Newbie?

Newbie

Yes - I'm new to game jams!

How does your game fit the theme?
"Just get started" made me think of preparing for a long trip, thinking about routes and destinations and agonizing over the little details, but no matter what you're just gonna have to get started eventually.

A very satisfying game, but it certainly needs some polishing.
Good job!

Death Stranding! 
I like how consequential the game would be if you do not balance the items you carry. I was able to reach the apple tree in just about my stamina runs off and I like the art style to it. I Imagine the scenery if its snowy mountain where you deal with more things that basically the harder mode. Amazing Game!

Lol yep Death Stranding was the main influence for this project :]
I actually did want to toy around with different terrains that could slow you down or be more draining on your stamina, often having the direct path be the more treacherous one. But I did not manage my time well and barely got this pushed out in time :')
Thank you for playing!!
