & classic balance)
Relaxing game with a good audio. Gameplay's mechanic is very interesting and a bit challenging. The story is good and put the player in the mood. But too much texts on the tutorial.
Good job for a game developed by only one person in 72h. Graphics and audios are very nice. A score and a feedback on the number of life remaining will be nice.
Audio are good. Gameplay is interesting but hard to understand all mechanics. Portals system is ok, we have to remember where the player came but you have too many entry/exit at the beginning. I didn't expect to see a shooter as a game, more something relaxing, but this is **your game**.
I think that you implemented too many features. Just Alice, Sapling (gauge of water), portals and crabs will be enough. Furthermore, you can increase the number of portals that appear each time the player restore the tree. (The step by step system is used in many memory games, ex: Simon).
PS: The cover image is beautiful 👍
Strange game with a beautiful art style. 😘🌱
Good Job 👍 Hard game with a great concept. The gameplay is very intuitive once the tutorial done. The shoot system is very cool (triple kills!!!). The map is a bit empty but you have done a big work on the robot that give us a good feedback on which tool we are currently using.
Nice game with an immersive ambiance through the audio, graphics and the little story at the beginning. Footprints are a good idea to avoid to be lost. Enemies are not annoying because you can spam the evade action 🙃 #tricks. Like us, we have the same problem, items (wood in your game, axes for us) are a bit difficult to find and can be annoying after some time.
Cool game with an hard but fun mechanic.
Fun concept with a multitude of puzzles. A bit simple because we can resolve multiple puzzles at once. It will be interesting if only the focused puzzle will be resolved and if we have to write some messages (in a prompt console to stop a system).
Good game with a simple gameplay. It was fun to play it even if I didn't understand why the seed die (even if I send water). Seeing where the enemies will spawn is a good idea. Furthermore, graphics are cool. Good job. 👍
Gameplay interesting but I find the enemies' mechanic very fast. (So I can "cheat" to win 😉). Continue like that.
Cute game. Interesting gameplay with a good audio. The environment is a bit empty, you have a crocodile that you can display (following the player to eat the fish). More obstacles and feedbacks will be great (text displaying "Next Stage" with an arrow at the end of the level.
PS: Your fish looks like that [fish](https://www.reponse-conso.fr/wp-content/uploads/shutterstock_135463388-1000x450.jpg).
Cool game done by three unexperienced guys. Good graphics with a simple gameplay. The shop is a good way to improve our character. The wave is a bit long because animals don't progress with time (only new animals make the game harder).
PS: We can hide the egg in a block.
Hello @datagreed, we have published the Mac version. Tell us if you have any problem with the application.
Furthermore, we don't upload a WebGL version now to avoid bad performance (the game contains many post-process effects).

About the movement (grid-based), we decided to try this system and see what people think about it. It is interesting that some people like it and other don't. This system need some improvements to be a bit more enjoyable.
About the fire, we decided to not give an user interface feedback but it was a bad idea. We have feedbacks on the fire (particles and light) but they are not enough.
Furthermore, when you chop a tree, the number of log increase (according to the limit). This number is displayed on the bottom of the screen.
Thanks for playing and given us good feedbacks.
Thanks to everyone who played and comments. We took all of your advices in consideration. We have decided to do a commercial version of the game. We are re-starting the development from zero. Current features will stay in the game but many improvements are needed (ex: better UI for the fire). Furthermore, new features will be added like the possibility to play with a friend in a local coop.

I don't see this type of game every day, this was refreshing. Sounds are very cool, especially the music. The principe of not killing zombies is interesting. The little default that I can found is that we need to go backward all the time to avoid to be hit by zombies.
[v0.2] I fix the game myself but you have to fix it for other players. Globally, I understand what you have done. But the problem is that you have too many features unfinished. Prioritize better your features when you develop. We don't need to mine or to place plants if the core gameplay is not done well (movements, shoot, enemies, ship).
Good graphics, gameplay is simple and intuitive. Like @gamer-fates, I am not a gory fan. I like the music but not your sfx. (I lost my ears)
Jeu fun et très additif surtout si l'on veut battre un record. Gameplay intuitif et simple (sauf pour lancer le charbon dans le fourneau). La répétitivité est cassée par les changements effectués sur le niveau (ce qui est bien) mais cela gâche l'environnement que je trouve très bien réalisé.
Globalement, pour une seule personne en 72h, c'est du bon boulot. 👍
PS: Quand je lance ton exécutable, ça me lance SteamVR 🤯
